Naeem Khan has dressed Beyonce, Alicia Keys and Katherine Heigl, but it appears to have taken First Lady Michelle Obama, who wore his custom-made strapless silver-and-cream gown to a state dinner Tuesday night, to make him a household name. (If Khan gets a smidgen of the press that Jason Wu and Isabel Toledo got for designing Obama's Inauguration Day ensembles. we'll be thrilled for him.)

Khan, an Indian-born designer who shows at New York Fashion Week, consistently turns out jaw-droppingly gorgeous eveningwear, though he has been branching out in recent seasons. His signatures are ethnic embroideries, dazzling colors, and bold embellishments, like this stunner worn by Keys to the BET Honors last year.

Khan says the gown took 40 people three weeks to complete at the designer's family workshop in India.

I think this is the best she’s ever looked! I like to see the first lady of this country look good, even if I abhor her personal choices in politics and husbands.

So who paid for these 40 workers, plus the designer’s expense account and material and (eviil) profit?

If this is worth “something” - then we must see it on the Zero’s campaign receipts - if done personally, right?

True: “IF” we had a free press, we’d be out of danger.

It is the propaganda, the liberal socialist propaganda and spoken and pushed - not opposed! - by the so-called independent press corpse, that is so dangerous. And they celebrate their attacks (between themselves and in public), on America, Christianity, capitalism, freedom, and our lives!

It is the designer, not the PM of India. Naeem is an Arabic name. There are other Naeem Khans that are convicted terrorists and Canadian Taleban supporters. Is it possible that O was dissing the PM?

Michelle wearing best dress evah’ and saving or creating TM 40 jobs in a family workshop = fantastic

Private corporations buying multi million dollar biz-jets that employs thousands of well paid professionals full time year after year = bad
