Barbara and Jenna Bush: Style Evolution (PHOTOS)

HuffPost Social Reading

As former First Daughters, Barbara Pierce and Jenna Welch Bush have grown up in front of the cameras. The twins have always dressed in conservative ensembles and have gradually pushed the envelope while their father was still in office. Let's face it, you can't get away with showing too much skin without harsh criticism if you're the First Daughters of the United States.

Unlike other famous daughters, the twins aren’t resting on their laurels. Barbara, the older of the two, is the president and co-founder of Global Health Corps, a non-profit organization for public health. Her blond other-half is a teacher, writer, philanthropist and NBC correspondent. She also married Henry Chase Hager in 2008.

Take a look at Barbara and Jenna’s style in the gallery below as we celebrate their 30th birthday this Friday.

And have a look through our many other Style Evolutions here.

born and raised as uncaring silver spooners, you can bet they will end up like their stepford mother, without an ounce of sense in their heads.

Nice to see them not sprawled drunk in the back of a Secret Service vehicle. Is that progress?

They have an excuse. They are still young girls trying out different styles. Michelle Obama is almost fifty and looks like a ginormous baby doll when she dresses. Absolutely no class. She needs to take lessons from the always stylish and classy Kate Middleton. Funny Kate is almost half her age and has way more fashion sense. She is wonderful.

The First Lady is a graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law School and is married to the most vitally important man in the world. Middleton is a commoner of mediocre education married to a remnant joke of a dead world of fancy pants welfare recipients.

Still absolutely no class, neither does the old man. They are like to kids in a candy shop who never had anything and were let loose. All they do is travel and party on the people's dime. Ugh.

Don't talk about Michelle and Barry like that. It may be true but you don't have to say it.

Give us a break. It was bad enough we had to look at those vapid faces everytime the news came on. The next time I see them I hope it's watching their father's trial in the Hague.

You are a vicious old lady. Speaking of the Hague. That will be Obama's next stop. Between selling guns to Mexican drug lords who turn around and kill our border agents and pardoning dope dealers, along with hanging out with self proclaimed terrorists, I think he is a good candidate for trial. Well Michelle, aka, amelda marcos, is out shopping for her expensive baby doll clothes and travelling the world on the poor taxpayers dime. Trash.

They are responsible young women doing something useful with their lives. Some of the people who post here need to grow up.
09:53 AM on 11/27/2011
Useful? Seriously? Elaborate!
03:12 PM on 11/27/2011
Yes, useful. I happen to think that teaching and working to solve world health issue is useul.

GOP wants you to stay clueless; why co-operate?

The only time I have seen either one of them look 'good' was Jenna for her wedding -- she looked so beautiful, her dress was perfect for her ... otherwise, they dress pretty badly.

Please the Obama girls look like they just walked out of the good will store. You got to be kidding. Dumps just like their mom.

They do a sister spread for Playboy or Hustler and then retire from public life
01:13 PM on 11/26/2011
They are not news, just spoiled offspring of a former president!!! WHO CARES!!

Wow jealous much.

If that's what you think people should be "jealous" of, you have some pretty low standards.

Strange how they are the richest girls and yet they look poor.
They should hire a stylist, as they really look awkward in their clothes.
If they really already have a stylist, one should check on her or him cause he or she maybe trying on purpose to make them look a bit retarded.
They are treated by the media as special ....well their dad and their granpa are mass murderers. So that is sort of special in a bad way but special anyway.
They don,t seem to be aware of that as they are not aware either of their bad looks.
Don,t they know how dangerous it is to show off their face. They must have been taught to deny the truth or else anyone in their right mind would feel so bad that they woudl hide and cry for ever over what dady did.
To conclude they are nothing close to something to be proud of yet I almost feel sorry for them.

Politically correct is an oxymoron!!!!

Acually, that would be Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Have you seen how they dress?? They always look like bag lady's that just crawled out of a ditch from a long winter's nap. THEY are the richest girls (sisters, twins) in the world.

It was fun to see pictures of them again; they always seemed so happy. They grew up in front of cameras as the daughters of a two term president, and it's gratifying to see them as young women now. It's also pretty gratifying to learn neither has wasted her life. Barbara is the president and co-founder of Global Health Corps, and Jenna is a teacher, writer, philanthropist and NBC correspondent. I'm sure their parents are proud of both girls.

It's good to see that they have put their priveleged lives to good works. Having millions and two presidents in the family will help a bit.
