Senator Hillary Clinton has snubbed Vogue magazine after allegedly deciding that she did not want to appear too feminine.

According to WWD, Clinton was set to appear in US Vogue during the presedential race but she backed out as she feared she would appear too alluring to the public.

A Vogue spokesperson said: "We were told by Ms. Clinton's camp that they were concerned if Clinton appeared in Vogue that she would appear too feminine."

Notorious editor of US Vogue, Anna Wintour, was of course not best pleased by the snub. In February's edition of Vogue, her editor's letter stated: "The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying."

Ms Clinton has appeared in US Vogue a total of six times, the first time being a cover in December 1998 where she was the First Lady to do so.
