On a day when Hillary Clinton was battered by stories surrounding her reliance on a private email account during her four-year tenure at the State Department, the former secretary of state managed to completely avoid the controversy du jour.
But at a Tuesday night event, she did weigh in on another important issue: the infamous white and gold/ blue and black dress that recently took social media by storm.
Now, I want to answer one question right at the start before it stirs up . People have read a lot of different things into my pantsuits, Clinton quipped. Despite what you might think, this outfit is not actually white and gold.
Speaking to one of the friendliest possible audiences -- at an event sponsored by the pro-Democrat, pro-women PAC Emilys List -- the likely 2016 presidential candidate vowed to beat this drum as long and as loud as it takes to pass policies like paid family leave and equal pay for women.
Weve heard Republicans try to sing out of the same hymnal, talking about income inequality its like watching the end of Casablanca, Clinton lamented.
The former First Lady, who admitted she was still kind of in the grandmother glow following the birth of her granddaughter, Charlotte, addressed 2016 speculation only indirectly:
Along lifes way, you get the chance to make millions of decisions. Some of them are big, like, do you run for office? she said, to tumultuous applause.
Others are even bigger, she continued, like the ones that Gabby Giffords and her husband, Mark, confronted, like, what do you do when a murderer attacks you and you survive?
(Former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., who took a bullet to the head during a 2011 shooting in Tucson, was in attendance.)

NEW YORK - As Hillary Clinton prepares to launch her presidential campaign as early as next month, the Democratic frontrunner isn't getting a free pass from the media.
In recent weeks, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and The New York Times have all published potentially damaging stories on Clinton, challenging assumptions heard within conservative media and on Fox News that journalists will go easy on the 2016 Democratic frontrunner.
Conservatives are unlikely to renounce long-running claims of liberal media bias just yet, and it remains to be seen if such aggressive coverage of Clinton continues in the event that she's head-to-head with a Republican nominee in the fall of 2016. But the recent spate of newspaper stories, raising ethical and legal questions surrounding the Clinton foundation and Clinton's tenure as secretary of state, certainly don't look like a media coronation.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Feb. 17 that the Clinton Foundation, which Hillary Clinton joined after leaving the State Department, had dropped its ban on accepting foreign donations. Such a decision could fuel perceptions that foreign governments donating to the Clinton Foundation maybe gain influence in a future Clinton administration.
The Post raised more questions last week after reporting how the foundation had accepted millions of dollars from seven foreign governments during Clintons four years leading the State Department. The Post reported how a $500,000 donation from the Algerian government had violated an ethics agreement between the foundation and Obama administration.
Reporters have pressed for answers about the donations, and on Monday, the State Department walked back an earlier suggestion that its lawyers had signed off on the foreign contributions during Clintons tenure. On Monday, Politico reported that there are no indications any Clinton Foundation donations were ever sent to the State Department for approval.
That night, The New York Times dropped a bombshell story that would appear atop Tuesdays front page.
The Times' Michael Schmidt reported that Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, and in doing so, may have violated federal requirements that officials correspondence be retained as part of the agencys record.
While government officials have used personal email accounts in the past, along with their government email, the Times revealed that Clinton never even had a government email address in her four years as secretary of state. Her aides took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act, Schmidt wrote.

She calls on the State Department to release her emails.

After two days of silence, Hillary Clinton weighed in on the controversy surrounding her use of a personal email address during her tenure as secretary of state late on Wednesday night, saying she had asked the State Department to release her emails.
I want the public to see my email, she tweeted after spending the night at a gala for her familys foundation. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.
Clinton has in recent days faced serious scrutiny for her use of personal email accounts for State Department business, which was first revealed by the New York Times. Republicans have piled on, accusing Clinton of wanting to hide her communications while her allies insist her email use followed federal government rules.

The former first lady and senator did not address the swirling questions at a gala in Washington on Tuesday, despite the hopes of some of her allies as the news made headlines and led cable news segments. Wednesdays late-night tweet, which came at 11:35 p.m. Eastern time, was her first public remark on the topic.
The State Department will review for public release the emails provided by Secretary Clinton to the Department, using a normal process that guides such releases, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf emailed reporters shortly after Clintons tweet. We will undertake this review as quickly as possible; given the sheer volume of the document set, this review will take some time to complete.
