Like her predecessor, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema marches to the beat of her own drum. But unlike the late John McCain, the Arizona Democrat’s status as the maverick of the Senate includes her sartorial choices.

From the start, Sinema made it clear she wouldn’t abide by the Beltway uniform of ill-tailored Brooks Brothers “power suits” and oatmeal-colored bobs. She donned a fur stole with a pink coat during her oath of office. She refused to wear white like the rest of the women in her caucus during President Donald Trump’s final State of the Union. During the peak of the pandemic, her usual platinum blonde coiffure was replaced by an assortment of neon-colored wigs, which her spokeswoman maintained was as much about style as it was about safety — wearing wigs allowed Sinema to forgo visiting the hair salon.
