For her appearance on Wednesday, Pelosi changed up her outfit slightly by wearing a blue face mask and ditching the gold Ann Hand brooch that she wore in 2019.
The gold accessory Pelosi wore in 2019 was inspired by the mace of the House of Representatives. It features an eagle on top of a globe and a central shaft that is made up of 13 bundled rods representing the original colonies, according to The Washington Post. It's supposed to symbolize the same mace that sits on a pedestal to the House Speaker's right during House sessions.
Throughout the pandemic, Pelosi has also worn a range of colorful face masks that are not only stylish but also send a powerful message. As Insider's Darcy Schild previously reported, Pelosi's choice to wear masks "sets her apart from other political leaders who do not consistently wear a face covering at public appearances, including President Trump."
The House Speaker has followed expert guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which advises that people wear a face covering in public to help curb the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
Representatives for Nancy Pelosi did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
