She had us at, “Hollaaaaaaa!” Everyone is still obsessed and talking about First Lady, Michelle Obama’s karaoke ride. Michelle sang away with James Cordon and Missy Elliot! Thus, proving that as a leader it is still okay to let your hair down and have fun. For this reason Variety is featuring Flotus as Michelle Obama wears Jonathan Simkhai.

Michelle Obama Wears Jonathan Simkhai On Variety

Mrs. Obama over the years has captured hearts despite much criticism. Nevertheless, Variety highlights how Michelle is now a debonair leading lady. Variety states, “Michelle Obama used her passion, smarts and entertainment savvy to transition from White House supporting player to beloved media star.”

We couldn’t agree with that statement more. Obama will go down as one of great First Ladies who truly resonated with “the people.” Always a class act and fighting for the good of the nation.

White House Correspondents Dinner Fashion Recap

Arianne Suggs May 3, 2016May 3, 2016Leave a Comment

Everyone brought their style A-Game to dine with the Obamas at this year’s White House Correspondents dinner. There seemed to be several fashion trends spotted during the night. Therefore, without further ado here is our fashion recap of the White House Correspondents Dinner!

Color played a huge fashion role at the WHCD. Black was a major hit among several starlets. Wearers included: Actresses Kerry Washington, Gabrielle Union, Rosario Dawson, Tracee-Ellis Ross as well as Actress/Reality star Nene Leakes. Although, length also played a key factor with floor-length gowns dominating the red carpet. Kerry Washington kept her LBD (Little Black Dress) around knee length. The black dresses seen were not a one note either. Intricate detailing, high splits and sexy cut-outs gave the noire gowns sophisticated and sexy allure.

Bold Color was also trending this year at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Attendees that dared to rock a boisterous tint included: La La Anthony, supermodel Lais Ribiero, actress Jada Pinkett Smith and Gayle King. An ethereal hue to wear during the spring season is any shade of white. Stunning actresses Regina King and Vivica A. Fox both demonstrated how to turn heads in white couture.

Tamron Hall took things up a further notch in the realm of color. Besides her gown being a gorgeous gold tint it was full of sparkle and glimmering grandeur! Hall gave us retro Hollywood glamour and we loved it.

One sleeve gowns as well as plunging necklines were also a trend among the ladies. Both style details gave the stars sassy appeal. Kudos to the stylists and well done ladies you looked great!

If you ever need to know how to drop the mic when it comes to style all you have to do is channel your inner Flotus! Michelle Obama attended her husband’s final State of the Union Address in an elegant yet boisterous tinted gown by Narciso Rodriguez.

As soon as Michelle Obama made her debut the fashion conscious took to social media discussing the tint of Obama’s ensemble. Some thought apricot but the Sleeveless Banded-Bodice Midi Dress was actually in Marigold. Good guesses though everyone!

Besides looking amazing on televisions across the country, Michelle Obama also put to rest a long held notion that she is not “known for her fashion influence.” Yeah… just let that thought sink in a little.

Nevertheless, the naysayers, haters and cynics were all silenced when news promptly spread that Michelle’s choice of dress had sold completely out! If you had wanted to get your hands on one sorry to tell ya, but some pretty lucky ladies beat us to the checkout cart.

From the runway to the State of the Union, the sold out Narciso Rodriguez dress.

Beauty Notes: Strong brows, eyeliner and neutral lip color made for a subtle yet stunning makeup look.
