Sorry Vogue, Hillary Clinton's Wedding Caftan A Best Dressed Look - But We Disagree

On Sunday evening, Hillary Clinton attended the wedding between two prominent Jewish families wearing a long, flowing blue caftan.

Was the dress fun? Yes. Was it fashionable? Not really.

Hence my shock that this glorified muumuu made Vogue’s best-dressed of the week list.

We get it, Vogue loves Hillary. We love her too. But this dress, a shapeless smock that sooner conjures comparisons to a haimish shabbos robe for Friday nights in a Catskills bungalow colony than an appropriate white-tie wedding outfit, is not a “Best-Dressed” look.

Huma Abedin, in her embroidered Needle and Thread frock, is better suited for that list. Jennifer Lopez, in a sexy cleavage-baring column gown, is better suited for that list.

But this caftan, the kind of dress you use as a cover-up while on vacation in Capri, is not worthy of the best-dressed mention.

My colleague, Jenny Singer, described her dress as “a turquoise version of Gandalf the White emerging purified from the fiery battle with the balrog.”

That is a pretty accurate description of it. It was bold, it was dramatic. She looked happy, glowing even.

But it was also kind of schlubby, like something your eccentric bubby would wear to do some old-lady salsa dancing as a resident of the local nursing home. Again, not something you would call a “best-dressed look.”

Get it together, Vogue.

my mom’s old nighty! Hillary probably has Kleenex in the pockets, too.

Seriously, a flowing caftan, and it still shows her pee bag or diaper???

Maybe she does need a Burka.

She always ends up next to the biggest boobs at the party. I bet she wants to unsquish these.

Did you hear that Hillary needs a colostomy, but won’t get one?
She can’t find any shoes to match the bag...

Lol. Her closet is full of single shoes. Each time the SS have to heave her into the van, they pop like corks off those cankles.

On another thread, someone aptly described it as “hospital gown style”.

No surprise, it’s clearly too casual for the occasion and reflects disrespect for the couple getting married. (”I’m famous, aren’t you lucky I’m here?) She may have realized too late that nothing proper in her closet fit.
Vogue, in turn, is disrespecting its readers by swooning over this out-of-place mumu.
