Tim Gunn had some harsh words for Hillary Clinton today, asking the question that's been on every fashionista's mind: "Why must she dress that way?"
"I think she's confused about her gender [with] all these big, baggy, menswear tailored pantsuits," Gunn said in a recent interview on Lopez Tonight. Ever-classy Lopez then asked Gunn how Clinton might hide her cankles, to which he responded, "Well, if her pants didn't stop an inch above her ankle, she could hide the cankle!"
Perhaps in response to Gunn's criticisms (though we hope she's more concerned with, oh, you know, world politics), Clinton appeared in a very ladylike pink suit and pearls today at the Norweigan Embassy. But back when she was a Senator, Clinton did raise some eyebrows with a low cut shirt.
Gunn, who has commended President Obama's fashion choices in the past, did say, "I have a great respect for her intellect and her tenacity and for what she does for our country in her governmental role. I just wish she could send a stronger message about American fashion."
