Cuozzo, a menswear designer who just recently started in womenswear, has made several suits for Leavitt and her 60-year-old husband, Nicholas Riccio.

The Boston-based business owner said he met Leavitt right after Thanksgiving, just weeks after President Donald Trump won the 2024 election.

Leavitt had already been picked for the press secretary role – making her the youngest to ever hold the position – and she knew she would need the garb for the job.

Cuozzo said that despite being under the pressure of daily life in the White House, Leavitt and Riccio met him with friendly attitudes as they decided what their custom pieces would look like.
