Another whimsical notion from the unflinching Daily Mail, this time regarding the frock Lady M chose for last nights state dinner honoring Singapore:
We're going to file this one under: BREATHTAKING.
Michelle Obama stole the show at this evening's state dinner wearing a strapless gown that folded over at the neckline and cinched in her waist before it elegantly fell to the floor with its splendid statement cape.
Would we expect anything less from the First Lady of Style? [ed.I couldnt have put it better myself]
[ed. Does anyone other than me think this folded over at the neckline look is a bit derivative of Mary Tyler Moores costume in Change of Habit?]
In typical Michelle Obama fashion, she chose an up and coming designer for this evening's stunning custom-made look by Brandon Maxwell. With a penchant for dramatic silhouettes,
pleating,
and exquisite tailoring,
Maxwell has made a name for himself in the fashion world by creating some (of) Lady Gaga's most memorable costumes and red-carpet ensembles.
Oh yes, trust me; it could have been much worse.
From Lady Gaga to FLOTUS in 7 short years: amazing!
And the Butani diamond earrings looked nice with the dramatic smokey eye and pink lips.
Im sure Singapore was impressed.
man in a dress
“dramatic silhouette”?
On Audrey Hepburn maybe.
She must have been drunk when she put them on.
Honestly, what a mash-up.
Hip Cape ?
She wouldn’t look so “industrial-sized” if she ate the same meals she’s been foisting upon school kids these past eight years.
WINNER! WINNER! CHICKEN DINNER! and some steaks and shrimp on the side!
She’s trying to pass herself off as American Standard.
That dress makes her look pregnant.
That picture wins the Internet for a week. :)
Thanks!
Ah, dead, you do not disappoint! Thanks for the laugh.
