Joe and Jill Biden made an unexpected return to the spotlight on March 23, and it wasn’t for politics.
The former president and first lady stepped out in style for the Broadway premiere of Othello at The Barrymore Theater in New York City—and immediately sparked a wave of comments online.
The couple have largely kept a low profile since Donald Trump returned to the White House in January.
Therefore, their arrival on Broadway was met with a flurry of cameras and cheers, according to Newsner.
But what truly caught everyone’s attention wasn’t the star-studded cast—Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal—it was how good the Bidens looked.
“They Look 10 Years Younger”
Dressed in a classic black tuxedo, the 82-year-old former president appeared noticeably more relaxed than during the election campaign just a few months ago.
Jill Biden, 73, wowed the crowd in a shimmering teal gown that social media quickly declared the showstopper of the night.
“President Biden looks so relaxed and actually younger. Forever FLOTUS looks so beautiful,” one fan wrote on X.
“He looks so good,” another agreed.
Reddit users echoed the sentiment.
“Joe literally looks 10 years younger,” one wrote.
“They always look so classy,” added another.
Instagram wasn’t far behind, with one user asking, “Is it me, or does he look younger since leaving office?” and another calling Jill “absolutely stunning in that dress.”
The Bidens’ night out also came with a cultural twist, as they attended one of the most anticipated revivals of the year.
After the curtain closed, the couple met with the cast backstage, posing for photos with Washington, Gyllenhaal, and director Kenny Leon.
Jill Steals the Spotlight
If Joe Biden looked refreshed, Jill Biden was radiant.
Her long-sleeved, glittering blue gown paired with silver jewelry quickly became the talk of fashion watchers.
On her Instagram, Jill shared a candid moment from the evening with the caption: “Date night. Riveting… brilliant… BRAVO!” The photo showed the two smiling inside the theater after the performance.
The comments poured in.
“Jill is rocking that dress! What a stunning color on her.”
For now, they seem content enjoying the quieter moments. But if this outing proved anything, it's that the Bidens haven’t lost their star power.
