Transformation

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has always been more interested in law than lipstick. "If we ever want to get Bosnia off the front page," she said while First Lady, "all I have to do is change my hair." Indeed, her headbands made the headlines decades before Blair Waldorf's. But now a seasoned diplomat (and soon-to-be Mother of the Bride!), it can be hoped that her policies—not pantsuits—have taken center stage.

As a senior at Maine East High School in Park Ridge, Illinois, Hillary Rodham's hair was very properly coiffed in a conservative flip.
