☆ Hillary Clinton offers her sympathies to Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig after their 'Barbie' snubs: 'You're both so much more than Kenough'

Hillary Clinton reacted to Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie getting snubbed at the 2024 Oscar nominations. Gerwig and Robbie weren't nominated for best director and best actress for "Barbie." "Greta & Margot," Clinton wrote in a text post on both X and Instagram, set against a bright-pink background. AdvertisementAnd to refresh on what went down eight long years ago in the 2016 American presidential election, Clinton won the popular vote by a a few million over Republican candidate Donald Trump. However, Trump won 30 states (plus a bonus district in Maine, which splits its electoral votes), meaning that he won 306 electoral votes in comparison to Clinton's 232.

Kylie Jenner is a known favorite, too, choosing a Spring-Summer 2023 look to wear during Paris Fashion Week last September; as well as posing in custom pieces for her 399 million Instagram followers. It’s as simple as that,” Findikoglu told CNN during an interview outside her east London studio on the first day of London fashion week. While 31-year-old American designer Michael Halpern — who has received two British Fashion Awards in his career — announced just last week that not only would his label be skipping London Fashion Week, but that it plans to close for good. Findikoglu believes more financial help should be available to all brands on the London fashion week schedule.

About half of Aldo's Barbie collection sold out in the first week. So far, the Barbie merchandise is "selling incredibly well" and appealing to customers across generations, said Frank Berman, the department store's chief marketing officer. Gap has sold out of some of its popular Barbie items, including rectangular pink sunglasses.
