Clinton was referencing the Donna Karan dress with shoulder cutouts she wore to a state dinner in 1993, but she could as well have been speaking about this to-the-collarbone Peter Copping creation at Oscar de la Renta. She’d just need to swap the midi skirt for a sensible trouser to make this ensemble right for her more formal affairs.
