This is from Mrs O (again):
Mrs. O lunched with Washington D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, his wife Michelle, and Jill Biden this afternoon at Georgia Brown’s, a D.C. restaurant known for its traditional Southern classics.
Our ever stylish First Lady was dressed in a medley of blues, including a stunning portrait collar overcoat in light blue herringbone tweed. Underneath she wore a cornflower blue dress with an asymmetrical draped neckline, paired with a blue green cardigan and royal blue patent leather belt to cinch her waist. The Huffington Post has a great slideshow of photos here.
As “doreen” has observed in the comments, this look is another stand-out example of Mrs. O’s masterful wardrobe remixing. We saw the same belt and cardigan as part of a more dressed down look as Mrs. O volunteered for the National Day of Service. Her shoes, we believe, are the same Jimmy Choo “Glacier” pumps she wore on Inauguration Day.
Jimmy Choo pumps aside, this remains quite the mystery look. An afternoon of research did not reveal the designer. Any tips (anonymous or otherwise) would be most appreciated.
UPDATE: A source reveals that this ensemble was the work of Mrs. O’s hometown designer, Maria Pinto. In fact, we’ve confirmed that the coat is J. Crew! Further, we’ve now confirmed that Mrs. O wore Maria Pinto’s Ella Dress, hand-made from Prussian cashmere. The dress is part of Maria Pinto’s Fall 2009 collection.
I don’t even know what to say, LOL.
The spin machine is working overtime. “a medley of colors” LOL. That’s one way to put it!
I keep thinking of the TV show Ugly Betty.
You’ve got to be kidding...we have a website dedicated to MO worship!!! And the ridiculous gushing!!
Shall we start a companion site—Mrs. Zero? You know we are a far more witty and intelligent bunch!
