The coolest couple in World Politics have landed (with their huge entourage of security men planes and cars,Cadillac One included!). No Sarkozy and Carla Bruni are not the coolest couple in world politics they are just a little strange.While I would love to try and write about Obama's visit and all the things he`s said and how awesome he is (which he is) and what relevant and important things he said, I won`t. Well cos I can`t. I`ll probably end up agreeing with everything he says because I might not know any better plus he is a damn good orator!
What I Can do is talk about what Michelle Obama wore through out the trip : )
I have always loved Michelle Obama`s style.
This has become somewhat of an iconic dress, at the inauguration of Obama's term as President.
Loving the Pearls
She has quite an umm unusual figure. I would say she has an athletic built but she wears very feminine things so that works out well for her. Also cos she`s so damn tall she sticks to kitten heel, which I am not a big fan of. But I totally understand, she cant wear pumps and be taller than her husband! I am not being sexist here.Im just sayin' (Carla Bruni is taller than he husband heels or no heels! )

She landed in Mumbai wearing this grey dress with pearl buttons,
some say it resembled a kurti. I dont know why there is an obsession in us Indians to turn everything to resemble something Desi. Its really not the case always you know. I mean its just a dress.
I wish I could get my hands on some better pictures of this look of hers cos that pearl necklace is to die for. |
This is the First Lady interacting with volunteers and underprivileged children at Making A Difference in Mumbai.
I don`t particularly like this look. The top seems to be clashing with the skirt. The skirt and the top could work separately. I do like her brooch though.

This was a very Chanel-Jacki O dress which was sweet and simple. I love that she busted some moves! Just shows how fun she is. There are videos everywhere of her dancing and they are so sweet! Even Obama shook a leg : )
Can you imagine George Bush doing that when he had come to India? Ha!
In The Capital! |
At a Dinner hosted for the Obama`s, Michelle wore a Naem Khan creation and it looked absolutely amazing. I really like the jacket, it has the Indian touch (which was so in demand apparently) without overdoing it.
This is at Humayun`s Tomb. I really like the colour of her dress and the contrast between the sweater and dress can be seen in the picture below. But maybe the hemline could be a little higher.
Also why does it look so crumpled? Did they not have an iron in the amazing Five Star Hotel Room they were staying at?
Maybe it was because of the time restraint. Anyway it just shows that no one is perfect. Not even the First Lady Of The United States!

I absolutely Love this picture. These two are so affectionate without being in your face! |
This is what she wore at Rajghat. I am loving the colour of the skirt. It reminds me of a peacock and I have been obsessed with peacock colours forever. I dont know whats going on with her hair though. Why has it been all gelled up. She has a really cute bob. I don`t know why she`s decided to wear her hair up. Looks a little off.
She loves chunky jewellery (see pearl necklace,brooch etc) So she picked up this from the Handicrafts museum in Delhi. I was watching the news and they were saying she spent about two hours there and reportedly ran out of money!
Showing her silly side.
She clearly chose dresses which would suit the traditional Indian style so she doesn`t offend any one or any party which was very sensible and diplomatic of her. She didn`t wear many flashy colours so she doesnt attract too much attention ( but of course she did, she`s Michelle Obama for gods sake! )
But I read many designers saying that she should`ve worn a sari. Why? Why should she wear a sari? Just beacuse she`s in India? And how can a person totally alien to the concept of a sari ( she may have seen pictures and know about it a little ) wear it in one day and know how to walk sit etc in it. We have grown up with seeing women in our lives wearing saris so obviously it is not difficult for us. But to expect someone who is on a very tight schedule and to wear a sari is kind of ridiculous.
And ho do you know if she`s comfortable wearing one? Have you seen any her in any outfit where she is baring her midriff? Maybe she isn`t comfortable doing that since shes not accustomed to it. It wouldn`t be such an issue if she was here for longer and could learn to wear a Sari. I don`t know maybe some people would disagree with me but I don`t think you just wear a sari, you have to learn how to BE in a sari, how to move in it.
And just expecting it cos its our traditional dress is like saying if some Indian diplomat goes to Scotland he should wear a kilt. I would like to see that happen.
On Another note, I wish they had got the First Dog of United states.
He is Adorable!
Did you like Michelle Obamas looks or not? Do you agree with some of the designers?
Their clothes have been worn by the likes of First Lady Michelle Obama and Carey Mulligan, but according to Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, it took a long time for the fashion community to take them seriously.
