Since the outcome of the 2016 presidential race, the Clintons took some time to grieve the loss, but have since picked themselves up, and seem to be doing just fine. Chelsea, in particular, made headlines as there were mumbles that she may join the ranks of her parents and run for office. She quelled those rumors in a video she made with Variety: "I am not running for public office," Clinton said. "I really find this rather hysterical, because I've been asked this question a lot throughout my life, and the answer has never changed."

She emerged boldly from her family's loss in style, making appearances in bright colours and patterns — a shift from her prior outfits, which leaned toward neutral and classic. She grabbed our attention with this look, which she sported at Variety's Power Of Women in April 2017, and hasn't let go. Though she doesn't plan to get into politics, she has already evoked change through a different route — by educating and empowering children.

In May 2017, Clinton published a children's book that is a not-so-subtle nod to her mom (there's a wink to her at the beginning of Chelsea Clinton's book). She Persisted tells the stories of 13 women who faced immense opposition to their big goals, and yet they persisted. "I wrote this book for everyone who's ever wanted to speak up but has been told to quiet down, for everyone who's ever been made to feel less than," said Clinton in a statement.
