I'm full of admiration for New York City's new first lady because she looks so cool and wears a lot of vintage – young and modern and also entirely herself.

I have so many thoughts about this. I think the most powerful message that our current first lady sent was in the coat that said, 'I Really Don't Care. Do U?' when she was going to see migrant children who were incarcerated.

All dress is about expressing yourself, but we're also subject to larger historical and political sweeps of expectation.

I'm stunned at how women in power have to have bare arms on television while men are covered in shirts and ties or a suit.

Meryl Streep, Actress

There's an apology built into women. They have to show their smallness. It's compensatory: The advancements of women in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of this one have been destabilizing.

Meryl Streep, Actress

It's as if women have to say, 'I'm little. I can't walk in these shoes. I can't run. I'm bare, not threatening.'
