After facing intense scrutiny following her appearance at President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Lauren Sánchez is reflecting on recent events. In a recent Instagram post featuring her piloting a small aircraft, Sánchez cryptically shared her thoughts on the beginning of 2025. She wrote, “Some years start with turbulence, but that’s just the wind reminding you to spread your wings. Good to be back in the air…Here’s to flying farther than we ever imagined.”
Sánchez’s mention of “turbulence” could be interpreted in various ways, with many linking it to the backlash she received for her outfit at the inauguration. Despite not publicly addressing the criticism, Sánchez’s Instagram post garnered over 7,500 likes and prompted comments from her celebrity friends, including singer-songwriter Jewel.
The controversy surrounding Sánchez’s attire at the inauguration, particularly her white Alexander McQueen pantsuit with a plunging neckline revealing a push-up corset bra, drew criticism from conservative figures like Megyn Kelly. Photos and videos of Sánchez seated next to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg quickly went viral, sparking further debate.
While Sánchez has remained mostly silent on the issue, her Instagram post hints at her determination to rise above the noise. As she navigates through this turbulent period, Sánchez seems focused on spreading her wings and aiming for new heights.
