Hillary Clinton’s Millennial Pink Heel & The Art Of Power Dressing – Konbini US

It seems that Hillary Clinton is following in her nephew's footsteps as a model. The former presidential candidate has been spotted modeling a pair of pink heels from pop superstar Katy Perry's new shoeline.

According to the Katy Perry Collection website, the shoe Clinton is wearing is a suede pump with a 3.5-inch heel with sparkling stars and moons inside.The heel aptly named 'The Hillary' comes in a seafoam green, and a trendy millennial pink which Clinton can be seen graciously modeling on Instagram.

The shoe is definitely fitting for a strong lady like Clinton who reached for the stars last year during her presidential campaign. Although the outcome didn't quite turn out as expected, Clinton set a precedent for future women to continue breaking through the 'glass ceiling.'

It should come to no surprise that Clinton chose to wear Perry's heel considering the two women actually have a pretty solid relationship. Not only do the duo share the same birthday, but the singerendorsed the former presidential candidate during her campaign.

Clinton is really well-known for her fabulous array of pantsuits, all in different colors. What many may not know is that Clinton's sense of style is a statement pink heels and all.

Clinton' wardrobe falls under a specific fashion style born in the late 70s known aspower dressing. The style helps empower women to establish their authority in professional and political settings that are normally dominated by men.

Former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, was one of the first women to incorporate a black "power suit" in order to present a professional, yet commanding persona. Claiming that her style was "never flashy, just appropriate," Thatcher was at the forefront of the style that forced mento take women in the workforce seriously.

Since then, the style has gone through different stages of evolution. Women like Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton are considered to be new faces of the fashion style since they incorporated dresses, gowns, and most importantly, bright colors.

During an interview withTelegraph, Nina McLemore, the designer behind Clinton's pantsuits explained that Clinton's wardrobe is inspired by the power dressing style.

McLemore is a firm believer that someone's confidence level can be linked to their appearance and sense of style. She said:

"Women from a very early stage in their careers need to think about dressing to succeed. Dressing in a way that the people in power see you as someone who is serious about her career and wants to be sitting at that top table.

It means the clothes you wear also can send that message of 'Im a positive person which is much more challenging for men in grey suits to project, short of resorting to a novelty tie."

The colors of Clinton's pantsuits also play a strong role in the powerful image she projects. McLemore, the designer behind Clinton's pantsuits explained why she chooses such vibrant colors. She said:

"Color can change your attractiveness entirely and how people see you. What a woman wants is skin that has a pink touch to it, not grey or yellow which is what black does.

I've given many talks to law and accounting firms. I walk in and 70-80% of the people are in black, so of course they don't stand out."

While Clinton's pantsuits help project a powerful and professional image, the pink heels are the icing on the cake.

The millennial pink shoethat Perry describes as a "Power Pump," has not only been trending for quite some time, but it also pushes the definition of power dressing.

Millennial pink first showed up in 2012 as a toned-down, pastel Barbie Pink. The term was coined in 2016 since the color was beginning to overtake the closets of many millennial women.

Since then, the colorhas been seen in different ad campaigns, makeup, and hairstyles.

Pink is often seen as a feminine color (although that wasn't always the case). By wearing and promoting this particular color and shoe, both Perry and Clinton two powerful women in their respective careers are essentially giving femininity some amazing girl power.

This is further supported by Perry'sown personal hyper-feminine and tongue-in-cheek style which inspired her entire show collection. When someone puts on one of her shoes, Perry wants them to feel just as frilly yetempowered as she does when she dresses up.

According to the website:

"Katy Perry's vision, eye for detail and cheeky spirit give her footwear collection a distinct personality. Inspired by Katy's travels, humor and extraordinary imagination, the footwear reflect her whimsical approach towards life."
