Michelle Obama's Style Dream Team
Yahoo ^ | March 10, 2011 | Piper Weiss

Posted on 03/10/2011 5:56:10 PM PST by nascarnation

Over the past few years, Michelle Obama has generated about $2.7 billion for the fashion industry, just by getting dressed. One appearance in a $34 H&M dress, which she wore this month on the Today Show, can make a stock skyrocket, turn an unknown talent into a star, and send millions of shoppers to the mall, even in a sluggish economy. It's the Mrs. O effect, but it's not all the work of one woman. By the time her husband hit the campaign trail, 'Mobama' was already assembling her star team of fashion and beauty experts. But these are not your average red carpet stylists. All have roots in Chicago, and all work together to facilitate the first lady's unique brand of elegant do-it-yourself looks. "She’s the most casual first lady we’ve ever had," says Kate Betts, author of Everyday Icon: Michelle Obama and the Power of Style. "That hasn't changed since she's been in the White House. She's still wearing high-low fashion, floral dresses, and belts like she did on the campaign trial." But after two years on the job, her influence on the fashion industry has solidified and so has her dream team.

It was Carla Bruni Sarkozy and the daugher of the President of Brazil, I believe. The daughter was the one Obama was so conspicuously “caught” ogling on camera. Must’ve been a himbo eruption to tamp down along about then.

I think we are talking the same pic, but I thought it was the Bush girls. I could be wrong.

Of this was a GOP woman then the media would have loved this photo but because it’s M.O who tells us what to eat and how much then it seems fine to hide the hypcorisy

It sounds like its time for someone to explore the connections of Wookie-wear, to the designers/manufacturers.

It might be interesting to find out what contracts the
Wookie has signed, with deferred royalties, to these “fashion” houses to wear their garbage in public.

It’s the Chicago way don’cha know!

How did that ever become fashion?

Wondered same; particularly when Michelle's pants are so tight; that nothing - unfortunately - is left to imagination. And then there are her thigh and boob issues; along with the 'clothes' - 'the clothes'.

But back to 'how'...Can only recall the 'Emperor's New Clothes' and see that while times change; much that makes/takes time - never does.

Obama has his own myth; and Michelle has hers; thanks to the Leftist sychophants and useful idiots. . .who do not change either.

The arm thing so overdone. Pathetic really; her 'stylists' determining that her arms are the only thing she has, worth showing. Big mistake; as big as her the rest of this poor woman; who knew - she was outclassed by 'taste/appearance'. Not a candle to hold; but nonetheless; she won the raves per America's fashionistas.

Such a joke; and a bad one. All to painfully clear; the images Michelle evokes; mostly by her poor choice of clothes. If anyone, of these three; needed long sleeves; it was Michelle. A bag over...no, no; never mind.

Sorry but the Wookie needs more than “5 peeps”. Thing is, we shouldn’t have to pay for even ONE!!

P.S. Are you sure she has an “Athletic trainer” and not an atheltic support(er)?

What has gotten into Hillary lately, she seems to be thinking her hair looks good the longer it gets? She’s starting to resemble a bag lady slash homeless person.
