In doing so, she laid bare the sexist double standards of style - for she herself was scrutinized endlessly for every outfit she wore.
"People take pictures of the shoes I wear, the bracelets, the necklace - they didn't comment that for eight years he wore the same tux, same shoes," she said to thunderous applause from the audience at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in California, USA.
