It has been about 1 week since our new President has been inaugurated, in honor of the occasion we have to look back at the fashion hits and misses throughout all of the festivties in Washington D.C.
- Aretha Franklin wore a hat inspired by Blossom the hit 90’s tv show. We thought the Queen of Soul would let her voice speak for itself but instead the hat distracted us all from her performance. People who were 2 miles down the National Mall could see Aretha Franklin’s hat!
- Poet Elizabeth Alexander was not intimidated by the historical significance of the event, she just came as herself. The audience had a limited view of her attire, we could see a white pea coat and floppy hairstyle.
- We saw Michelle Obama in a coordinating lime green dress and jacket, it was “so-so”, not her best color.
- We did notice Vice President Biden’s suit jacket was “form fitting”, which is not flattering on his body type. Hopefully with his new job he will spring for a new wardrobe of suits.
- Neighborhood Ball- Michelle Obama disappointed us all with her unflattering Jason Wu gown. We’re hoping that a good stylist connects with our new first lady quickly for a makeover.
Overall, we have nothing negative to report as far as President Obama’s wardrobe, he appears to look “as stylish as one can look in a suit”. His children were absolutely darling and dressed to the nines throughout the festivities. We look forward to seeing fashion inspired by the first family in the future.
