Rather than donning her [classic pantsuit](http://motto.time.com/4431032/dnc-hillary-clinton-white-pantsuit-meaning/), Clinton told the world she was back in action while wearing a leather jacket and floral shirt. Clinton’s pantsuits became her trademark look, often wearing specific [colored pieces](http://motto.time.com/4565384/hillary-clinton-purple-pantsuit/) with [historical significance](http://motto.time.com/4561290/hillary-clinton-wear-white-to-vote/) behind them. Critics often focused on her clothing and [accessory choices](http://motto.time.com/4376385/hillary-clinton-designer-bag/), but this ensemble shocked — and pleased — her supporters. While she spoke at the [Professional BusinessWomen of California](http://pbwc.org/) annual conference about being “thrilled to be out of the woods” and continuing to fight “for a fairer, big-hearted, inclusive America,” the Internet couldn’t get past Clinton’s outfit du jour. People took to Twitter to comment on her new look. > [](https://twitter.com/CiCiAdams%5F/status/847045954184327168) > [](https://twitter.com/franklyh91/status/847068182355628032) > [](https://twitter.com/avajennette/status/847088641889521665) > [](https://twitter.com/C%5FJill%5FRun/status/846887299082268673) > [](https://twitter.com/tudorqueenAB/status/846939298817622016) > [](https://twitter.com/southsidesass/status/847098990399295488) > [](https://twitter.com/MissMillennial/status/846893702995861505) Hillary Clinton Leather Jacket Memes ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4716671/hillary-clinton-leather-jacket-reactions/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4716671/hillary-clinton-leather-jacket-reactions/"},"headline":"No One on the Internet Can Handle Hillary Clinton in This Leather Jacket","datePublished":"2017-03-29T16:49:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:42:22.449Z","description":"She looked \"extra ready to lead the rebellion\"","url":"https://time.com/4716671/hillary-clinton-leather-jacket-reactions/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","viral","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7116b574d53d6a7e/6988c065196cf48ced03f6ee/hillary-clinton-leather-jacket.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7116b574d53d6a7e/6988c065196cf48ced03f6ee/hillary-clinton-leather-jacket.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hillary Clinton Addresses Professional Business Women Of California Conf.","caption":"Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivers a keynote address during the 28th Annual Professional Business Women of California conference on March 28, 2017 in San Francisco, Calif.","creditText":"Justin Sullivan—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4716671/hillary-clinton-leather-jacket-reactions/","name":"No One on the Internet Can Handle Hillary Clinton in This Leather Jacket"}}]}] ```
