Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona is known for wearing bold looks in Congress.
She has presided over the Senate in a denim vest and pink sweater that read "Dangerous Creature."

Aside from making headlines for her private jet usage and her switch from Democrat to Independent, Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema is also known for wearing bold outfits involving wigs, sequins, and distressed denim in the halls of Congress.

In a 2021 interview with Politico, Sinema called news coverage of her eccentric clothes "very inappropriate," saying, "It's not a news story and it's no one's business."

Despite her reluctance to discuss her fashion choices, political commentators and fashion experts agree that Sinema's style provides a glimpse into her strategy as an individualistic politician. Sinema's office did not immediately respond to questions sent by Business Insider prior to publication.

Here's a look at some of Sinema's most memorable looks.

In 2020, Sinema wore a variety of colorful wigs on the Senate floor.
