5 Women I'd Love to Make Over

Am I out of line to suggest that the Secretary of State could use a wardrobe makeover? Absolutely. Does she? You betcha. I'd make Barbra Streisand lose the granny glasses, Adrienne Maloof ditch the '80s duds, Hillary Clinton toss the headbands and pantsuits, Helena Bonham Carter find something that doesn't look like she stole it from a 19th century movie set and I'd even help Melinda Gates (Bill's wife) dress like the rich lady she is. These are the 5 famous women I'd makeover if I could...

5. Hillary Clinton

Please don't bombard me with emails about how Hillary Clinton has better things to worry about than fashion: I already know this (huge Hillary fan.) But 99% of her boxy pantsuits need to be trashed. Not only are the cuts awful (they hit her at her hips, which is her heaviest part) they come in heinous colors like head-to-toe blue (who dresses like that anymore?!) And the headbands need to go. Don't worry: I wouldn't put her in over-the-knee boots and hair feathers, but something chic would be divine (I'd love Hil in a white tux since she loves pantsuits.)  The answer to her pantsuit dilemma? I'd think longer jackets (more like a ¾ length) which end at a small part of her leg (the knee) would be more flattering.  And bow blouses, ruffled collars, bib necklaces, more volume in her hair: these would all draw the eye up to her face and be more flattering.
