2015 White House Correspondents Dinner: Michelle Obama Wish List

First Lady Michelle Obama will be on hand on tomorrow night for the White House Correspondents Dinner, along with a host of VIPs like Jane Fonda, Ciara, Chrissy Teigan, Lucy Liu, Connie Britton, Kerry Washington, Naomi Campbell, Karlie Kloss, Michelle Monaghan, and Julie Bowen. What the difference between the VIPs and the First Lady is that Michelle will only be photographed from mid-thigh up as she takes her seat at the head table at the dinner. It is a shame because I would have loved to have seen the head to toe looks of many of the gowns that Michelle has worn to the White House Correspondents Dinner. While I would love to see this water inspired Carolina Herrera Fall 2015 RTW a line dress worked on the red carpet by the likes of Camilla Belle or Dianna Agron so that we could see the full dramatic shape of the gown, I would still love to see the First Lady wear it tomorrow night. I pick a gown for Michelle for the White House Correspondents Dinner based on the tops visual interest, and the water pattern embroidery on this gown definitely has that visual interest.

Michelle Obama for the 4th of July Celebrations Wish List

As a proud citizen of the United States of America I must mark the Fourth of July with a wish for my nations First Lady, Michelle Obama. I know that there is not usually a grand Independence Day Ball (like in the Princess Diaries) though if there were our First Lady should grace the crowd wearing this amazing Reem Acra Fall 2013 RTW gown which has a beading on the bodice and skirt that very much reminds me of fireworks against the night sky. This gown is a glamorous gown that looks like it was absolutely made for an American First Lady for the Fourth of July. I would make this look even more patriotic with a red manicure and silver sandals so that all the colors of Old Glory are represented in this stunning ensemble.

2013 White House Correspondents Dinner Wish List Part 3

Newsweek will also be bringing Olivia Munn to the 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner on April 27th along with Nicole Kidman. I am actually really looking forward to seeing what the actress will wear to this years dinner. At the Academy Awards back in February I was shocked to see to see Olivia take to the red carpet with the most buzzed about Marchesa gown just for the sake of attending the event. For the dinner I would love to see Olivia wear this black Elie Saab Fall 2013 RTW gown with a halter neck. I think that this gown would look elegant and classic on Olivia. Complete the look with a black Judith Leiber clutch, black Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps, and stunning diamond jewelry. If she pulls all this together then Olivia will wow in a stunning red carpet ensemble.

Hot off her successful run in 'Cat on the Hot Tin Roof' on Broadway Scarlett Johanson will be a guest of the Huffington Post at the 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday night. Scarlett has really made a lot of questionable fashion choices lately and I am kind of fearful to see what she will bust out for the red carpet this weekend. I would stay safe with this black embellished Ralph Lauren Spring 2013 RTW rouched gown. This is a simple gown that could be elevated to best dressed status with the perfect accessories. First thing that Scarlett would have to find would be the perfect black sandals, like a pair of Dolce & Gabbana crystal trimmed sandals, as anything else would be the perfect start to accessorizing this look. Now comes color! Add an emerald and black Edie Parker striped clutch, a pair of Cartier diamond and emerald drop earrings, and a Cartier diamond and emerald bracelet and Scarlett will wow me on the red carpet at this dinner.

Sophia Bush will be attending the White House Correspondents Dinner as a guest of NPR on Saturday. I would love to see Sophia, who used to be a red carpet favorite and now not so much, wear this amazing art deco Egyptian inspired Badgley Mischka Pre-Fall 2013 RTW gold and red gown. Sophia likes to make bold statements with her dressing and this gown would be a big one. Complete this ensemble with a simple pair of gold pumps and a top knot and Sophia will wow on the red carpet.

2013 White House Correspondents Dinner Wish List Part 2

Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays the character of a Vice President of the United States on the hit HBO comedy 'VEEP.' For next week's White House Correspondents Dinner Julia will be attending the event as herself as a guest of TIME Magazine. For this event I would love to see Julia wear this amazing white gown with black trim from the Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2013 collection. I have been surprised that this gown has not been picked up from the much celebrity loved collection for the event. Complete this look with a blue Edie Parker clutch and a pair of strappy black pumps and Julia will look outstanding on the red carpet.

Kerry Washington also plays a political heavy hitter on the hit ABC drama 'Scandal' so it is no surprise that television network will be bringing her to this years White House Correspondents Dinner. I would love to see Kerry wear this electric blue J. Mendel Fall 2013 RTW gown with an asymmetrical neckline. Kerry Washington doesn't really wear this color very often but when she does she looks absolutely fantastic. I would just pair this with a pair of metallic Jimmy Choo electric blue sandals and a fashionable diamond cuff and Kerry will wow in a modern design.

Nicole Kidman will be a guest of Newsweek's at the 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner on April 27th. I wished for Nicole to wear this black and gold Versace Pre-Fall 2013 for the 2013 Grammy Awards and she did not end up attending that event and this continues to be a gown that I can only see Nicole Kidman wearing. I think that as the biggest name invited to this years dinner Nicole will down play her Academy Award winning style. Nicole is rumored to be a jury member at this years Cannes Film Festival so I think that her look for this event will be very subdued. Complete this look with a pair of black and gold Roger Vivier 'Rose and Roll' sandals and a simple black box clutch for the perfect White House Correspondents Dinner ensemble.

2013 White House Correspondents Dinner Wish List Part 1

Last year Elizabeth Banks looked fantastic wearing an orange Antonio Bearadi gown for the White House Correspondents Dinner as a guest of ABC. This year the 'Hunger Games' star will be attending again thanks to CNN. Elizabeth is not afraid to take a risk on the red carpet  so for this years dinner I would love to see her wear this Marchesa Fall 2013 RTW gown. The perfect accessories for this dress are a Charlotte Olympia green and gold 'One Upon A Time' book clutch and black and gold Charlotte Olympia 'Metropolitan' sandals. If she were to add these items to this dress with a sleek wavy hairstyle and a light pink lip, Elizabeth will work her way to the top of best dressed lists everywhere.

Hayden Panettiere the star of the hit ABC show 'Nashville' will be attending the 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner as a guest of the network with her co-star Connie Britton. I am actually really excited about seeing what the actress wears for this event. I would place the actress in this amazing Badgley Mischka Fall 2013 RTW red one shouldered gown. I feel that that in the past few years Badgley Mischka has gone from a coveted brand to one that you rarely hear about anymore and that is disappointing because several stunning ensembles have gone into archives and will never be seen again. Complete this ensemble with a black and silver Jimmy Choo 'Tube' clutch, a pair of black beaded Jimmy Choo evening shoes, and a pair of diamond and ruby earrings. If she takes all of my advice then I see Hayden making best dressed lists worldwide.

NPR will be bringing Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren as their guests. Jessica is no stranger to the event having attended in 2010 wearing a stunning Marios Schwab design. For this years event I would love to see the stunning actress choose yet another British designer. I would love to see Jessica wear this beaded floral print Jenny Packham Fall 2013 RTW gown. I think that this coloring looks amazing on Jessica and she would shine like the star that she is. A red glitter Andrew Kayla clutch and a pair of champagne Jimmy Choo satin peep toe pumps would be the perfect compliments to this already stunning gown.

2013 White House Correspondents Dinner: Michelle Obama Wish

For her first White House Correspondents Dinner in 2009 Michelle Obama wore a fuchsia Michael Kors gown, in 2010 a red Prabal Gurung gown, a brown Halston in 2011, and a multi print Naeem Khan in 2012. For this years White House Correspondents Dinner I would love to see the First Lady of the United States wear this black beaded top and white and black rose printed ball skirt from the Naeem Khan Spring 2013 RTW collection. Michelle doesn't seek to the runways that are not accessible to the public so this amazing ensemble would be perfect. Her new fringe bang hairstyle, a stack of diamond bracelets, and a pair of black strappy kitten heels and all eyes will be on Michelle.

Michelle Obama Offical Functions Wish List

Michelle Obama Wish List for the Presidential Inaugural Ceremonies

Tomorrow in Washington DC the President of the United States will be sworn in on the steps of Capitol Hill for his second term. And as much as all the political nuts will be watching for the speeches and the commentary, the members of the fashion industry will be watching to see what the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, will be wearing. The First Lady has done so much for American designers, even helping to launch the careers of designers like Prabal Gururng, Jason Wu, and Naeem Khan. I would like to see the first lady wear these two pieces from different Badgley Mischka collections. I think that the sand gold beaded Resort 2013 coat would be amazing over the blouse and skirt style Pre-Fall 2012 dress. Finish the look with a pair of gold pumps and she will look amazing even in the predicted 34 degree weather.

The First Lady does like to have some fun with fashion and I think that this Naeem Khan Fall 2012 RTW one shouldered ball gown would look amazing on her. I first wondered if this was too much of a risk for the inaugural events but after consulting with many people I decided that my original gut would look amazing. I am almost positive thought that she will wear a custom designed gown from an up and coming designer as she single-handedly launched the career of Jason Wu four years ago at the inaugural balls. This gown would be perfect with a pair of black crystal encrusted pair of pumps, some stunning earrings, and to keep her warm while en-route to the different balls an accessible Prabal Gurung cape from the Neiman Marcus + Target collection that only costs $23.99

Michelle Obamas 2012 Campaign Trail Look Wish Lists

Also just under a month away on September 3rd the Democratic National Convention kicks off the 2012 Election campaign trail in Charlotte North Carolina. I am 100% positive that Michelle Obama will be at her husbands side as he campaigns across the United States to earn re-election for four more years in office. Michelle not only campaigns with her husband but she spends a good amount of time out campaigning for him on her own. A great look for one of these appearances is this stunning blue, white, and silver Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2012 top and skirt. I love when the First Lady wears stunning blue colors and think that this look would be a classic and elegant yet fashion forward choice. I would remove the scarf like detail because it would overwhelm Michelle and add a thin red belt to replace the thin black one that is on the model to show patriotism yet still be fashion forward.  Only thing left to add would be a pair of simple blue pumps to complete the perfect first lady look.

The next look I would love to see Michelle don while she is out on the campaign trail is this navy Donna Karan Pre-Fall 2012 wrap style dress with an accented black bow in the hip. I think that this gown would enhance Michelle's curves and showcase her stunning arms quite well. Michelle much like Donna did whilst styling the collection will most likely pair this dress with a chunky statement necklace but I would hope she would change her shoe choice to be a matching navy or black peep toe pump instead.

This Lela Rose Fall 2012 black and silver abstract stripe printed top paired with black pants would be perfect for an appearance in a city that is colder as this ensemble could handle a number of different color coats to add a bright pop in the dreary cold and still look fab if she was to take the coat off. I would pair this amazing ensemble with a bright fuchsia long single breasted wool trench coat, a pair of black closed toe patent leather pumps and if its really cold a pair of tight black leather gloves to shun the cold and look extremely fabulous.

One designer that I NEVER thought that I would ever see Michelle Obama wear the avant garde high fashion designer Marc Jacobs but in fact the First Lady is a HUGE fan of the designer and has worn his designs many of times for appearances. I think that for the beginning of the campaign headed into early fall that this orange and yellow Marc Jacobs Resort 2013 lace print sheath dress would be a great option. It has fall coloring but in a very elegant avant garde way and I think that Michelle would look amazing with her toffee colored complexion. I would just keep a pair of simple nude pumps to complete her look.

In 2008 Michelle Obama wore a black and red Narciso Rodriguez on the deck of President Obama's victory platform on election night in Chicago and since she has continued to wear the designer many of times. I think that this camel, fuchsia, red, white, and black color blocked dress would be an absolutely amazing option for her to don for an appearance during the election. I think that the first lady who shows that she is definitely not afraid of color would look amazing wearing this dress and I would love for her to pair this with a pair of fuchsia heels, preferably peep toes by Jimmy Choo.

Last but not least we have this red and blue abstract plaid print Peter Som Pre-Fall 2012 dress that nips in at the waist and flares out at the bottom. This is another patriotic option for the First Lady and would be stunning paired with a red cropped bolero for her appearance Election night if her husband is re-elected. Keep the thin black belt and add a pair of black peep toe pumps and the look will be complete.

White House Correspondent's Dinner Wish List

 The White House Correspondent's Dinner is the one night where Washington puts on the west coast glitz. Michelle Obama will of course be on hand as she is the First Lady! LOL! I would love to see Miss Obama wear this stunning Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013 Bridal gown. I would die if she wore this but I do not think it will come true just because Oscar and Michelle do not have the greatest relationship. She has never worn one of his designs in her husbands entire four years of presidency, even though is is arguably one of the most brilliant names in American fashion. Another reason that she would most likely not ever don an ensemble by the designer is the fact that he called her out last year when she wore a red Alexander McQueen gown for a state dinner. I think that if the two could put aside her differences and collaborate that the result would be beautiful. Blue and silver statement jewels (which Michelle does so well) and a stunning pair of blue pumps are what is needed to create an amazing collaboration.

 Claire Danes is one of the confirmed guests of CBS as she is a star of their show 'Homeland.' I think that she would look absolutely stunning in this deep red J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2012 gown. It is such a simple gown, which is what I always love when Claire wears. She wore a gown that was custom created for her inspired by a more office attire style dress from this collection for the 2012 Golden Globe Awards, and earned herself a spot on the best dressed with it. I think that this color would look absolutely stunning on Claire with her fair skin and blonde hair. A matching clutch and strappy sandals would put her and this collection on the best dressed list again.

 Dakota Fanning has also been confirmed as a guest for the dinner. I have to say that Dakota has so much potential and most of the time she always falls flat. I have decided to put her in this stunning simple pale green Valentino Spring 2012 RTW gown. Now as you can see in the reference picture even a simple dress can be ruined by the wrong accessories and styling. I would pair this look with a metallic gold mirror clutch, gold strappy sandals, and a gold bracelet. To finish off this look she would need to pull her hair back into a tight pony tail and finish it off with simple make-up

 Elizabeth Banks is an unofficial brand ambassador for Versace so I will be very surprised if the stunning actress doesn't don a gown by Versace for this event. I have chosen to put her in this archive white Atelier Versace Spring 2010 Couture gown. I think that Elizabeth would look absolutely stunning in this, as I love her in white. I would pair this with a smokey grey crystal clutch and gunmetal strappy sandals.

 Jessica Alba loves herself some Ralph Lauren and this is rightfully so. She usually looks absolutely stunning in his designs. I would die a happy man if I get to see her in this minimal pink silk Ralph Lauren Spring 2012 RTW strapless gown. I think that this simple dress is right up Jessica's style. I think that she would wear her hair up almost like it is in the image on the left, add a silver crystal encrusted clutch, silver crystal encrusted sandals, and a stunning diamond necklace that would most likely drop down to the belly button.

And last but not least we have the Colombian sex goddess Sofia Vergara. Sofia wears Vera Wang for lots of major events, most recently the Golden Globes (she too also received a best dressed award). I would kill to see her don this amazing crimson Vera Wang Spring 2013 Bridal gown. This gown may actually be a bit much for this event but either way I still think that she would look absolutely stunning in it, weather she wears it now for for maybe the Emmy's. No clutch, red peep toes, and maybe some stunning earrings and a cuff would be all that are needed for this to be an absolutely stunning look, even though she would look stunning naked.
