HILLARY CLINTON IS BACK - URGES WOMEN TO DEMAND EQUAL RIGHTS
hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign was marked by, among other things, her pointed fashion choices. Every color, pantsuit, jacket, and hairstyle was thought out and intentional, often sending a greater message to her constituents or at least fending off the critics who have been tearing apart her appearance since her days as First Lady—something that even a man who uses Scotch tape in lieu of a tie clip rarely endures.
In the months since the election, Clinton has emerged anew from the woods and is back on the speaking circuit with a new style that fits her bolder, even more confrontational attitude toward the man she squared off against last year.
On Tuesday, Clinton, in a fitted leather blazer and floral button-down, showed off one of her edgiest looks yet. While delivering the keynote address at the Professional Business Women of California conference in San Francisco, Clinton seemed to be fully embracing the next chapter of her life. She criticized current policy, urged people to “Resist, insist, persist, enlist,” and even joked about the election saying, “There is no place I'd rather be than here with you. Other than the White House.” It was a speech that, in the way Michelle Obama did during the campaign, called out Donald Trump and his administration without ever saying his name.
At the Girls Inc. luncheon Clinton rightly put the focus on women, but she has found subtle ways to criticize the man who beat her in the presidential election. At the Oscar de la Renta Forever Stamp dedication ceremony in February, she delivered a speech that moved forward and was political, highlighting the importance of the Constitution and immigrants like de la Renta: “What a fitting person to be chosen by our Postal Service, mentioned, by the way in the Constitution. And its choice of this immigrant who did so much for our country, his country, truly is what it means when we say, ‘U.S.A. Forever.’ ” For the ceremony, she wore a wool Oscar de la Renta coat and gold-disc statement necklace, which, like her speech, was just a little bit bolder than what she wore on the campaign trail.
The small group of Clinton aides who are still in regular contact with the 2016 Democratic nominee say Clinton, through a series of speeches she will give in the coming months, won't shy away from defending "core American values" when they are questioned or challenged.
Does that mean she will take on Trump and his administration if needed? Yes, advisers say, as was clear by Tuesday's broadside against White House press secretary Sean Spicer. But, to date, Clinton has tried not to hone her critiques directly at the President, who she has not spoken to since she conceded to him early in the morning on November 9.
