    Michelle Obama and Ann Romney: Politics of Style

    When Michelle Obama wears a dress, people ask who designed it. When Ann Romney wears a dress, they ask how much it cost. In the case of Romney and Obama, they wear their party differences on their sleeves, or lack thereof. One day in the future, we may have two female presidential candidates whose words will be more scrutinized than their outfits. But for now, First Lady fashion is a critical element in a man's race for the White House, and the wardrobe of both wives shape the political discourse as much as any scripted speech.

      Oscar De La Renta, who also designed the blue dress Romney wore the following day, was a favorite of Laura Bush and Nancy Reagan during their husbands' presidencies. He's also not a favorite of Michelle Obama's, as Fashionista's Executive Editor Leah Chernikoff pointed out. It begged the question from fashion critics: was Romney's convention dresses a strategic homage to eras long gone in the White House?
