I know that many have been waiting to see some pictures of the stunningly beautiful Secretary of State today as she participated in welcoming President Hu to Washington, D.C. These pictures were taken on the South Lawn of the White House this morning. I watched live. From what I could see, Mme. Secretary was the only person to receive a hug from the rather formal and reserved President of China.

Is that a clenched jaw I see on POTUS? I also notice that he and VPOTUS couldn’t bear to watch as Hu greeted Madame Secretary – sad but hilariously funny.
Any pictures of the plastic dress yet?
LikeLike
Hmmmm… he frequently looks like his jaw is clenched now that you mention it.
I just looked at Daylife. The FLOTUS evidently has a very kind press corps that seem to have intentionally photographed her from angles that do not show the dress! (Or even the fact that it hangs about 2″ below the coat.)
Here is the top of the dress.
You can see a little of the bottom here, but not how shiny it was.
More of the photos on Michelle’s grid page are of Hillary than of Michelle. 🙂

I’m sorry..plastic dress? what have I missed?!
LikeLike
Oh, Michelle Obama’s dress – at least the skirt – was shiny like it was made of vinyl. Couldn’t find a photo that did it psychedelic justice.
LikeLike
oh haha. did she pull it off though? i usually love her clothes. she is a beautiful first lady
LikeLike
I thouhgt it was cool. Not exactly “stately” but cool. I think Michelle Obama dresses rather well. I didn’t like most of Hillary’s FLOTUS wear because when it cam time for formal stuff, she always dressed like she was seventy-five or something – neckline at her collar bone and sleeves to her wrists. Yawn.
LikeLike
not always, check out the photos I posted further down! I liked her FLOTUS clothes much better, except for some very bad mishaps!
LikeLike
I’m not a fan of that coat, but nonetheless I think President Hu has fallen to Madame Secretary’s “smart power”.
LikeLike
i’m not a fan of the coat but, i do think her face looks particularly pretty and radiant today.
LikeLike
The coat is growing on me. It seems to keep her very warm, and a warm Hillary is a happy Hillary. 🙂
LikeLike
Well, she also has to stand beside Jill Biden – who always looks great – so it’s not quite fair. It would be easier to overlook the faux fur-lined (it better be faux fur, or Hillary’s going to have animal rights people after her) bag-like coat if she were standing between Gates and Joe Biden. I wish she’d dress up a little for these things. She even wears a pantsuit to a state dinner.
LikeLike
ya i miss when she would wear things other than pantsuits.
cases in point:

When I make that 3rd one visible I can’t control the ginormous size! (That’s why I left the links in.)
That 2nd gown has always been another one of my favs. It’s gorgeous on her and she wore it a lot! I wonder if she’ll wear a gown tonight. It has been exceedingly difficult to ferret out pics of her at these state dinners.
LikeLike
Because she puts on a pantsuit and blends in. Call it Capitol Hill camouflage. If she walked in wearing an amazing gown everyone would be taking pictures because it would make news – Hillary Clinton Wears a Dress! Is it Snowing in Hell Yet?
LikeLike
But she did wear her midnight blue gown for the India State Dinner. She wore slacks and a silk jacket at the Mexico one. Have a feeling she’ll change into her glod/sliver/black striped jacket for tonight. She’s wearing the red one that’s the same style.
LikeLike
I LOVE the second one! If the red one was without the sheer stuff and just a strapless princess cut dress, it would be my ALL TIME fav for Hillary! but she’s not comfortable showing skin
LikeLike
Yes. She’s so young in that picture. Very pretty.
LikeLike
She could’ve been really lovely if she’d have let the designers show her off and relaxed about wearing a strapless gown. She was young enough and slim enough to pull it off back then.
LikeLike
She looks pretty “shown off” in the second picture. What a figure!

I have been hoping it’s faux-fur.

Well, during the live coverage, the cameraman settled on Hillary for bit and she looked gorgeous – the kind that attracts all the attention.
I just watched the toasts at the State Department luncheon. If you put Hillary and Barbra Streisand together and asked a Martian which one is a movie star and which had been a law professor, he would get it wrong.
