Wow, thats what I thought when I saw this picture of Hillary Clinton at the 19th Annual GLAMOUR Women Of The Year Awards. Does she not look amazing? I like her hair and make up and love the dress, its glamorous, fits well and is totally age appropriate. Good for you Hillary, see ya in 2012….
Hillary Clinton
Now that all of the excitement about this election is behind us, lets get back to what we really want to talk about, clothes!
I wonder what Michelle Obama is going to wear in the next four years. She has famously confessed she wore Gap and JCrew on the campaign trail, will she continue to do that? I can’t help but imagine myself in the white house and what it would be like to become one of the most photographed women in the world. Even if you are like Michelle Obama, confident, very clever with a natural ease about you, wouldnt you feel a little daunted by what to wear???
What have we noticed so far? she wears a lot of dresses, mostly colours. When she wears pants, she usually combines the look with a blouse or t shirt and a cardigan, to soften it up. She’s good at accessorizing in a matter where less is more. What I am most curious about is what kind of shoes she wears, as on most of the photo’s I can find online you cannot see her feet. I know she wore pointy ish flats on election night, which I would have done as well, it being the longest night of her life, girl needs some comfortable shoes.
To all my loyal readers out there, if you come across photographs of Michelle Obama post election, please let me know where to find them.
Let me leave you with the following images, my favourite first ladies both wearing a fashion classic.

Presidential family
It’s very exciting to see the new presidential family of the US, they seem to be beaming with happiness.
As I have mentioned before I will leave all the political insights to my writer colleagues and just write from fashiontweet’s viewpoints. I think they look fantastic, I am not really into combining black and red as in Michelle’s dress, but whatever, they all look stunning don’t they.
I will be interested to see if Michelle Obama continues to wear outfits from the Gap and JCrew once she’s in the white house. I’m pretty sure that was all part of her side of the campaign, trying to relate to the ‘normal’ people, but when you are the first lady of the most powerful nation of the world, I assume a little couture might be appropriate. I wonder who she will choose as her main designer. I’m pretty sure she would look marvelous in St John, Donna Karan and Ralph Lauren couture, maybe some Armani.
Good news to most women out there. It seems that size zero is on its way out. Well it’s about time isnt it. Even Karl Lagerfeld turned some models away from his show stating they looked like third world girls that didn’t eat. I have a feeling it has to do with the current economic down turn. People want to be comforted in a way. Clothes will look increasinly comfortable and so will the girls wearing them. Funny how a rounder woman invokes this feeling of a warmer personality.
Sarah Palin
What I think: I am voting for Obama so I don’t need to choose, but only silly people would think that is a lot of money on that level of celebrity.
I could really get into a rant about it and encourage the Republicans to spend even more on her. She needs coaching, and a hair and make up make over and lots of clothes. After all republicans think women are dolls anyway. Why are they saying they are upset with that? They choose a doll and then don’t want to dress her. Typical misogynist thinking.
Not only that, I would be surprised if there was less than that a month spent for her or for McCain for that matter. No one is talking about his make up and GQ is absolutely trashing his tailor. Totally bad armholes to deal with his disability. The guy is 72 and his tailor is probably 18 and knows nothing of style and finesse.
So there.
Ever since Hillary Clinton lost to Barack Obama I haven’t really been following this election that much. But as I am taking my first steps into writing my daily updates I do feel oblilged to write something about it.
So, lets look at this from the most superficial standpoint possible, what do the first ladies look like and how do they present themselves…
Cindy McCain
Nice ash blond hair, neatly but loosely tucked into a bun. Lovely blue eyes and good looking skin. I like the large pearls. The red jacked looks a little too stars and stripes for me but the colour certainly works for her. I guess she is working her husband’s navy angle with that pin, I don’t love it but it’s ok.
Michelle Obama
I think she looks amazing. Her hair is stunning. Eyebrows? gorgeous. Make up? beautiful. That turqoise colour on her looks great.
Another first lady, Hillary Clinton.

So there you have it. What do ya’ll think? who is the winner here? Please send me your comments and other photos if you have them. I look forward to it.
