Monica Lewinsky Embraces Fashion
Lewinsky has shown a greater interest in fashion in recent years, and in February 2024, at age 50, she starred in Reformation’s “You’ve Got the Power” campaign ahead of the 2024 election in the United States. Yes, it was for politics, but the photos, taken by photographer Zoey Grossman, showed her in a stunning Reformation workwear collection in collaboration with Vote.org, People reports.
In the photos, Lewinsky poses in several outfits, including a leather trench coat, a patterned maxi dress and boots, and a striking red two-piece top and skirt. She discussed her thoughts around the campaign in an Instagram post in December 2024. She referred to it as “so far outside my comfort zone… and def the highlight of my year,” and thanked all those involved in making it a reality.
After a long absence from the public eye, Lewinsky has been embracing the limelight once again. In February 2025, she gave fans a rare insight into her life when she sat down with Alex Cooper for her “Call Her Daddy” podcast. In the interview, she spoke about reclaiming her name and sharing her story.
