Hold it. Michelle Obama in Ballet Flats + Vera Wang Gown.?

So that’s how the First Lady does it?

Ballet flats?

I was searching for a title for this post and then I stumbled upon a different picture of Michelle Obama and the president at the 34th annual Kennedy Center Honors last night. She is actually wearing flats. I love how the hair is pinned up, the gorgeous chandelier earrings dangle, to the bare neck that lets the beautiful cobalt blue Vera Wang tulle gown do the talking. Everything is great…and then we get to the shoes. Does she do this often? I guess she went with flats so she doesn’t stand taller than her husband? This look is perfection, except for the shoe choice. I rarely suggest ballet flats for casual looks and definitely not when wearing a beautiful gown to a prestigious event. I guess the flats don’t completely kill the look for me, but I would give it a 7 instead of a 10. Shoe choice can sometimes make or break a look ladies, remember that!

The event honoring Meryl Streep, Neil Diamond, and other artistic achievers in music will air on CBS on December 27th so we can see more of Michelle Obama’s dress in action. Anne Hathaway, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Elmo were among the guests in attendance.

ps. – this is reason no. 37 why I would like my husband to be taller than me…even when I’m in heels.

Met Gala 2011 — Haute Looks && the Odd Couple.

There were so many great looks that graced the red carpet I just had to show some of the other looks. Check ’em out, tell me what you think. Is there anyone that you loved that I missed?

Sarah Jessica Parker in vintage Alexander McQueen.
love. love. love.

Carmelo Anthony and Lala Vazquez.
No one gave these two any shine but I think they look amazing. I’m kind of obsessed with Carmelo in the all black.
Lala is princess perfect and the colors of the dress and makeup are spot on.

Anna Wintour in Chanel Haute Couture.
A dubs looking oh-so-chic in the runway Chanel. She wears Chanel to this event every year.
This dress isn’t for everyone but I think she makes it cool.

Mary-Kate Olsen in vintage Christian Dior.
MK is giving a totally different look than the rest of the attendees. This vintage Dior is spot-on bohemian which is the hot trend for spring/summer. I love the red dress paired with the green jewelry and the smoky eye she’s wearing is killer.

Jennifer Hudson in Vera Wang.
Mrs. Jennifer Hudson looks amazing in this gown. I’ve been loving her fashion choices as of late.
I had to add the picture of her with the designer of her dress, the talented Vera Wang looking great in that chartreuse color.

Iman in Stella McCartney.
This woman never ages. Look at her rocking this low-cut gold jumpsuit.
She just looks flawless. Werk.!

Tory Burch and Kanye West.
Kind of the odd couple, no? Apparently Tory Burch is launching a menswear line and got Kanye to wear a suit from the collection. I never would have picked these two as friends. What do you think of Tory and Yeezy??
