Laura is positively radiant. Those workouts she now does with her personal trainer are transforming her body and it is begining to show in the fit of her clothes. Selecting the wardrobe for each of these trips must be a tremendous task. Its fun watching her style expand and adapt with the demands of her schedule. Her shoes are still practical and flattering to her legs but they are becoming more fashionable.

The neckline of that white suit frames her face beautifully and is very photogentic. She looks great in the dark green (?) (or black ?) evening suit. The side walking split in that one suit is both attractive and practical but the pleat or peplum detail on the jacket back seems a little problematic. She sparkles in the turquoise gown, that color looks fabulous on her. I like the high neck and long sleeves in lace but I wish she had chosen a different neckline for the underlayer. A strapless would have been a knockout. She and the President were dazzling and so glamourous looking at that formal dinner in Turkey .

Yes, the workouts are beginning to show, but I also think either she has a new designer or she has asserted herself on some of the creations. No bows, better necklines, etc.

The turquoise is a great color on her.

What a wonderful group of pictures, Truthie! I know this took you a huge amount of time, and I really appreciate it...especially the shot of PM Blair and President Bush shaking hands and knowing they kept their word and accomplished something great for the world.
