Shelley O gets on with the donning of the red and the green, giving it her own little spin. But taken with the blue Hanukkah dress the other day, it’s safe to say she feels the need to be extremely traditional in her holiday color choices. U.S. first lady Michelle Obama attends a book...

Shelley gets her Hanukkah on.   President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama attends a Hanukkah reception in the White House. First Lady Michelle Obama wears a Rodarte dress. We can already hear vehement disagreement coming our way, but we really don’t like the jewelry at...

We are at a loss for words. No, really. Just look:   U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama at 2011 Kennedy Center Honors in Washington in custom Vera Wang. What else can you say to that but “Brava, Shelley. BRAVA.” Someone needs to tell the guy on the...

Shelley O welcomed military families to the White House to view and make holiday decorations, darlings. In the spirit of the season, let’s judge her clothes.   That rose brooch is beautiful and really makes the outfit, bumping it up from being too simple. The dress is sharp in its...

The thing with Shelley is, she’s a risk-taker with her fashion. That means that she’s going to get more attention from the fashion press than any First Lady in recent memory. It also means that she’s going to go out in some highly questionable outfits.   President...

Shelley O’s been a busy First Girl lately, so let’s check how she did on the style front.   First lady Michelle Obama arrives at the Tomb of the Unknowns during a Veterans Day full honor ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. We’re not big fans...

After 3 straight days of European royalty (with more to come), it’s about time for some good old-fashioned American bitchery, wouldn’t you say? President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama at Independence Day celebration on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington....

Darlings, let’s give a quick shoutout to Shelley O’s African trip wardrobe, which has been suitably colorful and attention-getting, while still being classy and First Lady-like. Which isn’t to say there weren’t a couple clunkers. She wouldn’t be Shelley if she...

No sense in being coy about it. Shelley O knocked another one out of the park, darlings. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama welcome German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her husband Joachim Sauer at the North Portico of the White House as they arrive for the State Dinner in...

Shelley O once again gave us a dress to talk about, bless her. We were talking to a fashion editor recently and when Michelle’s name came up, this editor essentially repeated what we’ve always said about her: She gets it wrong a LOT, but she’s the most adventurous (in terms...

Shelley O SHUT. IT. DOWN. At the Buckingham Palace state dinner. Check it: Knocked that one out of the park, wouldn’t you say? Even Phil looks impressed. It seems to be a very deliberate Jackie Kennedy/Oleg Cassini kind of look, especially with the opera gloves. The halter neckline is...

Shelley O met up with Betty, Cammie, and Cathy, and the gals all had a laugh together. Let’s decide whether we approve of their clothes, shall we? Barbara Tfank Resort 2011 Collection/Model: Edythe Hughes It’s a very pretty dress. A bit too self-consciously retro, though. It could...

Shelley O wore an eye-popping Naeem Khan skirt to a student poetry workshop at the White House and it gives us a chance to tell you our take on color matching. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t Mrs. Obama lucky to hear our thoughts on her color-matching skills? We have no illusions that...

Shelley O wore a smart little Ports 1961 dress at a Mother’s Day event in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC and it’s setting off our Fashion OCD. She looks really great. Love the dress. But all we want to do is reach out and adjust it for her because it looks...
