Not only will the Obamas right our wrongdoings, slow the rise of the oceans, and save all mankind, but they also apparently have fantastic fashion sense. First, Vogue‘s April It Girl Michelle has been heralded for her “potential to bring a more fashion-forward aesthetic into the White House,” especially with her custom-made “sleeveless purple silk crepe sheath” that reportedly retails for $900. And Barack was named one of British Esquire‘s top ten best-dressed men “by virtue of his simple, sharp tailoring–usually seen clad in inconspicuous dark suit and crisp white shirt.” I’m all for better style on Pennsylvania Avenue, but this is starting to sound like a Newsweek cover story. Well, never mind. Barack was then caught by the Daily News cycling in “ill-fitting jeans, a tucked-in golf shirt, black-and-white socks and a helmet that could make Michael Dukakis blush.” Even the Obamas need a little fashion help now and then.
