Monica Lewinsky looks almost unrecognisable as she fronts a major fashion campaign more than two decades after she was the victim of a cruel slut-shaming scandal over her affair with Bill Clinton.

Ms Lewinsky’s glamorous modelling debut is part of a move by sustainable fashion house Reformation to urge people to vote in the 2024 US elections.The 50-year-old was chosen as the face of the “You’ve Got the Power” workwear campaign with the brand describing the former White House intern as a personal hero to young women.

It marks a remarkable shift in public appeal for Ms Lewinsky, who was aged 22 when she started the affair with the then 50-year-old US President Clinton.

When details emerged of their relationship, Mr Clinton infamously denied it before admitting to “inappropriate intimate physical contact” with Ms Lewinsky, who is 27 years younger than him.Picked by Reformation for its campaign in partnership with Vote.org represents another move forward, while also raising the profile of the US election in November, which could see Donald Trump return to power.

Pictured wearing a red two-piece linen ensemble from the fashion brand’s Moya collection priced at £298, she appeared on the company website alongside a quote from here which says “voting is using your voice to be heard and it’s the most defining aspect of democracy”.

Words accompanying a photograph of her wearing a black and white Lysander dress, also priced at £298, explain why Reformation has chosen Ms Lewinsky to front its campaign.
