Email thisPosted Sep 5th 2008 at 7:15AM by Boydie Beener

Michelle Obama has been noted for her all American style – fact. While most women in her lofty position opt for straight laced suits by Chanel or Carolina Herrera, Michelle makes it obvious that she takes the time to get to know fashion. Case in point: The Thakoon dress she donned at the Democratic National Convention.

Jessica Alba looked soft and beautiful at the Democratic Presidential Convention last week. Alongside her husband Cash Warren and surrounded by other celebrities like Fergie and model Lily Donaldson, Jessica stole the show in her Gerard Darel floral top.

For Jessica, the French fashion house has been a longtime love. Though you can't see in the photo, she paired this chic top with a gorgeous navy velvet pants suit. As she grows as a person, her style also grows. We just love this lady and hope to see lots more of her in the future!

Alexander McQueen is way too ~~self-important~~ artistic for schmoozing, celebrities, and promoting himself. So much so, that he hopes Paris Hilton won't show up at the opening of his new LA store. Zing. Kind of. [Catwalk Queen]

Who's the most stylish presidential candidate?

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Seeing as this is a style blog, and public officials aren't exactly known for their fashion flair, there's generally no reason for us to cover politics. However, recently it seems there's been a concerted effort amongst high-profile politicians to look cool, George Bush's recent crocs fiasco and John Edwards' hair combing incident notwithstanding.

Hillary Clinton, for instance, in an attempt to reach out to the young and hip, recently held a contest, asking followers to choose her campaign song. Both the contest itself, and her choice to announce the winner in a Soprano's video spoof, got her a lot of attention from the young and hip.

Now Barack Obama -- Clinton's main competition in the Democratic party -- has had his campaign materials featured on a design blog. NOTCOT, a site normally dedicated to fashion-forward clothing and novel new gadgets, was impressed with the candidate's stylish t-shirts, buttons and stickers -- and for good reason. Normally candidates opt for a simple red, white and blue motif with their cheesy slogan italicized at the bottom -- but it looks like someone in Obama's camp actually put some thought into the visual aesthetic of his campaign.

I'm not saying that he's the best guy for the job necessarily, but with marketing material like this, it's no wonder the ladies love Barack Obama.

Which presidential candidate spent $400 on a haircut?

Email thisPosted Apr 19th 2007 at 11:01AM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Hair Care, Celebrities with Style

I was very much a "dude" growing up, so the thought of spending more than $10 for a haircut seemed ridiculous. What could a salon do that my barber couldn't? By the time I got old enough to realize that I didn't have to get the exact same cut over, and over, and over again, I was too broke to afford a hair salon, so cut it myself.

Now, finally, I'm at the point where I can appreciate what a well-trained stylist can do to tame my crazy coiffure -- for $60 or less.

John Edwards, on the other hand -- even though he has the most normal haircut on the planet -- finds it necessary to spend over $400 for a celebrity stylist to give him that "official look." What makes it even funnier, is that the presidential hopeful not only employed the services of Joseph Torrenueva, of Beverly Hills, but he paid for those services out of his campaign fund -- as if it was a legitimate business expense.

To be fair, part of the high cost is due to the fact that Torrenueva comes to whatever location is convenient for Edwards rather than have the politician make an appearance in the salon.

On the other hand, it's four hundred.dollars. I'm sure this guy is an amazing stylist -- and hey, if you've got it, spend it -- but doesn't this seem a little over the top for your basic suburban dad cut?

PS: for a funny video of John Edwards combing his hair to excess, go here.
