Hillary Clinton was discussing the high cost of college, but some eyes were trained on the low cut of her neckline. Under the senator’s pink blazer sat a black top that revealed a modicum of cleavage and caught the eye of Washington Post fashion editor Robin Givhan, who finds even the subtle expression of sexuality and femininity “startling.”

Givhan traces Clinton’s last foray into va-va-voom fashion to her husband’s first term, when she donned a shoulder-revealing Donna Karan gown. After a long break, Clinton has once again embraced fashion on the campaign trail. Even though showing cleavage signals a woman’s confidence, Givhan compares it to “catching a man with his fly unzipped.” (More Hillary Clinton stories.)
