Nancy Pelosi. 'Waiting 2 Exhale'.
Dayum. I love this. 
You go girl!
'Beale Street' Director Barry Jenkins Is Crazy In Love With Nancy Pelosi's Ravishing Red Max Mara Coat
snip
In a smile-worthy move, Jenkins had other matters on his mind after Nancy Pelosi’s epic TV performance at the White House Tuesday, when Donald Trump tried to negotiate a budget deal live before the American people. It did not go well for the US president, although Trump’s supporters surely disagree, especially if you like to see Trump constantly interrupting the next Speaker of the House and the most formidable woman in US politics.

“What I love about this coat is what it says about the supposed impotence of fashion,” he tweeted. “From the asymmetrical front to the high collar, the strong yet unstrained shoulder and, of course, that COLOR — a deeply serene yet emphatic & ravishing color. This look kicks soooo much ass.”
Trump’s attire might was surely more like “the greasy wrapper on a Royal Castle Burger; the annoying cellophane on those cheap airline earbuds when you forget yours; a wet napkin.”
snip
Unafraid of blowback from disapproving followers over his limitless support for Pelosi, Jenkins then paid her an ultimate compliment, comparing her to Angela Basset in the 1995 film directed by Forest Whitaker ‘Waiting to Exhale’.
“Ms. Pelosi is shown in full, rhymed with Ms. Basset in WAITING 2 EXHALE. What she wore was so declarative it could not be erased.”
Jenkins concluded his admiration, tweeting this coat is “diplomacy in motion.”

There is no arguing about that!
I've noticed this several times, and she looks great in those colors.
Angela Bassett should have been nominated for an Academy Award for that performance. But back then... black movie + white Academy = 
You see pretty much every major "western" country/ally has been lead by women, either currently or at some point in the past... except here.
At least now we have over 100 women in congress for the first time so they will definitely have the chance to get more visibility and show everyone what they got!
