Michelle Obama fashion Award at CFDA New York

Heidi Klum looks up Molly Sims skirt at the CFDA awards
The Council of Fashion Designers of America last night gave a  special tribute award to our celebrity fashion favourite, First Lady Michell Obama.  Recognising Ms Obama’s “meteoric rise as a fashion icon,” CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg praised her “unique look that balances the duality of her lives”. Michelle Obama acts as trusted adviser and consort to her husband, President Barack Obama, as well as being the busy mother of  their two daughters.

Supermodel Heidi Klum arrived wearing a slinky bacofoil-style Michael Kors asymmetrical dress that covered her baby bump neatly.  Fellow model Molly Sims was so taken with the expectant Mum’s look that she kissed the bump.  In return, Heidi was fascinated by the huge petticoats and underskirts on Molly Sims’ strapless full-skirted Marilyn Monroe print prom dress by Dolce & Gabbana. Klum lifted the skirt to check just how many petticoats Sims was wearing!

Michelle Obamas celebrity fashion style is acknowledged by the CFDA
Ms Obama accepted her award via a pre-taped video speech. Wearing a crisp white button-down shirt and two strands of pearls, she spoke of fashion as an American “art form” with “ingenuity and craftsmanship that contribute so much to our economy and culture.” Several of Michelle Obama’s favourite designers were present at the awards ceremony, including Jason Wu and Thakoon Panichgul, although neither designer was recognised at last night’s ceremony.

Other celebrity guests at last night’s hot celebrity ticket in New York included Claire Danes, Ashley Olsen, Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Trachtenberg and Diane Kruger, as well as “Twilight” hunk Taylor Lautner and “Gossip Girl” actress Blake Lively.
