At the final debate at Lynn University in Boca Raton, FL., we witnessed two very differently dressed presidential women. On Team President, Michelle Obama showed up in a custom Thom Browne black / denim lace shift dress, which she recycled from the Democratic National Convention on September 7th, 2012 – only 1 month ago. On Team Mitt, Ann Romney was so on trend for fall in mixed greens by Oscar de la Renta – wearing a pleated, printed A-line skirt and hunter green shirt set w/a skinny waist belt, an ensemble reminiscent of the 1950’s. We were wondering if there’s a general style guide that is privately published in advance to the debates. How are these leading ladies supposed to know how to dress?
In last week’s Town-Hall style debate at Hofstra University in New York, both ladies blinded television viewers in seriously hot hot hot pink getups, Michelle Obama in a matching hot pink suit and Ann Romney in a hot pink dress. Clearly, the two women were showing their support for breast cancer awareness month during October…but how did they both know to wear a hot pink outfit on the same evening? Tonight, each of the ladies clearly had their own unique sense of style, and neither showed up in hot pink or pink of any shade. So, we’re wondering, is there a presidential debate style guide? Or, is it a sweep through the closet the evening of, and a tug slash last-minute decision on the dress or two-piece that fits the lady’s mood…?
Who was best dressed at Lynn University in Boca Raton, FL? Did you like the 1st lady’s dress? What about the Republican candidate’s wife’s ensemble? Do you think a style guide exists for these ladies? Are they to fend for themselves when it comes to these very important, widely watched debates?!
