Everyone is buzzing about the dress Michelle Obama wore to the National Governors’ Dinner a couple of nights ago. The designer is unconfirmed, but it looks a hell of a lot like a Jenny Packham to me. A little overly girly, but I love how much glamour Michelle Obama brings to the White House.
She’s better than Carla Bruni, Kate Middleton, and Charlene Wittstock put together, and I’m proud she’s our First Lady.
I wish I had the energy or knowledge to do this myself, but the Fug Girls put together a slide show of potential Oscar dresses for Sunday night’s red carpet.
I don’t necessarily agree with their choices—they like patterns far, far more than I do—but it’s fun to click through. I love the blog in general, because they get like EVERY dress from every awards show, even the obscure ones, and they’re also very funny.
My prediction? At least two bitches are gonna be stepping out in Rodarte. We’ll see a Jenny Packham, because Catherine Duchess of Cambridge loves her, and also, her dresses are pretty. Prada has a big retrospective coming up at the MET, so someone fashion forward might have their finger on that pulse. Someone will do McQueen because they didn’t get the memo that he was so last year (unfortunately, because I love him). And we’ll see so many mermaid hems that I’ll fall asleep.
I’ll be live blogging the red carpet, so get ready for it!
I want to hate, but Kate Middleton looks…um, kind of amazing in this Jenny Packham dress. Die.
To look at pictures of her style evolution and subsequent starvation (if you haven’t seen the pictures of it 800,000 time already), then click here.
