On the 26th, Britain's Telegraph ran a story about the controversy surrounding 23-year-old Natalie Winters, a reporter for a conservative podcast.

The Telegraph dubbed her "the MAGA correspondent who brought a war to the White House press room," saying her shoulder-length blonde hair and white miniskirt could give off a "wandering cheerleader" vibe.

Some veteran columnists even compared Winters' outfit to the uniforms worn by staff at the U.S. restaurant chain Hooters.

Winters—four years younger than Caroline, who at 27 became the youngest-ever White House press secretary—has been a social media lightning rod for her flashy, provocative fashion. She kept that look when she entered the White House press room and drew attention from day one.

Winters posted photos from her first day covering the White House to her social channels and captioned them, "I'm officially a White House correspondent." In the photos she wore a black knit top with a white miniskirt, finished off with white socks and white sneakers.
