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.

Hillary looks awful these days. Always looks unkempt. She looked best with the short hair. Cannot understand why she thinks she should grow it out.

I think her face and hands look swollen, too.

It's been said that when Hillary cuts her hair, she's running for Pres. again. Guess we'll find out, eh?

That photo is photoshopped! MO was added in. She is wearing the same ugly, wrinkled skirt that she wore when she went to Spain.

Granted, it's an excellent photoshop job, but not real.

that’s one ugly bag
definitely not worth $ 1,000.00
Coach bags are cheaper and at least when they are flashy they are pretty :)

She paid waaaaaay too much for that bag; I wouldn’t pay more than $30 for it.

it shows just how ugle and fat she is though doesn’t it.

We have two beautiful women there, stylish ,elegant etc and then we have fat ass who can’t even find clothes which fit her.

How anyone would ever say she is elegant and stylish is beyond me and IMHO the need their eyes checking unless pushing pure propaganda

Not a fan of either of these women, but honestly Hillary looks as good as, if not better than Moochelle this time!

I like Hill’s hair and what she’s wearing - she did pretty good this time, especially when you compare it to say the orange pantsuit!

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.

I like her hair the way it is in this photo. It softens her look somewhat and makes her appear slightly younger. I also really like her outfit, especially compared with some disasters that she’s worn.

I just commented the other day about how swollen hill’s face looked.

I wonder if she’s on steroids for some ailment.

Busting out of a sweater is a “style secret”?

That’s one secret that SHOULD have been kept under wraps!

This afternoon in Target, I saw a handbag exactly like moo-shell’s for $19.99.

Say, what is wrong with her arms? Ever notice her wrists?

They’re still trying to push the idea of Michelle as fashion guru. Hey Yahoo, it ain’t working!
