Symbolic gesture: Michelle Bolsonaro takes lipstick from her pocket and excites crowd on Paulista during amnesty demonstration
São Paulo (SP) – In an unexpected and symbolic moment, former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro stole the show during the demonstration this Sunday (31) on Paulista Avenue, which brought together thousands of supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro in defense of amnesty for political prisoners and other conservative agendas.
During her speech, Michelle moved supporters by taking a red lipstick from her pocket, showing it to the audience and saying with a smile:
“I came wearing lipstick, as promised. Because conservative women also take a stand!”
Symbol of resistance and identity
The lipstick, which has become a sort of personal trademark for Michelle Bolsonaro at public events, was interpreted by many as a message of firmness, feminine identity and peaceful resistance, in contrast to the narrative of repression that protesters claim to face.
Shouts of “Michelle 2026!” and “She is our voice!” took over the avenue shortly after the gesture. The moment went viral on social media with videos and photos being widely shared with hashtags such as #ElaRepresenta and #AnistiaJá.
Emotional and political speech
Michelle also used the platform to defend freedom of expression, criticize what she called “political persecution” and reaffirm Christian and family values as pillars of Brazil.
“It’s not just about amnesty. It’s about justice, love for the country and faith. Keep praying for Brazil and for my husband.”
Political effect?
Michelle's presence at the event rekindles speculation about her political future. Despite not having confirmed any candidacy, Bolsonaro's allies see the former first lady as a figure capable of inheriting Jair Bolsonaro's electoral capital, especially among female and evangelical voters.
