The former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate wore a golden yellow blouse with plissé fabric detailing on the bodice paired with one of her classic black pantsuits and black heels.

Clinton is a known strong supporter of American designers. On the 2016 campaign trail, she regularly wore Ralph Lauren pantsuits, including a beige and camel pantsuit when she cast her vote for president on Nov. 8, 2016. She also wore a black and purple Ralph Lauren pantsuit for her concession speech on Nov. 9, 2016.

Last September, Clinton headed to Venice to attend the DVF Awards hosted by fashion designer Diane Von Furstenburg. It marked the first time the awards were held in Venice and the 13th edition of the annual event.

Clinton was among the evening’s honorees, wearing a multicolored loose-fitting dress for the occasion. She attended the ceremony on behalf of Vital Voices Global Partnership, an organization she founded in 1997 with a mission to invest, connect and amplify women leaders.
