For years, many people have wondered "who wears the pants" in the Clinton household—Bill or Hillary?
Donatella Versace has some answers. The fashion icon says that Sen. Hillary Clinton should trade her favorite fashion ensemble—pant suits and bright blouse—for skirts and embrace her femininity.
"I can understand (trousers) are comfortable but she's a woman and she is allowed to show that," Versace said in an interview with Die Zeit, the weekly German magazine. "She should treat femininity as an opportunity and not try to emulate masculinity in politics."
Versace offered some fashion tips. Skirts should reach to the knee and be worn with a short jacket or coat and the best color would be black rather than the blue Clinton currently favors. But it will not happen any time soon, given how much Hillary has been criticized for previous "makeovers." The senator is a woman of a 'certain age' where pant suits and comfortable clothing is de rigueur. Hillary's look certainly isn't as fashion forward as we normally prefer, but, it's working for the voters.

Oh, Donna, Oh Oh, Donna, shutthefugup. Nobody serious about politics and the national welfare fashion-analyzes the male candidates, and let us all remember the stupid complaints about Hillary's hairstyle way back when she was First Lady. People are voting for a president, not Best-Dressed American. She could wear Kmart and so long as she gets us out of Iraq and into a decent health care system...
It's trivial crap like this that distracts us from the important issues and allows people like Bush/Cheney/Rumseld/Rove to wreak their havoc.

i don't have a problem so much with the pant-suits on women,even though i like woemn in dresses, sexist comment from a gay man, i know!! but, hillary like the german woman merkel, they don't seem to wear them well. pelosi looks great in hers, more of a feminine style, whereas the other two look like theirs are off the rack of the men's department, dark colors and blouses just don't work, for me on a woman, too severe and harsh.

It's great to know we're focused on the important things.
