She accessorized with a bald eagle brooch featuring the U.S. flag—a powerful symbol of patriotism and unity. The eagle, a national emblem since 1782, highlighted her deep connection to American politics and values.
Hillary also wore a pearl necklace and matching earrings. Pearls, long associated with mourning attire, symbolized sympathy and respect for the deceased.
Laura Bush
Laura Bush brought her characteristic Southern charm to the state funeral with a classic and respectful ensemble. The former First Lady wore a simple black dress with a wide round neckline and three-quarter-length sleeves—a timeless silhouette exuding elegance and restraint.
Her outfit was complemented by a two-row pearl necklace, a traditional choice for mourning attire. Pearls have long symbolized sympathy and condolence, making them a fitting accessory for such a solemn event.
Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama did not attend the funeral, a rare absence for the former First Lady, who has previously attended other presidential services. “Where is Michelle?” one social media user wondered.
Another commented, “Hope Michelle is ok… it feels weird she’s not there.” A third added, “Where is Michelle? From what I am seeing everyone came with their partner.”

Her absence was attributed to a scheduling conflict, as she was in Hawaii on an extended holiday. CNN’s Jeff Zeleny reported that her advisers confirmed her absence was due to logistics and timing.
Michelle’s spokesperson, Crystal Carson, stated that Michelle sent her “thoughts and prayers to the Carter family” in lieu of attending.
The presence of most living First Ladies at Carter’s funeral was a moving moment in U.S. history. Each of these women, through their unique styles and thoughtful ensembles, paid tribute to the late president in a way that reflected their personalities and legacies.
