Hillary Clinton Glams It Up At The Waldorf

Talking policy last Friday at Georgetown, she was all business in tweed with playfully polka-dotted,  pink-accented trim.  Last night at two events at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, Hillary Clinton,  beautifully attired in evening wear,  graced two formal events.

At a dinner hosted by the World Jewish Congress, she presented Elie and Marion Wiesel with the organization's Theodor Herzl Award.   Here she is with the Wiesels and Ronald S. Lauder, President of the World Jewish Congress.

She also attended the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute 2013 Gold Medal Gala where she and Antonio Banderas were honored by her majesty.  We see her with the queen, Oscar de la Renta, and fellow honoree, Banderas.   Both ladies looked absolutely stunning in shades of navy and midnight blue brocades.

Hillary Clinton to present WJC award to Elie and Marion Wiesel

NEW YORK – Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will present the World Jewish Congress’ Theodor Herzl Award to the Nobel Peace laureate and writer Elie Wiesel and his wife, Marion, a noted humanitarian, at a dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York on November 19, 2013.
“I can think of no more fitting couple for this honor than Elie and Marion Wiesel, who have dedicated their lives to promoting peace and understanding and the security of the Jewish people and the State of Israel,” said WJC President Ronald S. Lauder. “The Wiesels are a Jewish and world treasure who live and breathe Herzl’s ideals. Their contribution to the understanding of the Holocaust and to combatting intolerance and injustice worldwide is incalculable.”
A special highlight of the award program will be the performance by violinist Itzhak Perlman in commemoration of the 75th anniversary this month of Kristallnacht, the Nazis’ 1938 national pogrom against the Jews, known in English as the “Night of Broken Glass.”
