Fashion News Friday: Michelle Obama Shops at Target (Gasp!); Fur Tails a New Trend?!

First Lady Michelle Obama was spotted at her local Target. If she starts buying clothes there, I call dibs on her old designer duds! [Racked]

Marais USA has a totally covet worthy Fall 2011 line -one that we can actually afford (none of their shoes are above the $165 mark). [TheClothesHorse]

I have one question for the fur tail trend: why?! [Refinery29]

Saturday Obsession: Designers x Obama

Whether you’re a die-hard supporter or adamant foe of the Obama campaign, you have to admit: America’s leading couple knows fashion.

So it comes as no surprise that Barack and the ultra chic, designer-clad Michelle would team up with the likes of Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs, Thakoon, Diane von Furstenberg, Torie Burch, Prabal Gurung, and Alexander Wang. 

The result: a host of campaign merch that definitely has our votes! Obama fans can own the above Derek Lam tote for $75. Most of the tees are priced at $45, but if you’re looking to make a statement, you can scoop up a silk Thakoon scarf for $95. 

You can pre-order these items now, but you’ll have to wait until next month for them to arrive at your doorstep. 

Is this haute collab a ‘Runway to Win’ as the Obama campaign believes? We’ll simply have to wait and see!

Michelle O Hits the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in Wes Gordon

It’s official: Michelle Obama can seriously stun in skintight metallic denim. Jealous. The first lady was spotted at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on Saturday donning a Wes Gordon houndstooth jacket over curve-flaunting skinnies. 

We know Taylor Swift has major singing chops, but when it comes to the fashion department, we’re voting for Michelle!

Michelle O’s Prom Dress Gives Angie’s Right Leg a Run for its Money

Most prom dresses are a cross between trying too hard and WTF. But of course, Michelle Obama was the lady to look out for at her prom way back when. 

Much like today, Michelle O has a sense of style that seems effortless but looks hot as hell. 

But Sasha and Malia might not get to check out their mama’s glistening gold gown until they’re old enough to start prowling the fashion blogs. 

“I don’t know if I’d let my kids out with a slit that high,” Michelle told Ellen DeGeneres. “Let’s not show that to Malia and Sasha.”

Good luck with that one! Check out the Ellen video segment here.

Saturday Obsession: Michelle Obama’s Tracy Feith Frock

Michelle O, you never cease to amaze me with your flawless style. It’s safe to say I’m a bit obsessed (hence the Saturday Obsession post) with this floral printed Tracy Feith number. 

And as Glamour pointed out, this leading lady has proudly donned the dress on multiple occasions, most recently for a Memorial Day weekend trip to Arlington National Cemetery. You go, grrl!

Election 2012: Malia’s Fabulous Fashion Moment

Though I can’t get enough of Michelle Obama’s oxblood Michael Kors sheath dress (which is a good thing, as it’s a repeat from 2010), Malia Obama simply cannot be ignored. I may have a good decade on her, but the style savvy First Daughter sure knows how to rock a skirt. When I was her age, I was still bleaching my hair and donning oversize hoop earrings, but I digress. 

Here’s how you can snatch Malia’s look: 

Cobalt Ribbed Pleated Skirt $68, TopShop

Extreme Hi-Lo Hem Scoop Neck Tee $29.90, Express

Gorjana Century Waist Belt $29, ShopBop

ALL BLACK Women’s Shiny Ballet Flat $53.05, Amazon

Score Michelle Obama’s Holiday Look for Less

This past weekend, the Obama family hit the annual Christmas in Washington concert. Although the event was chock full of celebrities like Diana Ross and Demi Lovato, we barely noticed them—we were too busy swooning over Michelle Obama’s gorgeous getup! Though we didn’t expect anything less from the ever-stylish FLOTUS, you don’t need to call the White House home to dress like her. With this lookalike outfit on the cheap, you’ll have more than enough cash for some last-minute holiday shopping.

Textured sleeveless dress ($60, topshop.com), 7 Hills neon fabric woven belt ($15.99,piperlime.com), Fergie Holly shoes ($59.99, zappos.com).

Michelle Obama’s pale frock and standout belt were smash hits. Recreate the look for your next soirée with these trendy pieces. Even after all the carousing has come to a close, you’ll find yourself rocking them again and again.
