First Lady of glamour: Fashion industry pays tribute to Michelle Obama with top style award

By MAIL FOREIGN SERVICE 16th June 2009

It's official: Michelle Obama really is the First Lady of fashion - and now she has the award to prove it.

The 45-year-old received the honour gong last night over top industry favourites at The Council of Fashion Designers of America's annual awards.

Noting her 'meteoric rise as a fashion icon,' CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg said Obama had 'a unique look that balances the duality of her lives' in her roles as adviser to her husband, President Barack Obama, and mother to their two daughters.

Oh, please! Is this what the world wastes newspaper on? Is it any wonder this “profession” is circling the frigging drain?

[Dallas59]

LOL! Is she a brain surgeon too?

This is nuts. Michelle is not glamorous. Looks like fashion will be getting a bit campy over the next 3.4 years. Jackie B. she ain't.

Seriously, have these people ever seen “Planet of the Apes”?

They have GOT to be kidding!! This woman is a fashion disaster. Right down to mis-buttoning of her cardigan in London. The picture I saw today showed her in madras shorts and an ugly top that didn’t go with the shorts. The whole world's Media seems to be sucking up to both Obamas. Disgusting.

I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right thar.

Did anyone see the picture Yahoo had on its site today? Of Michelle walking the dog.......woooheeee....what a fashion plate.../s

Really, this shows the utter depths of obsequious adoration the MSM has stooped to, to say nothing of the entertainment industry. These folks would make Nevada’s whores look respectable.

Noting her 'meteoric rise as a fashion icon,'

Because of White Guilt propaganda.

Yea, her humugas ass is something that excites the fashion world. How do they justify their fall fashions … slim is in … with her largeness?

Good grief!!!

She looks good in 3 of the pics, but the one walking the dog, the one walking with Mrs. Brown (black and white, blue sweater and ever present belt) are just awful-frumpy and accenting her hips.

I do not mean to run her down, but she is NOT a fashion icon.

Sarah Palin can't take a bad pic; not so Michelle.

Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller have both gone off the deep end. Don't think they are still together (maybe they are), too bad they could have kept it in the family.

I mentioned this on another thread, but the whole Michelle as beauty icon thing reminds of when Tori Spelling was cast on “Beverly Hills 90210” because her Dad was the producer, even though her horse-face was clearly out of place with the other hot girls.

Here's Michelle at the ceremony accepting her totally unbaised fashinonista award.
