I just love this picture, Hils in her stunning red coat, so obviously capturing the admiring attention of her male colleagues in their conservative suits.

It's not just a cool composition, but it really underlines the unfortunate paucity of women on the international stage. If Hils weren't there, it would be just another picture of Important White Guys in Neckties.
