A Capitol Hill Jewel

How adorable is she? This is what cause-celebs should wear when they're on the Hill. All too often we see the Hollywood types, who dress so well on the red carpet, don conservative wares while at the Capitol. Why is that? Why not show up the dull, frumpy Congresswomen and maybe give them some style ideas?

Singer-songwriter Jewel testifies on Capitol Hill before the House Ways and Means subcommittee on income security and family support hearing on disconnected and disadvantaged youth. The Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter is the ambassador to Virgin Unite, a charitable arm of Virgin.
