Hillary Clinton’s caftan steals the show at WH state dinner for Japan: See pic

Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton recently attended the White House state dinner for Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko Kishida.
The former US state secretary wore a flowing purple and pink caftan with gold details, accessorised with delicate jewellery. This wasn’t the first time the former first lady was seen wearing a caftan. She previously wore one to the 2022 Venice Film Festival.
Taking to Instagram, Hillary wrote, “Bill and I were thrilled to join President Biden and the First Lady in welcoming Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Mrs. Yuko Kishida, and other allies and friends last night at the administration’s state dinner for Japan. Cherry blossoms everywhere!”

Dr. Jill Biden, the present first lady, sported a glittering Oscar de la Renta gown from the fall 2024 collection, featuring a sapphire ombré art nouveau crystal-embroidered dress with a cascading purple hue on the bodice.
The colour scheme of Hillary’s caftan matched that of Dr. Biden’s gown, as well as the purple gown worn by Yuko Kishida, the wife of the Japanese Prime Minister.
Lauren Sanchez’s burgundy Rasario gown from the 2024 resort collection, which combined two types of lace with lightweight satin to create a sculpted figure with corset inserts, was one of the evening’s other standout fashion moments.
