LouieNumber One on the Vanity Fair Best Dressed List is Michelle Obama
August 1st 2008 02:56
The 69th Annual Vanity Fair Best Dressed List
Michelle Obama - The Comfortable Victor
Not a vote has been lodged, not a booth opened yet, but still First Lady in waiting Michelle Obama has managed to top the 69th Annual Vanity Fair Best Dress List. Saturated in media attention ever since her husband announced his intention to run for president of the United States, at 44 Michelle has become a style icon.
Happy to play the game with her husband
According to the Vanityfair.com she won for notable ensembles from 2008 like the Maria Pinto purple sheath, with a black Azzedine Alaïa belt, worn when her husband claimed the Democratic presidential nomination; Donna Ricco black-and-white print dress on The View.
The Natural Look
Fashion has always played a superficial role in the likability of potential and current residents of the White House. In the new millennium public image extends to wardrobe choice and the competition like Mrs McCain opted for more traditional conservative clothes that failed to light up fashionistas eyes.
The LATimes said: “McCain’s style is like the political style of her husband: conservative and outdated. It screams 'safety’ and escapes any nod to change, to risk, or to bravado. She may throw on a tailored leather jacket every once again, but through her pearls and all that hairspray, can we really detect any semblance of inspiration? Of fun?
“Obama, on the other hand, gets it. She IS a modern woman, she has fun with fashion, she embraces life with fury and grace - making apparel choices so varied, that time and again signal this woman never sees anything in life as constant. That’s change. And that is the essence of what fashion is all about”
Regardless of the results of the next election this accolade will keep Mrs Obama in front of the flashbulbs for the years to come. Her profile has grown to almost match her husbands and it can only benefit her work with various charities and causes.
