Hillary Clinton's Fashion: 65 Looks For 65 Years! (PHOTOS)

There's no denying that 2012 was Hillary Clinton's Year Of Cool. There was the epic photo of the secretary of state fiddling with her Blackberry while wearing sunglasses and the subsequent "Texts from Hillary" meme. Then Hillary upped the ante by participating in the meme itself (she knows what "LOLZ" means!)... then went out partying in Colombia, dancing and taking swigs from a bottle of beer.

And she did it all in style. Hillary, who celebrates her 65th on Friday, has always had a distinct fashion sense, one that both incorporates trends (hello, giant glasses) and stays true to who she is (what up, pantsuits). Even when naysayers diss her scrunchies or critics question her no-makeup look, Hillz sticks to what works: tailored pants, structured jackets, statement jewelry, hair accessories and stunna shades.

In honor of her 65th birthday and her epic year, here are 65 photos of the Hillary Clinton style we know and love.

She is tired; she is looking old (but actually, that is more refreshing than botoxed and fillered faces), and I feel bad for her..BUT: with an aging face, chin, and neck, one should NEVER wear long hair. Her hair used to be beautifully cut and coiffed and she looked great and age appropriate.

I'm a Hillary fan but very disappointed with her hairstyles these past several years. It's an embarrassment! When she wears it in a ponytail, it looks like she just got out of bed & combed it back after not washing it for a week & when she wears it down it still looks flat and greasy; her hairstylist must be a republican, and if Hillary doesn't fire her, and start looking more presidential and more like her 65 years young, she will never have a shot at the presidency!

I 'faved' you, but the partisan remark was unnecessary.

I'm a Hillary fan but very disappointed when I've seen her pictured on tv this past year or so. Her hair looks flat and greasy, and I don't understand why a woman with her kind of money can't find a better hair stylist. Whoever styles her hair is making her look much older than her 65 years young!

I wish I had done a search on this topic way before now. Just exactly what is Hillary Clinton thinking she is achieving, or looks like, with this long scraggly hair she is parading of late? For God's sake woman, you certainly have the brains, so show it in all departments!During your latest international trip to stop a catastrophy between Israel and Hamas, you actually pulled your hair back once and many of us sighed a sigh of relief! What happened to that cute short haircut that was a signature? Friends in Israel actually emailed me and asked why you don't do something about your hair....like I would know. Surely your husband does not compliment you on it. Please, please.....cut it off, like...asap! You look like an oooooold grandma. Not sexy, not chic, no-no.

Thanks for the review on Hillary's style changes throughout he decades as she has grown in both wisdom and in style.

I like whatever she wears, she has an I like it and I don't care what you think kind of attitude. I've developed that with age and it's great. I really do hope she runs in 2016, the Rep will plotz.

[Eileen Carman]

I don't think she will run in 2016. Too bad the Dems did not like her enough to run her in 2008. She would have been our current President and would have repeated this year. She is rather popular.

She is a tiny bit older than I am and I really like the clothes she has worn throughout her life as well.

[shalebrook]

Actually, I have always that that she dresses very manly-not at all feminine. If she would soften her look even slightly she would look less antagonizing and cold. This was-I thought a major problem for her in the 2008 primaries against Obama.

Have you looked at her hair lately? Where is that lovely hair cut she had as First Lady?

Congratulations, Ms. Hillary! And thank you for taking one for the President on this Libya thing. I know Mick Romney and them make it sound like The President supposed to know what is going on around the world, but he trying to run his campaign and keep up with his TV schedule too! Mick Romney do not have all the extra stress. The President is not supposed to know what is going on, he is just supposed to be the President. And Obama have been the best at both, even conservatives know this. Thank you Ms. Hillary for saving our President.

I agree with Hua Yuan Cha.
Madam Secretary is one of the most OUTSTANDING WOMEN of our time.
Smart as a whip and how she keeps up with her schedule is amazing. She
has been making hair changes. traveling to all those different countries
does not make it easy for her and besides "beauty is skin deep" and she is
one hell of a real beauty!

OMG the headbands!! My mom totally rocked that look in the 90s!! She had one in almost every color and tons of prints. Outfits were coordinated based on the headband she wanted to wear. :P Took me back for a moment LOL.

I remember having to do a paper on Hillary way back in high school and just finding out everything she did before she was first lady was so interesting. A very ambitious and focused woman. I always admired that. As an adult, its been just as interesting to watch her progress and challenge herself in her career. Though I haven't agreed with everything she has done as a Senator or Secretary of State, she is an incredible role model who has led one truly intriguing life.

Happy Birthday, Hillz!!
