High Wattage Glamour

Check out our first lady on the cover of the upcoming issue of Glamour magazine. Breathtaking!

Glamour is honoring First Lady Mrs. O with a Special Recognition Award for her commitment to mentoring young women in the magazine's Women of the Year issue. Read more, including a full Q&A with Mrs. O, here.

Now, who made that fabulous dress and necklace?! Update: We may not find out. We hope this isn't the case. From the AP:

"On the Glamour cover she's in her own drop-waist, red cocktail dress with a modified ballskirt and a chunky, bow-inspired necklace. The outfit was from her own closet, and no designer will be credited in the magazine."

The designers responsible for these creations - both the necklace and dress - should get credit. They are gorgeous!

Update: Mrs. O wears a Jason Wu dress and a FENTON by Dana Lorenz necklace.

First Lady Mrs. O is taking part in the Healthy Kids Fair on the South Lawn of the White House today. The event promotes exercise and healthy eating for children, and Mrs. O is getting right in the action - jumping rope, hula hooping and running barefoot through an obstacle course. Click here to read Mrs. O's remarks from the event (including Mrs. O's confession that she has a "good relationship with french fries" - in moderation, of course!).

On the style front, Mrs. O is wearing a black dot twist front tank with eyelash trim by Jason Wu, paired with a blue cardigan belted at the waist. Slim black pants complete the look, accessorized with a set of bangle bracelets.

New White House photos on Flickr provide a second look at our favorite dresses of recent weeks.

In the top photo, Mrs. O wears a sequinned Michael Kors frock, worn for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's 32nd Annual Awards Gala in Washington, D.C.

In the second photo, Mrs. O wears a cobalt blue dress by Jason Wu as she meets former Olympic gymnast Nadia Comaneci. Note the fantastic detail on the crocodile print fabric.

Update #1: We've also added a photo from the gymnastics demonstration that took place on the White House lawn in mid-September. Grazia Fashion has reported that Mrs. O's skirt is Erdem, noting that the designer is "known for his painterly approach to print and colour, and elegant ladylike tailoring." We recall that someone from Mrs-O.org spotted the designer as Erdem a few weeks ago and noted it in the comments. Please remind us who - we'd like to give you recognition!

Update #2: That person is Ari. Hooray!
