Last night the First Lady attended Christmas in Washington, a Christmas concert featuring a number of prominent artists including Mary J. Blige, Neil Diamond, Sugarland, Rob Thomas, and Usher.
Mrs. Obama wore a simple and elegant black v-neck dress with a full skirt. Mrs. O informs us that it is the work of Isabel Toledo.
The President and First Lady returned from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo Norway on Friday afternoon. For the trip back, Mrs. Obama wore a black and camel dress and matching jacket with tall, brown-leather boots. Mrs. O informs us that the outfit was designed by Narciso Rodriguez and was originally worn during the “We Are One” concert, which was part of the inauguration festivities in January.
My apologies for only getting these images to you now. I was attending a conference late last week and am visiting family for the holidays, so I haven’t had the time to keep as up to date with this blog as I would like.
This is the first in a series of posts on the First Lady’s trip to Oslo, Norway. As you likely already know, President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize a few months ago. Consequently, the President and First Lady traveled to Oslo, Norway to participate in the Nobel festivities.
Here we see the President and First Lady leaving the White House for Andrews Air Force Base. The First Lady is looking good in her black peacoat and red scarf. Of course, as good as they look, neither of them look too happy. I’m not sure what the story is here…
I realize I’m a little late with this, but on October 3, Michelle and Barack celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary. The First Lady looks quite elegant in her Resort 2008 Narciso Rodriguez knee-length black halter dress and Jimmy Choo Lantern heels. The First Lady is also sporting a bangle bracelet and striking blue clutch. Thanks to Mrs. O for the wardrobe specifics.
The White House often releases photos long after an event has actually taken place, so here are a couple of the First Lady from the 9/11 ceremony at the Pentagon. While the First Lady looks stunning as usual, it seems inappropriate to go into detail on her attire for such an event.
The First Lady returned from Copenhagen yesterday after lobbying for Chicago’s in the race for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. While the city may not have come out on top, the First Lady’s fashion certainly did. Here we see Michelle in a beautiful knee-length black and white checkered dress with a high neckline and cinched at the waist. with a black belt. Below are a couple more photos of the First Lady in this great dress.
Oprah tries to keep dry on her way to the International Olympic Committee Opening Ceremony where she will help First Lady Michelle Obama lobby members of the International Olympic Committee in support of Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.
Oprah is wearing a black silk blouse with ruffled collar and black skirt. She compliments it with a pair of peek toe gold pumps, dangling gold earrings, and a charcoal gray scarf.
Unfortunately, I don’t yet have any photos of Michelle in Copenhagen to post. However, I was able to find a video of her arrival. As you can see, the First Lady is wearing a patterned jacket with matching dress underneath. The design of the jacket/dress combination creates an interesting effect, as they are nearly identical, except that the jacket’s pattern uses circles and the dress’ pattern uses squares. The jacket is drawn in at the waist by a black belt tied in a bow and the entire ensemble is complimented by silver heels and simple stud earrings.
While the First Lady certainly looks nice, this isn’t my favorite combination on her. Mrs. Obama is a very sleek looking woman, and I find the patterns to be a bit too busy.
I’ll follow up with photos when I can get my hands on some, but in the meantime, you can also watch the short statement that the First Lady gave to the press after arriving.
