The History Behind the Caftan
Now, you might be thinking, "Isn't a caftan just beachwear?" But here's the thing—this flowing dress has royal roots in some cultures. Think of it as the "Queen Hillary" look. The caftan originally started as a formal garment worn as a dress coat. Back in the 1950s, fashion legends like Dior and Balenciaga introduced caftans into their evening-wear collections. Then, in the 1970s, American hippie culture embraced the caftan because of its connection to Moroccan traditions. One of its most iconic moments came in 1975 when Elizabeth Taylor wore one at her second wedding to Richard Burton.

A New Side of Hillary?
We've definitely seen Hillary in dresses before, especially during her time as First Lady attending glamorous events alongside President Bill Clinton. But let's face it—it's been a while since we've seen her without her signature pantsuit. Is this floaty, fun version of Hillary something we can get behind? Well, the jury's still out on that one. One thing's for sure, though—she seems happy, and that's what matters most.
