Prince Harry is in the United States this week for a series of official visits, and he kicked off his trip by joining Michelle Obama at a White House reception honoring military moms. We’re pretty sure Harry was on his best behavior–the First Lady certainly wouldn’t tolerate any of his shenanigans at her house.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) released its annual report yesterday and, according to the group, elective upper arm surgery is one of the fastest growing plastic surgery trends.
The ASPS presented some poll data that gives a hint about why the procedure, which leaves a visible scar from your elbow to your armpit, has become so popular, and of course it involves celebrities. “Celebrities from the White House to the red carpet may be having an influence,” the ASPS reports.
For one night each year at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner the worlds of politics, Hollywood, and fashion collide. It’s always weird and awesome. Like when Hayden Panettiere met Rahm Emanuel, what did they say to each other?
Last night’s dinner was perhaps the most fashion-filled to date.
When Hamish Bowles presented Thom Browne with the Pratt Fashion Visionary Award at last night’s Pratt Institute Fashion Show, he brought up Michelle Obama’s choice of a Thom Browne coat on Inauguration day, calling it a “life-changing event” for the designer. Browne wouldn’t disagree with that sentiment.
Today is Marc Jacobs’s 50th birthday, which is quite the milestone.
It wasn’t too hard to come up with 50 things we like about Marc Jacobs to commemorate his big day.
In case you had any doubts that Michelle Obama is just like us, let this put them to rest: The First Lady hates growing out her bangs, too.
Last week, China’s First Lady Peng Liyuan made headlines in the fashion world when she accompanied President Xi Jinping on his first official trip abroad to Russia wearing an understated, elegant coat, light blue scarf and black leather handbag. Comparisons to Michelle Obama, Jackie O and Carla Bruni abounded and the Chinese and International press alike were singing her praises.
Liyuan’s most headline-making move has been to do something we, in America, have come to expect (demand?) from our First Lady: She’s embracing domestic, homegrown designers.
The Obamas stepped out yesterday in their Easter Sunday best to attend a service at St. John’s Episcopal Church.

Would You Rather Go to College or Buy This Hermès Shirt? Seriously: They both cost around the same amount.
Naeem Khan is one of the very few designers who can say he’s dressed Michelle Obama—and Lady Gaga—for high profile events. There’s no doubt Khan excels at creating red carpet dresses for women of all shapes and sizes to wear—but make no mistake, there’s a lot more to the Indian-born, American-based designer than just intricate bead work (though, certainly, there is that too).
At last night’s Fashion Talks at the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF), Khan sat down with Pamela Golbin, the Chief Curator of Fashion and Textiles at Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris, to talk about everything from his Indian roots, to working for Halston—and of course dressing the First Lady.
Is the relationship between Oscar de la Renta and Michelle Obama beyond repair, or is there a chance Obama will have an Oscar moment in the future?
De la Renta is not very hopeful.
If you don’t already believe in soulmates, listening to Isabel and Ruben Toledo speak should convince you.
