Your morning fashion and beauty report: Michelle Obama's Alexander McQueen gown might not have been politically correct

Oscar de la Renta is fretting over the red and black Alexander McQueen gown Michelle Obama wore to this week's state dinner for People's Republic of China President Hu Jintao. Not that the frock by McQueen creative director Sarah Burton wasn't lovely. But it should have been made by an American or Chinese designer, not a Brit, de la Renta says. Who knew fashion was so political? [WWD]

Re: MO going on Oprah to promote military families and fat kids and her garden or whatever...

The move center campaign is ON making people think MO gives a rats petard about anyone other than her progressive ideals.

It's her fault too. I don't know why she puts up with that crap.

There is a really easy cure for that, just stop walking and if possible, find the nearest seat.
I have had to do that more than a few times in my life. Eventually, he realizes that you are nowhere around and will have to come find you.

In the future, he'll find it much easier to put you first, instead of backtracking to find you.

It is also alll over the news that Obama’s daughter Sasha spoke Chinese to Hu the dictator

Oh the outrage!

A nine year old practicing her nascent language skills on a native speaker. The horror.

Sorry black skirt, black top, black snow boots as it snowed a lot in Boston today and I made it to work early, even though all the state workers didn’t have to report to work until 11 am!

And .... Oscar de la Renta's opinion is "important" - WHY???

He obviously lives in an alternated universe, or else is exhibiting dementia if he seriously thinks that MO's ball gown is indicative of ANYTHING, much less has any intrinsic importance.

You may stop sharing ... I do not care in the least what you are wearing and I apologize that you thought I did.

Yep- African tribal discards- only on real African tribal people- I am speaking of Liberian refugees etc- the styles look good, and are authentic.

I like it. I think she looked good for a change. Michelle has worn a few outfits that realy suit her. She should stick with those designers.

Isn't that Parade Rest for a horn? Or is it Railing Rest?

The point is the media’s overall coverage. Who cares about MO’s dress or Sasha’s foreign language skills? How about reporting on CHINA OWNING US, global communism AKA NWO and the fact that a communist dictator is and was given power to lecture America and dictate?

The dress does not really look bad, now for a suggestion, if someone could photshop a white streak in her hair a la “Bride of Frankenstein”, it would set the whole thing off perfectly.

It’s a great dress for her but the strap down looks stupid.

Perhaps she wanted to show off her well toned shoulder ;-)
