Michelle Obama’s Most Fabulous Fashion Moments
By Ani Bundel
Michelle favored this silhouette heavily in the early Obama years, and wore several variations of the very structured one shoulder gown at State Dinners. Here she is in a Peter Soronen variation for the 2010 Mexican State Dinner, with Mexican First Lady Margarita Zavala. (That’s President Felipe Calderon’s arm on the right hand side.)
For her second pass at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2010, she wore a rocket red Prabal Gurung sheath.
Meanwhile, she made waves at the 2010 State of the Union speech by wearing another designer who became a household name through such programs as Project Runway: All Stars, as well as his willingness to design for the Target customer, Isaac Mizrahi.
Over at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Phoenix Awards dinner, which is held every September (and the Obamas always make a point of attending), she wore another Michael Kors, this time from his evening wear collection.
For our final 2010 entry, here she is in the first of many Tracey Reese designs, greeting the women who is the de facto head of the European Union, German Chancellor, Andrea Merkel.
