Hillary Clinton on the red carpet at the 2022 Venice Film Festival

Hillary Clinton surprised the crowd at Wednesday’s 2022 Venice Film Festival with her cameo on the red carpet.

The former first lady and secretary of state, wearing a powdery blue jacket instead of the signature trousers and textured flat-heels, attended the opening ceremony of the Italian festival, which included the world premiere of Noah Baumbach’s new film “White Noise”. “.

The 74-year-old politician added to her beaded, subtly dotted outfit a pair of translucent bracelets, silver earrings and a sparkling necklace that reads “Jasper” – the name of her and husband’s youngest grandson Bill Clinton.

The last time she made it to the red carpet at the Met 2022 gala in May, wearing an Altuzarra gown embroidered with the names of cross-border women including Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Madeline Albright, Lady Bird Johnson and more.

Fans of the former presidential candidate were delighted to see her in Venice.

“Queen Hillary is living her best life by owning the Red Carpet at the Venice Film Festival,” one tweetedwhile another he was joking“Caftan Hillary Clinton is my favorite Hillary.”

Others he seemed confused see Clinton at an entertainment event with one Twitter user kidding“There is Hillary Clinton reporting Venice for Indiewire.”

Some have speculated that Clinton was there to support Netflix, producer of both “White Noise” and the upcoming documentary of Clinton and her daughter Chelsea, “In Her Hands” – but a Netflix representative said The Hollywood Reporter Clinton’s appearance was irrelevant.

“Hillary attended the festival during the opening night. Not our job, but of course we are working with her on “In Her Hands” which will premiere on TIFF and Netflix on November 16, “they said.

In addition to promoting “In Her Hands” in Toronto, both Chelsea and Hillary will be speaking at the festival in support of their Apple TV + documentaries, “Gutsy” – so we can expect more red carpet styling from both Clintons.
