ETCETERIST: Besides Michelle Obama, something else magical happened in the world of style last week during the Inauguration and America now has a new sweetheart, Jill Biden — 57 and fabulous. Everyone wants her look. But can they have it? Should they have it? And what exactly is her look, from your perspective, Dr. Pat?

PATRICIA WEXLER: I think it all happened for her on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" when she said what she said about her husband having the choice of either the vice presidency or Secretary of State. Instead of Joe Biden getting angry or uptight, it was one of those endearing “Lucy” moments, you know, a kind of comic scolding like Ricky would give Lucy when she was too out there.

ETC: And now, all across the worldwide web, she can do no wrong and she has replaced, I don’t know — Doris Day — in the blonde icon firmament.

PW: First of all, in case anyone is wondering, I do not think Jill Biden is cosmetically enhancing. What you are seeing is a very fit woman. To me, she looks like she has lost about ten to 15 pounds during the campaign. I mean, I know much younger women avoid wearing anything sleeveless, but there was Jill Biden in sleeveless Reem Acra on Inauguration night, showing a very fit arm. The essence of her look, and the specifics, is that hers is the natural look. Instead of up and fixed, her hair is a soft blonde, worn loose to the shoulders, beautifully cut and shaped to be proportionate with her body, her height, her face and her coloring.

ETC: Natural — you mean natural color and no makeup?

PW: No, I mean natural colors, natural shade. Rather than being dramatic, like a Chanel makeup look in one of their ads, hers is natural, more Bobbi Brown. A Chanel look would be alabaster skin, a prominent cheek, a dark lip, a contoured eye — very sophisticated, very city. That’s a wonderful look, too, but it isn’t Jill Biden’s look. Hers is a blended look; the natural look is a blended look. A soft eye, a moist rather than matte foundation that compliments the color of her skin, and a lip gloss instead of a strong lipstick. And it is all blended, seemingly natural.

ETC: So whether blonde or brunette, to get the Jill Biden look, think blended, not separated? I detect some political symbolism here Dr. Pat.

PW: Natural, not theatrical. Whether it is your face, your body, or your clothes.

ETC: And what about the brow?

PW: Very important. I think like Michelle Obama seems to have done, reshaping her brow from being sharp to making it softer, for a friendlier less severe look, so too has Jill Biden reshaped her brow. Nothing changes your expression more than the right brow. You can do it with Botox, or you can do it by shaping and using pencil. That is what, it looks to me, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden have both done — and they have gotten great results. They look fabulous. Natural. Youthful.
