First Lady Fashion


Okay, so we all remember the RNC/Sarah Palin Fashion Scandal, well now everyone is attacking Michelle Obama's wardrobe. Critics have been complaining since 8 pm PST last night about the dress she wore for Barack's acceptance speech in Grant Park, and honestly, I just want to tell them all to shove it.


Michelle Obama - our future First Lady - was wearing a dress from Narciso Rodriguez's Spring 2009 collection, tweaked for the occasion, and paired with a black cardigan. Although I would never wear it, this is a gorgeous dress. Below is The Dress from Rodriguez's Spring 2009 runway (as photographed by Getty Images):


The general coordination of the First Family's wardrobe, including (if not featuring) The Dress, provides a beautiful continuity and sense of order. Framed by the American flags in the background, the first family is both elegant and exciting.
