I like her natural look. She looks athletic. But - what is that outfit?!

Some of you have been upset she hasn’t worn a blazer. So here she is in a blazer and a blouse. What’s wrong with it?

I am honestly a little surprised and would have expected dark suits that would not have stood out in any way. I actually appreciate the relative boldness and nod to style.

To the folks here insisting that she’s blond: are you POC by any chance? I have a brunette friend whose hair is light brown who was called blond a lot when she lived in India. Maybe it’s a thing similar to how many white people have trouble judging Asian and Black women's ages.

No, I agree with you, I’m surprised she hasn’t worked with a voice coach to pitch her voice down a bit. It’s a sad fact thanks to centuries of equating authority with maleness that people tend to accord more respect to women whose voices are lower or less markedly “girlish.”

I suspect Hillary Clinton did this — if you listen to early interviews with her, when she was only being interviewed because she was the wifey, her voice had a higher pitch; she deliberately lowered her “speech giving” and “public” voice to a lower and richer pitch as she became a political figure in her own right.

This could be it. I am a POC, and don't understand on what planet she is a brunette. Bleached blonde? No, but she's definitely dirty blonde to me. Kind of mousy, maybe blonde-ish light brown, but a brunette?! Definitely not.

Perspective may color (no pun intended) things, and for a white woman I guess maybe some consider her to have brown her? But to an ethnic person... nope.

I really liked the dresses she wore yesterday and to the super spreader Rose Garden event. They aren’t the kind of clothing I need for my lifestyle but for professional, tasteful dresses they were very nice and fit her well. If Ivanka dressed like that it would be a miracle. They kind of remind me of the Hobbs of London dresses.

Women are women’s own worst enemies.
