The big day is here, President Obama's inauguration kicked off earlier this morning and Beyoncé was chosen by the president himself to perform the National Anthem. Of course she brought along her husband Jay-Z for the historical event. The two looked very handsome in their designer duds as well. Beyoncé wore a custom black gown by Pucci and coat by Christian Dior. She finished her look with emerald green jewels from Lorraine Schwartz and Jay wore a suit by Tom Ford!
I must say we have the coolest first lady ever! When will we ever have someone this stylish in the White House ever again. Michelle Obama recently wore this black petal, silk organza Alexander McQueen gown to the People's Republic of China dinner at the White House. Many people expected her to wear a dress from a Chinese designer since they were honoring the president of China. However, she went with her own fashionable instincts and went with McQueen's red dress from the 2011 Resort Collection. Which was not only beautiful but held it's own symbolic meaning for the event; The vibrate red color is a symbol of luck in Chinese culture and therefore she was paying homage to not only McQueen but the Chinese culture as well.
Out of the blue Tyra Banks announced today that she will be ending her talk show next year. I know she always wanted to be like Oprah, but really this is going a bit far and I don't think she thought this completely through. Sure her show isn't the best but it's still pretty good and entertaining, she did win two daytime Emmys after-all! The Tyra Banks Show will officially wrap in spring 2010, at the end of its fifth season and I can't say that I won't be sad. Where else am I going to pick up fashion and makeup tips from a former Victoria's Secret model and the two Jays? The show has only been on the air for 5 years and I was hoping to see it go further, but I guess when it's time to move on it's time. Besides we can still see her on America's Next Top Model and her upcoming film projects.
I couldn't help but notice that everyone seemed to be dressed in plaid these last few days. This trend has some how manage to last all year.
On Oct. 13, 2009, Jennifer Lopez attended the "Fiesta Latina" event with her husband Marc Anthony at the White House. The event was hosted by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama and celebrates the influence of Latin music. Jennifer Lopez wore a short gold/bronze metallic dress with a flared skirt, synched and accented with a bow at the waist.
Earlier this month actress Kirsten Dunst was seen wearing the same dress at Fashion Week in New York, while attending the Rodarte fashion show. In my opinion Jennifer Lopez obviously wore it better.
