Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton always experimented with how she wanted to look, whether it was with her clothes, her jewelry, or her hairstyles. The public got to see eight years of a first lady trying to figure out what was right for her and was attractive. In her defense, she didn’t make any taste bloopers, and it took her a long time to master the politics of style. As you can see in her various roles after her White House years, she handles suits very well. She finally figured out what hairdo and whose dresses looked best on her.
