Hillary Clinton Is Back In Black Leather

Hillary Clinton Is Back — In Black Leather

Well played, Hillz.


They say you should dress for the job you want. If Hillary Clinton is following that rule, her new dream job likely involves kicking ass and taking names.


snip//




If the days of the angelic white pantsuit are gone, we can’t say we’re too torn up over it. It’s not that we don’t have the utmost respect for her usual style, it’s just that this new look has a welcome dose of attitude.


It also signals that Clinton is having more fun and being more creative with her clothing. She seldom strayed from solid color pantsuits during her presidential campaign, or, for that matter, over the course of her career in Washington. An image expert told US Weekly in September her iconic style was “a way to get people to focus on her seriousness, to portray that she is serious about the job.”



Now that Clinton says she’s ready to be back in the public eye, we’re hoping this leather jacket signals there’s more powerful garb to come. Her campaign ― and her value ― never had anything to do with her clothes, of course. But all you have to do is look to the white pantsuit she wore to the inauguration in solidarity with the women’s movement to know that she does use fashion to send messages, both to her supporters and opponents.


We can’t wait to see what comes next.

13. Yes indeed!

[jmg257]

3. Psst - bet what's coming are more speeches!!

[kydo]

4. Ya know, I have been wearing a lot of black since the funeral, oops election.

I like black. Was even thinking of dying the hair black. Not goth. Just black.

Hillary looks good in black!

[lunamagica]

5. she looks great! Healthy and fit, unlike...you know who

[Volaris]

6. Those lines are sharp and powerful. They suit her well.

Love that smile, btw. SHE knows she didnt fucking lose, and the rest of America is closer every day to knowing it with her. It's a good thing she's too much of a pro to ever gloat, cause that vast, Right-wing conspiracy? Yeah, that's about to be proven true, and MotherRussia helped with that shit. The Cons are going to (once again) wish they hadn't fucked with her.

8. Still with HER. She rocks that jacket!!

[iluvtennis]

25. +++ agree

[mcar]

9. Is there no end to the woman's strength?

She looks amazing - rested, happy and badass. What I would give to see Pres Hillary in leather!

[sheshe2]

10. All that rolled into one!

Her strength is endless, mcar.

[mcar]

17. I have so much respect for her, she

[NurseJackie]

11. She inspires me! Hillary TOTALLY ROCKS!! She makes me PROUD to be a DEMOCRAT!

[sheshe2]

14. I am with ya Jackie!

[secondwind]

12. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I don't like this look. n/t

[PatSeg]

15. I love that look on her

So much better than all those pastels she often wore. This looks like a strong woman liberated from all those conflicting expectations of her during the campaign. It feels like a statement.

[KittyWampus]

16. It's sexist to talk about her clothes. Period. We'd never say the same about a male politician

unless it was derision (Gore's sweaters).

[Amimnoch]

44. Many discussion threads about PBO's clothes

Style, appearance, look, and demeanor.

Magazines, journals, and news sources have done many articles on him.

Heck there was numerous articles on his style just in the last week in New York!

[George II]

18. I was going to say last night when the first posts appeared that "she looks good in leather", but...

...thought "some" would find a reason to alert it.

She DOES look great, well rested, an looks like she lost a little weight. I hope this is the start of good things to come.

[calimary]

19. And I have MISSED her.

Been feeling like a boat without a rudder in the middle of a big lake.

SO GREAT to see her and hear her again. That's one voice that deserves to be heard. Besides, it might remind more than a few about the ever-more-painful contrast in the choices we had. I suspect these clips of her that are now getting exposure have provoked more than a few thoughts about "oh, MAN, imagine what if..." Her demeanor is still as presidential as can be. Hoping it provokes MASSIVE buyers' remorse!

[MontanaMama]

20. The lesson we can all take from her is

Resilience. If she can get knocked down like she was and get back up again to kick ass, we can too. I often think of Hillary when I am feeling weak and overwhelmed by this tennis ball machine full of shit we are dodging on a daily basis. I wonder how she has done it. Resilience.

[llmart]

21. Our gorgeous President Clinton.

What an amazing woman. I wish like hell she was running our country so I could sleep well at night, but on the other hand, I think she's looking better than ever. She'll find other ways to contribute because that's who she is and I think she deserves to pick and choose what she does. I'm her age and if I had her money I'd do the same thing.

She has always been a wonderful role model for women.

[NBachers]

23. You know, in a way, she really dodged a bullet. The Republicans would've been Defcon 1 million 24-7.

I hate what they are doing to our country now, and I never was part of the "let them win and blow it up" crowd. But they are blowing it up, and I am hoping against hope that this time they won't get away with it.

My heart still aches for Hillary to be president, but I am glad that I do not have to see the abuse she would be suffering in that office.

[McCamy Taylor]

22. WTG!

Rock it, mama!

[Starry Messenger]

24. k&r

[R B Garr]

26. Love it! Why should she let others define her or

steal her thunder. Enough of playing by others rules and biting her tongue.

[RKP5637]

27. A warrior returns!!! K&R!!! n/t

[sheshe2]

28. We need her help for 2018

she will be amazing!

[RKP5637]

31. Definitely, I'm glad to see her back than seeming defeated. Yes,she will be a strong voice for 2018!

[sheshe2]

33. Maybe I can catch her in MA

Stumping for Warren!

[luvMIdog]

29. music-

[Wounded Bear]

30. Just another nasty woman...

[Red Mountain]

32. I get the fan aspect.....

She's wearing special outfits to indicate (according to people who seem to place great interest in that sort of thing) a certain.....something or other. As if we need a secret system to communicate her political desires.

Great.

Step it up a bit if you want to retain a leadership role in the Democratic party, Mam.

Say what you mean. With words. Attack, attack, attack.

Form a shadow government.

Or step aside and enjoy what you've earned.

[murielm99]

36. She has always said what she means.

And she does not have to step aside or anywhere else that she does not want to step.

[sheshe2]

38. Thanks, murielm.

I totally agree.

[Lucinda]

43. + eleventy billion

[NastyRiffraff]

41. Thanks for shitting on a positive thread

Good grief. Some people just can't help themselves when given an "opportunity" to trash Hillary Clinton.

[niyad]

34. black is great, and President Clinton looks fantastic!!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

35. I still would have preferred to see her like this:

[sammythecat]

37. I thought she looked great

in that black leather. Really sharp. A nice change of pace. Loved it!

[Tarheel_Dem]

39. The girl is fierce!

[sheshe2]

40. Ha!

Love that gif, Tarheel!

[NastyRiffraff]

42. Welcome back, Madam President!

I'm so glad to see her kicking ass!
