Michelle Obama, Sweet Fashion Sense to Win

Picture of Michelle Obama on fashion New first lady Michelle Obama is a young, stylish, beautiful and successful corporate attorney from humble south-side-of-Chicago beginnings. The Democratic hopeful says she runs their life with a “general’s efficiency” and constantly reminds him he is a mere mortal whose snoring drives her crazy. She gives him hell for dropping his dirty socks on the bedroom floor and failing to put the rubbish out.
The pretty 44-year-old seems too good to be true. She is feisty, opinionated and - aside from a couple of sarcastic comments about her husband’s smelly breath when he wakes up - has yet to put a foot wrong.

While it’s not often that Michelle Obama and Barbara Bush appear in the same sentence, there are those who think that, as Barack Obama’s historic candidacy powers along, his wife seems to be borrowing from the playbook of the wife of Bush 41 and mother of Bush 43. Michelle Obama’s fashion sensibility also figures prominently in a Sunday commentary by the Washington Post’s Robin Givhan (a Pulitzer Prize winner who caused a stir last summer with a controversial column on Hillary Clinton).
That’s the startling conclusion of the NYT “Fashion & Style” section, which took a break from covering Paultards and Survivalists this week to favorably compare the wife of America’s first black to win a presidential nomination with the white-haired old crone who cackled in glee when the blacks were flooded out of New Orleans.

The night Barack Obama made his speech as the first African American to top a major party’s ticket, she was wearing a violet sheath with a wide black belt and matching shoes with heels that hard-liners would call impractical but that Carrie Bradshaw would use for jogging. Michelle Obama accessorized her dress with her signature strand of Wilma Flintstone pearls.
The most notable aspect of her dress was that it was sleeveless. In the preposterously narrowly defined sartorial world of first ladyness, this means something other than it is June and thus, warm.

Though Michelle Obama isn’t running for office, we couldn’t help but notice she’s got some serious style that definitely brings to mind Jackie Kennedy’s fierceness. Unlikely as it seems, Michelle Obama, the corporate lawyer with a big education, a bigger resume and a history of high earnings, can sometimes appear to be tempering her own strong personality with a modernized version of another era’s ladylike clothes.
When she fist-bumped Barack on Tuesday (a moment which made me think these two probably have a vibrant sex life and frankly also made me salivate a little), I was like, “Damn, is she wearing a studded belt?”
The belt Michelle Obama wore was another signature accessory, something Vanity Fair noted when adding her last year to its International Best-Dressed List. “That Azzedine Alaïa belt that she wore 15-plus months ago signified to me that this woman had an independent and strong and distinct fashion sense,” said Amy Fine Collins, a special correspondent at Vanity Fair and a guardian of the 68-year-old list.

Asked why people should vote for him, Michelle said: “I’ve got a loud mouth. I tease my husband. He’s incredibly smart and he is very able to deal with a strong woman, which is one of the reasons why he can be president. Because he can deal with me!”
Former Clinton aide and Obama pal Avis LaVelle says: “Every high-flying kite needs somebody with their feet on the ground and that’s Michelle. She’s smart, successful and popular.”
There have been no ex-lovers or former friends coming out of the woodwork to slate her. Rumours that an audio tape of Michelle making racial comments about “whiteys” have come to nothing.
