Hillary Clinton might not have had the best year ever, but she is, undoubtedly, one of the women of the year. She was joined at Glamour's annual Women of the Year Awards last night by her fellow honorees, including, artist Kara Walker, Condoleezza Rice, and Tyra Banks, who was not, incidentally, awarded for being the woman with the most preposterous talk show. Conspicuously absent? One Governor Sarah Palin.

Kerry Washington put on her best ladies-who-lunch dress for a celeb-studded Glamour party yesterday. In case you were looking for an update, Kerry recently did a political-themed fashion spread (or a fashion-themed political spread) for the New York Times Magazine. Also, Naomi Campbell had to pull out of Spike Lee's historical drama, The Miracle at St. Anna, and guess which better-qualified actress has taken her place?

Back to the Glamour luncheon: more pics after the jump.

It is bad that I not only do I hope and pray to look like Iman when I'm 52 years old, but I actually wish I looked like her now? It's appropriate that the most glamorous 50-something in the world attended Glamour's Women of the Year awards last night. Check out some more of the honorees and guests after the jump.

Glamour magazine, arbiter of the dos and don'ts of fashion, recently dispatched an unnamed editor to an NYC law firm to present a slide show to employees about the dos and don'ts of professional dress. The conclusion, according to a write-up in American Lawyer magazine? Black hair is a BIG don't.

First slide up: an African American woman sporting an Afro. A real no-no, announced the 'Glamour' editor to the 40 or so lawyers in the room. As for dreadlocks: How truly dreadful! The style maven said it was 'shocking' that some people still think it 'appropriate' to wear those hairstyles at the office. 'No offense,' she sniffed, but those 'political' hairstyles really have to go.

Luckily, Jezebel reports, a partner at the firm later sent out a memo that basically said the presentation was a big mistake and complete bullshit. But come to think of it, the editor had a bit of a point, you know. Natural hair is really political — like wearing a business suit cut from kente cloth and refusing to allow white devils in the office to speak directly to you.
