Women’s Wear Daily asked designers like Badgley Mischka, Monique Lhuillier, Marc Jacobs, and Betsey Johnson what first lady Michelle Obama should wear on Inauguration Day. A few sketches:
See the rest here.
I’m really feeling the Badgley Mischka and Tracy Reese designs! What about you?
SMH at Betsey Johnson. She’s making our girl look like a Black Fraggle. Boo.
Claire, i love that u’re on France time, bc I get all ur new posts as I’m at work! Yes!
I agree w anonymous. I can’t stand that Betsey Johnson dress. I’m not even surprised about it. The killer is, she made the drawing look like a black Betsey Johnson. Her stuff is too out there for me.
I really like all the others tho. The other dresses on WWD were really nice too, especially the DVF suit. Hotness.
I like the DVF.
I like the Tracy Reese, DVF & Badgley Mishka dresses.
I like the DVF and the Monique Lhuillier dresses.
I don’t really like ANY of the dresses. There just all so XTRA. Michelle’s style is classic chic. She does not wear frilly Euro-clothes. She’s a tall, thick black woman from the South-Side of Chicago. People please.
The Lhuillier speaks to Michelle’s style sensibility. It’s elegant, yet has a few fun, flirty elements that give a nod to Mrs. Obama’s sense of humor. And that color would be absolutely amazing on her.
I love Betsey’s fun spirit, but Lord if that dress wouldn’t make Michelle look like a tag sale doll. Definitely not what the first lady should be wearing, even though I think I know what inspired the irreverent design.
If she wears that red white and blue I might have to just smack her. I think the Badgley and Tracey Reese are the top two. Badgley being number 1. She has to look sharp.
I like the Badgley Mischka and Oscar de la Renta.
OH DVF-hands down! So chic.
DVF, hands down. Very classic. But then I also like Oscar de La Renta.
i like the dvf and the yellow one next to the purple one. they’re all gorgeous but some are a tad too fancy i think
xxo
Paprika-skinned sketches for Michelle Obama…
…who’d have thunk it?
Loving the Badgley Mischka, Monique Lhuillier dresses. Betsey Johnson..BOO.
I like the Monique Lhuillier dress and DVF. Everything actually looks great to me I think many of us forget and may not think about the fact that these are sketches. Thus, details will be modified once on a dress form. Tracy Reese’s sketches are not going as hard as I think they should this go around.
Badgley Mischka is my favorite one
love the monique lhuillier and the badgley mischka! either one of those would be stunning and perfect fr such a momentous occasion. betsey got it wrong, wrong, wrong
oscar’s dress is great. I can see her in that, and the sketch itself, looked like art.
Badgley Mischka is my pick
What does any of these have to do with MO? Not one remotely resemble MO! I have not been able to lie to myself that I can honestly say MO can carry any fashion in any sense! MO need to make over with her face especially her eye brow, she look MEAN!
