She's known for making tough decisions, but top US diplomat Hillary Clinton has divulged that she is still trying to decide what to wear to daughter Chelsea's wedding later this year.

"Well, if you don't tell anybody... we're still looking," the secretary of state told CNN's State of the Union talkshow.

"I don't have a dress yet, no, and Chelsea doesn't either. But we're working on it," Clinton added.

Chelsea Clinton, 29, announced her engagement to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky in an email to friends in November.

"We wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving! We also wanted to share that we are engaged!" she wrote.

"I'd probably call it a draw about now," she laughed.
