Casey DeSantis, Florida's first lady, once again chose to wear a gown that was uncannily similar to one worn by former First Lady Jackie Kennedy.

DeSantis wore a hot pink, off-shoulder satin dress complete with white gloves, to her husband Ron DeSantis' State of the State speech on Tuesday.

She tweeted a picture of herself with her son Mason at the event.

Her outfit on Tuesday is markedly similar in style to one of Kennedy's iconic outfits. On May 11, 1962, Kennedy wore a soft pink gown from Christian Dior — also with white gloves — to a White House dinner.

DeSantis, a former TV journalist, has been known to wear outfits similar in style to former first ladies like Kennedy and Melania Trump.

At her husband's inauguration in 2019, DeSantis wore a light blue collared coat from Ted Baker. This was reminiscent of a Ralph Lauren outfit Melania Trump wore to her husband's presidential inauguration on January 20, 2017.

These fashion choices from Casey DeSantis come as her family rises in prominence within the Republican Party.

Ron DeSantis has not announced a presidential run of his own yet, but he is a favorite to run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024. He is also one of former President Donald Trump's top political rivals.

Casey DeSantis is also viewed as the powerhouse behind her husband's political career.

"It's clear she's the X factor," Scott Parkinson, one of Ron DeSantis' former chiefs of staff in the US House of Representatives, told Insider's Lyz Lenz and Kimberly Leonard. "They complete the political element that is Ron DeSantis. Without Casey, he would not be the same person."

Casey and Ron DeSantis wed in 2009 and have three children together — Madison, Mason, and Mamie.

Representatives for Casey DeSantis did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
