Hillary Clinton Brings Back The Headband (PHOTOS)

This week, as reports of that Secretary of State position swirled around her, Hillary Clinton reunited with an old friend: her headband. At the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights gala in New York on Wednesday night, Hillary donned a thick gold headpiece, similar to the braided black style she wore frequently as First Lady, particularly during a trip overseas in 1996. Is the senator sending subliminal signals that she's ready to hit the road again...this time as Secretary of State? See the style progression below.

As a woman who wears headbands when I need to (my haircut is much like Hillary's), I hope she "brings them back." Headbands keep you from having to worry about your hair every single minute. I do think she could use a little height in the crown when wearing some headbands, but they help you have a professional appearance without spending hours on your hair. These are no nonsense, and yet feminine. Look you young, thin things. Pantsuits cover a multitude of sins. Supposedly, anyone over a size 2 should wear monochromatic outfits. Pantsuits to a T. If Hillary wants to wear pantsuits, dresses, or suits, fine. I don't care what she packs with her as SOS, as long as she brings her brains along!

Silly me, I don't recall all the "news" articles about Colin Powell's fashion choices.

Oh yeah, that's right. There weren't any.

Zing - we have a winner!

More pointless drivel about appearance and fashion sense that, intentionally or not, trivializes an important female leader.

[strawberryjulius]

who cares.

Not a good look for her at this age. It was fine when she was younger but does nothing for her now.

It matters because it's fun.

Governor David Patterson and Senator Charles Schumer look really happy at the prospect of her leaving.

[RadhaColalurver]

Yeah... I'm sorry. Why does this matter?

[HotLeper]

Are you kidding me? Don't you know that bringing back the headband is symbolic of her kick starting her world domination plans once again!

[SickOfTheCorruption]

Not to sound all superficial or anything because really who cares? But I love the headband on her! I think it looks great!

I like the 2008 headband but it did not work with the outfit. It looked great with her outer wear but not with her suit. I agree that she needs to get back in the skirts. I just wish that Michelle, even Cindy or Sarah, could take her in a Nieman Marcus with $150,000 and work it out. The hips are great too. She just need to learn how to dress them.

I like the head ban look much better than that man hair cut she's been sporting for the last couple of years now. Now if we can get her back in some skirts. Also, I think Hillary's hips are great. Their almost like Black folks, so she and Michelle Obama have something in common, good looking big (but not too big) butts.

I like the 2008 edition, great with the scarf.
