There are some striking similarities between
the First Family-elect and the legendary Kennedy family -- youth,
energy, style, beauty, hope...but Michelle O is not merely Jackie O
two-point-0.
Admittedly, when we first met Michelle on the campaign trail she
did recycle myriad Jackie-isms -- the pearls, the flip, the sheath
dress -- but she has since come into her own.
Michelle has become a fashion risk-taker, clearly evidenced by her much-debated dress choice on Election Night. She is also a modern mixer of high and low: she slips into head-to-toe J. Crew (left) as easily as she slips into a Thakoon runway frock (right).
She is a study in subtlety, yet she is far from
a fashion wallflower. Her choices are bold but not loud,
strong but still feminine. She is becoming a style icon --
quickly -- and stands poised to inspire a new generation of
women.
Is the Obama White House going to be the new Camelot?
Perhaps.
However the queen of the castle is undoubtedly going to rewrite her
own fashion history.
