Inaugural wears 2009

[Lefty]

The gloves were a problem, but at least she's improved on her overall look since this disaster - which wouldn't flatter any figure. It looks like she's wearing a crushed red velvet dress, but being held prisoner by some evil shadow.

Jackie was perfect.

*sigh* She was.

Two great photos I'd not seen.

(Tube sox? Jack!)

I can't remember if I saw it on the Lounge or another site, but I've seen this photo used to illustrate that the Thom Brown look isn't so new.

Bwahahahaaaaa - I couldn't stop seeing Aretha's hat. Her stylist should be fired. That was way bad.

Aretha can do what she wants. She is the Queen of Soul! :eusa_clap





Ok, back to topic.

Yeah, how 'bout a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

His white tie was fine. He dictates style... QUOTE]

Dictates style? Oh, I don't think anyone should "dictate" anything or anyone.

Here they are looking rather Hollywood

Lady Day, You say that like it's a good thing!

The tie and details of the POTUS's tux did not do it for me.

And I voted for him 4 times!!

 

[David V]

Here's BO in White Tie sans vest. Maybe he just doesn't get it.[huh]

Good God! I can't believe David Axlerod looks better that the POTUS.

People may find the following articles interesting. Apparently on the day of President Obama's inauguration he was wearing bullet proof clothing. Not a bullet proof vest but the clothing themselves were bullet proof.

Personally I dont really like the way the new president dresses. He sounds great...now if only he could be more stylish.

Sorry - if my previous comment sounded too harsh It's still true. Like LD said, that hat belongs locked in a box, or as someone else mentioned, on a Lexus during their Christmas presentation - especially since she is the Queen of Soul! Her presentation was awe inspiring, as always.

*edit*
I think it IS a good thing.
The US is notorious when it comes to responding to youthful, attractive, powerful people. Its the reason why so many want to know what part of the world Brangelina is in, or why Bono is such an effective world crusader.

So we get a current First Family who posses these traits along with others that many hope will make them effective in the role, and its looked down on as 'celebrity, and 'Hollywood'?

Regan was a hollywood actor, and people didnt use that to his detriment when it came to his style. I find the hypocrisy of that laughable.

I had no problem with this dress. I liked this one over the ball gown from Last night. I think people were put off because the gown is sleeveless, and shes wearing a sweater over top.

Beautiful kids, especially Malia.

I thought that the one shoulder strap design looked similar to the Bali Dance costumes. Maybe inspired by the President's connection with Indonesia?

 

[Max Flash]

fftopic: , but it is just SO hard to come to terms with the fact that this look is considered acceptable. To see even one person wearing it looks ridiculous but if I walked into a room and saw two people like this wearing these obnoxious suits, I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. Men should be too ashamed to dress like this.

Rant over!

 

[Tomasso]

Odder still is that TB matriculated at Notre Dame.

The designer was born in Taipei. Not a bulls eye, but close-ish.

There's a difference between Regan's Hollywood and today's Hollywood; The former had style, the latter doesn't. Describing somebody as Hollywood used to be a compliment, now it's considered a pejorative.

They were just discussing that hats are making a comback.

Speaking of hats, saw quite a few fedoras yesterday, mostly on observers.
