The Bridal Party

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton exemplifies perfect Mother-of-the-Bride style (here flanked by new son-in law Marc Mezvinsky, along with daughter Chelsea, and husband Bill Clinton).

The rich mulberry hue of her Oscar de la Renta gown is both strong and subtle so she stands out as her station demands, but doesn't steal focus from her daughter. The color is a great complement for her skin tone, and the shawl collar with petite dip for a feminine décolleté softens the neckline and is ideal for the endless headshot photos to come. Her hair, which has often been the butt of jokes including her own, is clean and coiffed into a simple modern bob with a windblown look (held perfectly in place with product no doubt). 

Father-of-the-Bride former president Bill Clinton looks so classic in this sleek and simple suit/tux, it could be any season and any era.
