Among those seen wearing white were Reps. Norma Torma Torres, Linda Sanchez and Nanette D. Barragán.
While some House Democratic women wore white in solidarity for women's rights, others wore royal blue, yellow ribbons and dog tags to show support for Ukraine and American hostages still being held captive by Hamas.
Family members of several hostages are expected to be in attendance to Biden's SOTU address, as well as individuals with personal accounts with abortion and IVF.
