Perspective: Vogue can make anyone look glamorous, including Pete Buttigieg
Pete Buttigieg gets the Vogue treatment in the June 2019 issue. By Robin Givhan Robin Givhan Fashion critic Email Bio Follow Fashion critic April 30 at 12:03 PM Pete Buttigieg is having his Vogue moment. And Vogue has not let him down. The 37-year-old presidential candidate is featured in the June issue of the fashion magazine, and he looks quite good.
That’s the beauty of Buttigieg’s public wardrobe. It’s so perfectly bland that it roars regular guy. You know him even if you don’t. He’s not the pencil-neck in the suit pushing papers, he’s the hands-on manager who’s getting things done. The jacketless look accentuates his rarin’-to-go youth while underscoring focused energy.
Buttigieg is captured in profile as he is preparing to knot his tie. It’s a preposterous position with his head turned to his right and his torso directly facing the camera as his hands try to make sense of a four-in-hand with its narrow stripes. It’s all in service to the angles. Ah, the angles! With his head swiveled to the side, the viewers’ eyes go to his jawline, the straight line of his nose and the slight cleft in his chin. The lighting highlights a dusting of a beard.
“Man, I’m just born to be in it.” Beto O’Rourke seemed to come from nowhere to the brink of a presidential candidacy—but he’s been on this journey for his whole life. O’Rourke spoke with Joe Hagan.

She has found that elusive balance between style and power: the Pelosi algorithm. You know it when you see it.
