Bursting onto the South Carolina political scene in 2018, Nancy Mace has made a national name for herself through her boisterous career as well as being the first female to graduate from the Corps of Cadets. Of course, Mace also boasts her fair share of controversies, and appears to welcome fighting amongst her own party. But outside of Mace's brutal feud with fellow controversial conservative Marjorie Taylor Greene, there's the issue of how Mace presents herself to the world via her fashion choices.
From her love of skintight dresses and a habit of wearing giant knee-high boots, Mace's sense of style speaks volumes about her personality.
Similar to how Mace was doing her best to hog the spotlight at the White House prayer breakfast, many of the outfits she's worn to work have suggested she prefers the limelight. Knowing how to dress in a way that conveys who you are is a talent that often needs to be nurtured, or else you might come out looking like you can't read the room. Unfortunately for Mace, there have been plenty of times she has worn the wrong outfit for the occasion — here are six examples of Mace in inappropriate outfits.

Nancy Mace Was Too Dressed Down For Her Own Event
Nancy Mace celebrated her "very first Lowcountry Women for Mace event" out on the town, according to her Instagram post. However, it seems Mace didn't even bother to get gussied up for her own party. While everyone else is seen wearing dresses or at least business casual attire, Mace is sporting tight capri cut jeans and a fuzzy vest that looks like it came from a swag bag for a tech startup. Not the most professional way to present herself here.
Nancy Mace Accidentally Put Her Legs On Display
In an Instagram post dedicated to discussing "pediatric care for children," Nancy Mace wore a dress that accidentally showed off more skin than she was most likely bargaining for. While the skintight black dress was most likely an appropriate length for work when Mace is standing, upon sitting, the hem does give way to reveal Mace's incredibly toned legs. Not that showing them off is a bad thing, but having them on display does distract from the meeting at hand.
Nancy Mace Pushed The Limits Of Appropriate Workwear
Seen in her Instagram post from September 2024, Nancy Mace was spotted wearing the above light blue see-through lace number to her job in Congress. Considering that sheer mesh has since been banned on the red carpet of Cannes, it feels very bold of Mace to attempt such a style for her day job. To top it all off, the look is rather skin-hugging and appears to have a short hem — not the most appropriate look for someone to wear to a professional workplace.
Nancy Mace's Killer Legs Braved The Cold
While Nancy Mace was not one of the worst-dressed politicians at Donald Trump's inauguration, she did sport some incongruent outfits. Seen here in an Instagram post bragging about attending a party thrown by the Daily Caller, Mace is rocking a shimmering gold gown. While the cut and cinched style and random draping are their own can of worms, the most shocking element of this fit is that Mace decided to boldly show off her legs in the frigid Washington, D.C. winter. The fact that Trump had to move his inauguration inside due to inclement weather apparently was not enough to keep Mace from strutting her stuff in the cold.
Nancy Mace Wore Her Pajamas To Work
To get President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" passed, it required Congress to work around the clock to push the monster bill through. Nancy Mace decided to make a cute night of it by wearing her polka-dotted pajamas and making some social media content about it, as can be seen in this post on X, formerly Twitter. While the stunt might have been Mace trying to work on her relationship with Trump, it ultimately came off as unprofessional to wear such an outfit in the halls of Congress.
Nancy Mace Copied Kristi Noem By Playing Dress Up
In what appears to be a repost from a previous time Nancy Mace did a police ride-along, the South Carolina representative shared a photo to Instagram detailing her support for "LAW AND ORDER." Unfortunately she wasn't talking about the show, although Mace did pull a Kristi Noem and dressed up in a costume fit for television.
The vest Mace has in her hands makes the viewer feel strangely uneasy, unsure if she's simply holding it up or wearing it. Then there's the matter of her boots — the oversized, knee-high, high-heeled boots are not the wisest of choices for a ride-along. Nothing about this outfit feels appropriate for a gritty night out.
