It looks like all of my guesses were wrong! Michelle Obama wows us again with a glamorously bold one-shouldered Jason Wu in white with beautiful detailing and the flow of a Goddess. Once again, she wows us with an unexpected choice of designer. The Tawainese-American emerging designer is known for his impeccable construction, gorgeous femininity and designs for the modern beautiful woman. He combines contemporary charm but still keeps in line with lady like classicism. The color is safe, but the detailing all over the dress adds sartorial ambition - it's very red carpet.The one-strap showcases her shoulders well and the dress is decent.
All in all, I appreciate the choices that Michelle has made with her wardrobe today. If tons and tons of fashionistas had us guessing for months about what she was going to wear, then she is obviously a fashion icon. Her outfits today are just a taste of what's to come. I guess she did bring back glam to the White House! She definitely knows her fashion!
What do you think of her choice of dress? If you didn't dig this gown what dress (click here to see the sketches) would you have liked to see her in?
Comments
Once again a HORRIBLE choice - it looks like a teen prom dress. Staci & Clinton PLEASE come to her aid - she needs help
What would've you liked to see her in?
I think this gown is hideous. It looks like shredded toilet paper or gauze and the shape doesnt flatter her figure at all. I would have rather seen her in one of the dresses sketched by DVF, Isaac Mizrahi or Zac Posen.
BIG disappointment. It looks like a rag and is totally unflattering to her figure. Washed out color. I was expecting something so much more Chic and vibrant. She's so tall and graceful I wanted something to show off that gorgeous figure, something that looked luxurious and expensively haute couture. This was a whashed out rag that looked snagged and frayed. Sorry Michelle, Love you, hated the dress.
I loved the dress myself. I have known Jason Wu from his beginnings and he is a great designer. He's a young designer with an impeccable taste.
Michelle Obama choosing that particular dress says a lot. She knows fashion and out of all of the designs, she chose this one. Great choice Lady M.
Way to go Jason. I can truly say, I knew you when.
please let her be!
Mrs. O has great style it is simple yet beautiful gown
