Vogue editor Anna Wintour has not only praised pantsuit-loving Hillary Clinton’s fashion choices, but also rallied behind her possible 2016 presidential run.
The endorsement occurred during last night’s opening of the Oscar de la Renta retrospective in Little Rock, Ark.
Wintour praised de la Renta and his work with first ladies and Clinton for her work over the years, most recently as Secretary of State.
“She always looked entirely appropriate wherever she was and nearly always in Oscar,” Wintour said.
Wintour drew applause from the crowd when she mentioned the former First Lady as a potential presidential candidate in 2016.
“It’s anyone’s guess what the next chapter will be for this extraordinary woman,” Wintour said. “I can only hope that all of you here in Little Rock will be celebrating her come November 2016.”
Clinton calls herself a “pantsuit aficionado” on her Twitter bio. Last night she was joined by daughter Chelsea and husband Bill to honor de la Renta.
The iconic teal, silk pantsuit she wore when she was sworn in as a senator was displayed at the exhibit. A placard nearby read, “Pantsuits designed by Oscar de la Renta are perhaps Hillary Clinton’s most famous sartorial statement.”
