Lewinsky50, is the face of the campaign encouraging women to vote.
The American writer – who is synonymous with Clinton — was featured in Elle’s Style Points section in a series of eye-catching photos.
The glamorous photos received many positive comments, saying she looked “fabulous” during the photoshoot.
One user wrote: “Monica Lewinsky fucking killed it in this Reformation campaign.”
Another added: “I admire Monica Lewinsky – at a very young age she endured unthinkable adversity and the uncontrollable media… as she grew older she made many of us change the way we think about things and behave see how to respond to setbacks.”
A third replied: “Monica Lewinsky before the Reformation is so good. The leather trench??? Jesus be a paycheck.”
Now an activist, Lewinsky first made headlines in the 1990s when she became embroiled in a… sex scandal with Clinton.
She got a job as a White House intern in 1995 – and her affair with the then-president began when she was just 22 and he was 49.
It lasted 18 months and was kept hidden until a phone conversation she had with a colleague Linda Tripp was leaked in January 1998.
Lewinsky she claimed had sexual encounters with the married president nine times, until March 1997.
She later claimed in an explosive documentary that she deliberately exposed her underwear during an Oval Office bash to get laid Clinton‘s attention.
The ex-president admitted to the relationship months later in August.
He apologized for what he called “a critical error of judgment and personal failure on my part, for which I am solely and fully responsible.”
Clinton was impeached in 1998 but later acquitted of all charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.
Since the scandal broke, Lewinsky has tried to reinvent himself a number of times.
In September 1999 she became a handbag designer with accessories bearing her name.
In April the following year, she became a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig, Inc, while in March 2002 she appeared in the HBO special Monica in Black and White, part of the America Undercover series.
She then moved abroad and in January 2007 graduated from the London School of Economics with a Master of Science degree.
Her first public interview in more than a decade was in 2014, in a three-part television special for the National Geographic Channel entitled The 90s: The Last Great Decade.
At this point, Lewinsky gradually began to become an advocate for victims of bullying.
