She’s quite literally rocking the vote.

Dr. Jill Biden sent a strong message to Americans at husband President Joe Biden’s post-debate rally in Raleigh, NC on Friday, clad in a navy blue silk crepe Christian Siriano dress with an all-over “Vote” print.

“Dr. Biden wearing my dress sends a clear message to us all. A vote for Biden is a vote for human and civil rights,” the designer tells Page Six Style in a statement.

“As a young American brand and designer, what we can do is give our clothes a voice and I hope this speaks to you. Now let’s get to work!”

The first lady, 73, accessorized with pearl drop earrings, a dainty necklace, several bracelets and coordinating navy pointed-toed pumps.

The designer’s “Vote” print has become a Hollywood favorite in recent years, with similar styles popping up on the likes of Lizzo, Julianne Moore, Julia Roberts and Sarah Hyland.

Siriano has dressed Dr. Biden in the past, as well as other White House women like former first lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“When you get to dress those people, it definitely feels really great because the whole world sees them,” the “Project Runway” alum told Business Insider last week.

“You feel so great because a person who everyone’s looking up to chose to wear something. It’s kind of like the ultimate compliment.”

The Bidens had traveled to North Carolina from Atlanta, where the 81-year-old president debated former POTUS and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, 78.

The first lady isn’t one to shy away from eye-catching styles. Last May, she wore head-to-toe hot pink for an audience with the UK Prime Minister’s wife, Akshata Murthy, ahead of King Charles’ coronation.

And for a 2021 meeting with Kate Middleton, Dr. Biden picked a Barbiecore blazer by L’Agence that perfectly coordinated with the royal’s magenta Alexander McQueen dress.

And who could forget about the first lady’s head-turning fishnets?
