Belle of the Ball in Bali: Hillary Rocks the Silk!


It appears to be customary at ASEAN Summits for participants to dress in traditional local attire for the gala dinners.  Hillary Clinton wears these styles particularly well. 

You may remember this lovely jacket from the July2009 gathering in Phuket, Thailand.  She looked simply stunning!




On October 29, 2010 she flew in from Guam for the opening dinner in Hanoi a gorgeous golden girl.




Just when you thought it could not possibly get any better, she showed up at this evening's gala looking simply radiant in this red print.






Mrs. Natalegawa does not seem to mind that Marty enjoys his bilaterals with her.

Things have been very serious around here for the past few days,  so a Keatsian celebration of how pretty she is seems a good way to begin the weekend.  How appropriate that the person who announced The New Silk Road wears silk so well!

Safe home, Mme. Secretary, and,  if you stop in Guam to refuel, give Derick a hug and kiss.  He will be thrilled!
