TOP INSTA LOOK: Hailey Baldwin in a black button-down, high-neck dress with oversized, billowy sleeves and a pleated skirt featuring thigh-high slashes and silver metal hardware detailing.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Channeling the show’s emphasis on portraying strong, powerful women, makeup artist for MAC Cosmetics Diane Kendal created heavy kohl-rimmed eyes, while stylist Anthony Turner for ColorProof Evolved Color Care and Bio Ionic fashioned a series of loose-flowing, ‘70s-inspired rock chick glossy looks.
OFF PROBATION: A V-neck, asymmetrical tiered ruffle midi-dress in white silk, styled under a white fur jacket with royal blue spots and paired with open-toe silver pumps. Think Cruella de Vil’s teen daughter setting off for a night of debauchery at speakeasy Bathtub Gin in Chelsea.
GOOD BEHAVIOR BOND: An asymmetrical tiered ruffle dress with cheeky peekaboo detailing, worn under an oversized chunky blue knit, styled with silver mismatch earrings and white booties.
INSPIRED BY: Feminist ideology and women’s rights book, “My Life on the Road,” by Gloria Steinem.
POP CULTURE-NOD: Chelsea Clinton joining Anna Wintour and Huma Abedin for the launch of “Made For History,” a collection of 15 designers’ casual creations in declaration of support for her mom’s historic presidential bid, marked by a runway show to kick-off New York Fashion Week SS17.
WEAR IT TO: The upcoming Manhattan Young Democrats final presidential debate watch party at Professor Thom’s on 2nd Ave., followed by a debrief with your fellow ‘I’m With Her’ progressive colleagues downstairs at Neuehouse Madison Square.

THE DOCKET: Inspired by the power woman in a year where the United States could select the nation’s first female president in Hillary Clinton, designer Prabal Gurung took advantage of the current political climate to convey his support for Clinton via excerpts from prominent female speeches on a bias-cut silk dress, while a number of blue separates and tiered dresses are sure to cater to those democrats keen to show their support with a subtler flair (no pantsuit required).
