Looking good: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who turns 65 Friday, speaks to participants of the Clinton Global Initiative meeting on Sept. 24 in New York City.
By Rina Raphael, TODAY
She's a serious, well-respected and beloved U.S. Secretary of State, but that doesn't mean Hillary Clinton doesn't know how to cut loose and hit the dance floor.
Apart from the success and talent, one reason many adore Hillary, who turns 65 Friday, is that she isn't afraid to show her fun, feminine side to the public. She's also a fearless fashion risk-taker, having braved headbands, scrunchies and neon accessories in the last few years.

Hillary Clinton turns 65 today, and to celebrate, we’re taking a look back at her much talked-about style over the years.

Hillary Clinton's Fashion: 65 Looks For 65 Years! (PHOTOS)


There's no denying that 2012 was Hillary Clinton's Year Of Cool. There was the epic photo of the secretary of state fiddling with her Blackberry while wearing sunglasses and the subsequent "Texts from Hillary" meme. Then Hillary upped the ante by participating in the meme itself (she knows what "LOLZ" means!)... then went out partying in Colombia, dancing and taking swigs from a bottle of beer.
And she did it all in style. Hillary, who celebrates her 65th on Friday, has always had a distinct fashion sense, one that both incorporates trends (hello, giant glasses) and stays true to who she is (what up, pantsuits). Even when naysayers diss her scrunchies or critics question her no-makeup look, Hillz sticks to what works: tailored pants, structured jackets, statement jewelry, hair accessories and stunna shades.
