Finally she wears a designer we can excited about!
Michelle Obama traded in her plum colored State of The Union dress, for a pinstriped Alexander McQueen suit while speaking at a Virginia YMCA.
Sure, it may not be as wild as we'd like, but we applaud her for at least entertaining one of his designs.

Pretty!
On Wednesday night's State of the Union address Michelle Obama chose to cover up her usually exposed arms by wearing a lovely plum colored dress by Isaac Mizrahi.
It's simple, yet classy.
Well done!

Good news for Alexa Chung!
The TV personality has just topped Vogue's 2009 list of most stylish women!
We gotta hand it to her, the girl knows how to put together a cute outfit. She always looks effortlessly chic, combining vintage with new and funky accessories to give her a unique yet on-trend look.
The full list includes a wide range of women, from Michelle Obama to Lady Gaga.
We have to say, we're slightly surprised that Alexa was ranked at number one, but we can get behind it. We think Gaga should have come in higher than number eleven, though!
The full list is as follows:
1. Alexa Chung
2. Audrey Tautou
3. Sarah Jessica Parker
4. Cheryl Cole
5. Dannii Minogue
6. Emma Watson
7. Sienna Miller
8. Diane Kruger
9. Freida Pinto
10. Kate Moss
11. Lady GaGa
12. Lily Donaldson
13. Leighton Meester
14. Michelle Obama
15. Angelina Jolie
16. Georgia May Jagger
17. Anna Friel
18. Olivia Palermo
19. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy
20. Beth Ditto
Lots of our favorites on that list!
Who do U think should be number one?

You might not know her name yet, but we think you will soon!
Sophie Theallet is an in-the-know name at this point, but the designer's star is rising brightly.
A recent winner of the Council of Fashion Designers of America award, Theallet spent the early part of her career designing under the wing of Jean-Paul Gautier and Azzedine Alaia.
Not too shabby!
She says,
"Gautier taught me to stop at nothing and Alaia gave me a taste for rigor. I came to the United States a dozen years ago because I'd fallen in love and I never left, though at the start I was a consultant and I often returned to Paris where I kept working with Alaia."
She currently runs a pretty modest operation: her work station is her a kitchen table which is "not quite at the right height," situated in her third floor Manhattan apartment, and she only has one full-time worker to help her create her collections. "I make about 40 items per collection, so 80 a year," she says. That's a lot to do with only one helping hand!
Hopefully, that can all change soon. Beside the prestige associated with winning the CFDA award, the prize for the award is a handsome $200,000 which could help her jump start her business. What's more, Michelle Obama has twice been photographed wearing her designs, giving her a buzz factor that could entice investors.
Her collections use colors and fabrics from across the globe: "I am originally from south-west France, but I consider myself a world citizen, multi-cultural, and I am inspired by Africa, but also by Canada, Mexico. It's more the sweetness of life in certain countries that inspires me." In the end, though, she's a simple gal: "There's nothing more chic than a simple cotton dress."
We agree! Can't wait to see more of the designer in the future!

We may not have liked the outfit she wore earlier in the day, but Michelle Obama looked beautiful last night at the Nobel Peace Prize Banquet in honor of her husband, President Barack Obama, in Oslo, Norway.
We love the color of her Azzedine Alaïa gown, it's gorgeous against her warm skin tone. We love the detailing and the fit, and we love love her earrings, hair, and makeup.
Our First Lady's got style!
