Pelosi is known for her pant-suit and pearl style, but her role as a fashion influencer gained substantial recognition in 2018 when she was photographed wearing a red Max Mara coat from their 2011 collection. The image of Pelosi donning the coat went viral, leading to Max Mara reissuing the garment for sale. This incident highlighted Pelosi's impact not only in the realm of politics but also as a style icon with the ability to influence fashion trends.

Under Nancy Pelosi's guidance, Democrats reached notable milestones, such as successfully passing the first significant gun-safety bill in decades and vital voting rights legislation. She was also key to ongoing Democratic endeavors to protect reproductive rights, including implementing paid family leave, secure affordable healthcare for Americans, and ensure accountability within the current administration. This was what led to Pelosi being featured on the TIME 100 list of the most influential people. She wore her signature pant-suit in royal blue color with white pearls.
