First lady of stylist-less style
For as long as I’ve been able to vote, I’ve been casting my ballot for women. You see, there comes a time in every political race where I’ve heard all of the empty promises I can stand from the male candidates—that’s usually when I look to their wives. While Cindy McCain does have a certain fresh-off-the-lobotomy conveyor belt charm about her, its Michelle Obama’s potential to rival Jacqueline Kennedy as one of the greatest first ladies and style icons of our time that’s got me—along with the rest of the fashion world—very excited.
It’s being reported that Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley is just one of the many high-profile editors, stylists, and designers currently trying to get their couture stained hands on her as the November election approaches. While Shelly O. undoubtedly understands the expectations the American public has of even a potential first lady—being photographed on an almost daily basis in a never-before-seen ensemble—she may not need any of the help the fashion world is currently offering. At a recent event held in her honor, she wore an Isabela Toledo gown and Tom Binns necklace—both of which she selected herself. Funny, that’s exactly what Jackie always did.
