The minute Bill Clinton began his speech at the Democratic National Convention, all I wanted to do was Google vintage photos of young Hillary Rodham Clinton wearing "flowery skirts, big glasses, and no makeup." Listen, I acknowledge that Hillary Clinton is breaking the glass ceiling in the most major way possible in modern history (hello, Mrs. President!). And she should be known for a hell of a lot more than her looks. My feminist spirit is ignited every time I hear about the ways she has helped people throughout her career. But that doesn't mean we all can't enjoy the guilty pleasure of looking at these #ThrowbackThursday photos of her classic beauty style.
During my research on Hillary's hair and makeup choices, I discovered that she definitely wore makeup — specifically those beautiful brick-red shades of the '90s — and has an affinity for bangs. Her luscious brown eyebrows, which pop against her golden-hued mane, combat those of Cara Delevingne. It's also fun to get a glimpse of Bill Clinton's handsome jawline in his younger years.
Whether you're with her or not, you can't deny that these vintage images of Hillary prove that she is a beautiful woman inside and out.
