Hillary Clinton Breaks Out The Scrunchie (PHOTOS, POLL)

Forget the Monaco royal wedding. Skip Kate Moss' nuptials. Delete the mental image of Duchess Catherine's maple-leafed hat from your head.

This is the biggest style news story of the day.

Hillary Clinton stepped out in Madrid, Spain wearing a scrunchie.

We've previously chronicled the Secretary of State's follicle fashions -- the ups, the downs, the headbands, the hair clips -- but this might take the coiffure cake.

I love scrunchies, they don't break your hair off; but they're definitely an around-the-house, at-the-gym or go-to-the-supermarket kind of thing. And now they make them smaller and less obtrusive, less of a 'feature' than they were in the 80's. This one is not really working for me. She should have just left her hair loose, cut it nice and short or gotten a nice simple barrette to pull her hair back in.

Over all though, Hillary's looking very good!

Can we turn this off now? It's been running for 4 days. Surely a Kardashian has done something sleazy or stupid you can report on.

I'd rather have an intelligent woman of substance with a scrunchy rather than a fashionable airhead. You'd have Sarah Palin running the country would you? WOULD'T YOU!

Who cares. Scrunchies work and don't damage long hair. They aren't as obtrusive as some of those peacock ridiculous hats those Brits wear. Scrunchies will be back in vogue someday.

" Hilary is a real woman and does a real job..." What does that statement mean? By all appearances she is enjoying state dinners and Michelle has spoken to her about this in her effort to fight obesity.

The close-up photo is a great shot. She looks good with her hair pulled back .. as long as it's with something besides a scrunchy.

Hillary Clinton is a woman of substance. She's just never really been about the style.

I agree. She has a tough job and should be as comfortable as she can be while traveling the world. Leave her alone and let her do her job.
