Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural Ball dress four years ago - and the risk paid off. The First Lady looked stunning in a sweeping, velvet and chiffon, ruby-colored dress by designer Jason Wu. She teamed the dramatic gown with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald. She surprised the fashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been custom-made for her. Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball, Michelle shimmered in an off-white, one-shouldered floor-length couture gown by the designer. Wu, who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years, saw his career take off after the First Lady's surprise decision to wear one of his dresses. He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the gown and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared. After her 2013 decision, Wu told Women's Wear Daily: 'Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets. She fooled me again.' Wu released a women's clothing and accessories collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements. The sleeveless, cross-halterneck dress with low-cut back flattered 49-year-old Michelle's toned arms and neat waist. It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the somber palette she stuck to at earlier inauguration events. Mrs Obama's new hairstyle - she had bangs cut in on her birthday last week - had been loosely tousled for the special night. Vice-President Joe Biden's wife Jill also looked glamorous in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball. (Agencies)

米歇爾?奧巴馬做了一個(gè)大膽的決定,再次找來四年前為她設(shè)計(jì)總統(tǒng)就職舞會(huì)著裝的設(shè)計(jì)師——結(jié)果證明此舉大獲成功。 身穿華裔設(shè)計(jì)師吳季剛設(shè)計(jì)的一款紅色雪紡紗絲絨禮服,第一夫人顯得美艷絕倫。與這款炫目禮服配搭的是由周仰杰設(shè)計(jì)的一雙高跟鞋,以及金伯莉?麥克唐納德設(shè)計(jì)的一枚鉆戒。 米歇爾再次選擇吳季剛為她量身設(shè)計(jì)的禮服,令時(shí)裝界大吃一驚。 四年前在第一次參加總統(tǒng)就職舞會(huì)時(shí),米歇爾身著一款露肩灰白色齊地長(zhǎng)裙,驚艷全場(chǎng)。這身長(zhǎng)裙同樣出自吳季剛的設(shè)計(jì)。 當(dāng)時(shí)的吳季剛年僅26歲,涉足時(shí)裝界僅僅3年。就在第一夫人出乎意料地決定選擇他設(shè)計(jì)的禮服后,他便一舉成名。 他表示當(dāng)時(shí)自己并不知道米歇爾會(huì)選擇自己設(shè)計(jì)的長(zhǎng)裙。米歇爾出現(xiàn)時(shí),他正坐在家里的沙發(fā)上邊看電視邊吃披薩。 獲知米歇爾今年舞會(huì)著裝的決定后,吳季剛在接受《女裝日?qǐng)?bào)》采訪時(shí)透露:“奧巴馬夫人總要保守秘密,這次又瞞過我了。” 去年,他在Target賣場(chǎng)推出了一系列女士服裝及飾件,第一夫人一直都對(duì)這些服飾青睞有加,多次在正式場(chǎng)合挑選其一。 身著這款無袖露背長(zhǎng)裙,現(xiàn)年49歲的米歇爾顯得四肢勻稱,腰肢舒展。 這款長(zhǎng)裙是吳季剛為她量身打造的,一改以往就職儀式上暗淡的色調(diào)。 米歇爾在上周生日時(shí)剪了齊劉海,而為了就職舞會(huì)當(dāng)晚做了蓬松的造型。 副總統(tǒng)拜登的妻子吉爾在就職舞會(huì)上身著王薇薇設(shè)計(jì)的一款藍(lán)色絲綢長(zhǎng)裙,同樣光彩照人。 相關(guān)閱讀 (中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語點(diǎn)津 實(shí)習(xí)生王賓雷 編輯:Julie) |
