DENVER (CBS) ― Michelle Obama's big speech at the Democratic convention Monday night was being anticipated not just for what she'd say -- but for what she'd wear.
The would-be first lady's fashion flair is already grabbing attention -- she's being closely watched as a possible budding fashion icon -- and most observers the outfit she selected for the big event clicked.
Among those whose keen eyes were trained on Michelle is Laura Schwartz, a former adviser to the wife of former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, Teresa Heinz Kerry. Schwartz also worked in the Clinton White House.
In the convention hall Tuesday, Schwartz told Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith Michelle "succeeded. (She did) exactly what she was going for, because today, we're talking about the message more than just the overall bling."
Schwartz was guessing Michelle would wear a dress, despite talk she'd wear a suit. "She looks fabulous in dresses," Schwartz explained, "and you know she's going to wear something she looks great in, that she feels confident in. And that's what we saw. And she pulled it off very, very well."

She reminds me of Jackie Kennedy... (SWOON)
Jackie wore European designers
Plus...in a fashion “contest”, Cindy McCain wns hands down!
this is the essence of today’s Dem party. What did she wear. Did she look hot? Did he say nothing, but say it beautifully? Did we haul Ted Kennedy up and create an unassailable victim hero? Please.
The convention so far looks like a production of Alice in Wonderland. Complete with acid trip.
American idol, hollywood mentality on parade
Well, that’s it. I’m voting for Obama as many times as I can.
...the hospital that doesn't take poor black welfare patients.
Riiiiiiiiiiight.
Rush was saying they were making her over, and they did.
But you can’t fix stupid.
I’ve got in idea, a sort of bridge-the-generation-gap thing: How about Barrack and Michelle get to do a reality show about being the President and First Lady (with those darling kids, just like Russell Simmons and that wacky diva wife of his!) — and McCain gets to be the real president and, you know, like protect us from people who want to kill us and end our way of life and stuff.
“Michelle Obama’s big speech at the Democratic convention Monday night was being anticipated not just for what she’d say — but for what she’d wear.”
You’ve come a long way, baby. And this is from a SeeBS affiliate.
I think that Michelle was wearing the K-Mart blue light special.
She betrayed all the NOW cows. Pant suits are the symbol of power over men. Who wears the pants in the family? If men wore kilts, women would wear kilt suits, If men wore barrels, women would wear barrow suits.
He musta been breaking wind in that photo.
With that skin tight outfit, I would suggest she hang a lantern from that caboose!
