"Everyday Icon: Michelle Obama And The Power Of Style" By Kate Betts
Fashion editors, critics and bloggers alike have been all abuzz regarding a star beyond the silver screen...our First Lady Michelle Obama. And thanks to her popularity, innate (and often accessible---she wore H&M on the Today Show this morning) sense of style, celebrated and sometimes controversial wardrobe choices---and a new book entitled "Everyday Icon" by Kate Betts, Michelle has become the talk of this town and every town.
Betts is a contributing editor at Time magazine, a columnist at The Daily Beast and has graced the mastheads and pages of the world's most influential fashion magazines. With that said, it's no surprise that a powerful woman like herself would be drawn to and study, arguably the most powerful woman in the world, our First Lady.
The book is a wonderfully informative and entertaining look into Michelle's world (mother, wife, activist, philanthropist, super woman, etc) and closet (J.Crew to McQueen). In short...it's a MUST-read!
Although Michelle is top of mind at the moment, there have been many first ladies who have inspired us to wear a hat, slip on a little black dress, don a bold color, or dare I say....bare your arms in a sleeveless blouse or dress.
So, in celebration of the unique and inspiring styles of our present First Lady and of her trendsetting predecessors I wanted to share the following gallery Betts posted on her Daily Beast column today.
