Another ‘powerful Washington women’ list — but with clothes

Elle magazine has come out with a list of powerful Washington women, and Elle being Elle, the list includes that question we secretly think when looking at power players like lobbyist Heather Podesta — what is she wearing? (Alexander McQueen and Prada, in Podesta’s case.)

The bipartisan selection of lady movers and shakers reveals that Republican strategist Jennifer Hing wears Nanette Lepore suits for their “feminine details;” lobbyist Juleanna Glover favors 3.1 Phillip Lim; and entrepreneur Sheila Johnson likes Washington mainstay Donna Karan. As for Christiane Amanpour’s signature safari jacket, the journalist explains that “it was just easy to pack, easy to look presentable.”
