First lady, Michelle Obama is hands-down the most stylish first lady since The Kennedys. She has brought so much elegance and class to the office of the first lady and solidifies herself as not only a beauty with brains, but also a fashion icon who is all about Girl power.
.
Michelle Obama will also go down in history as perhaps the most adept and successful practitioner of the art of political speech that any administration the world has seen.
Her choice of an Atelier Versace gown for her last State dinner as first lady is giving us life. Wearing a Versace dress was not only a nice bit of sartorial diplomacy ---Versace being an Italian success story, a company often touted by as a candidate for public offering, ---but coming less than a week after her magnetic speech in New Hampshire on women and respect, it went far beyond simply an ambassadorial nod to a guest country's talent and made a powerful subliminal statement.
The dress after all was made of rose gold..chain mail. As much as it was gracefully cut and draped, it also spoke of armor and female strength. of the need to gird yourself to fight for what you believe in. It was designed by Donatella Versace, who last month described her recent women's collection as
.... “all about a woman’s freedom: freedom of movement, freedom of activity, freedom to fight for their ideas, freedom to be whomever you want to be.”
See more after the jump!!!
Damnnn! I love me some Michelle Obama.....and we will definitely miss her and her beautiful family in the White House!!!
