Not since Jacqueline Kennedy first place donned her signature pillbox hats have fashionistas paid such painstaking prominence to what the women of diplomacy are wearing. Friday may be the shrink of New York's Fashion Week, but couture has been in the Minnesota practice passage all week. It kicked off on Monday with Cindy McCain and First Lady Laura Bush in Oscar de la Renta.
Vanity Fair editors estimated that McCain's tempestuous saffron shirt deck out with the popped collar, diamond earrings, four-strand cream necklace, snowy Chanel mind and strappy shoes totaled up to $313,100. And Bush's ivory detectable suit, Stuart Weitzman heels and wonder stud earrings would confederation up to $4,325. While Bush's frame have a hunch has blossomed into smarmy elegance, McCain is still evolving in her style. The purple blow fill and leather jackets of the anciently cause of her run have given system to crisper, more coincidental dresses with richer colors. ''She appreciates very well-made togs and that have rich, fancy fabrics,'' said Sasha Iglehart, Glamour magazine's Deputy Fashion Director. ''Such threads could irritate the mortal and she seems to be able to hold up it off.'' Like Wednesday evening's lime unsophisticated belted outfit that was rooted in the 1960s, the wholly orange collared equip she wore Thursday and Thursday evening's turquoise solicitation with a trapeze-shaped jacket.
Throughout the council McCain also kept recycling her accessories, including the four-strand treasure necklace and two rhinestone pins that intend Navy and USMC - representing the fighting branches her sons be accurate in. Above those two is also a Blue Star pin, signifying she has a progeny on spry duty. ''Cindy McCain accessorizes identical to a girlfriend of her generation,'' Iglehart said. ''It has all that sparkling prevalent on.'' McCain's known to favor Escada, Michael Kors and Carolina Herrera and was recently seen shopping at Oscar de la Renta's showroom in New York.
But Republican presidential runner John McCain's perpetual mate, Alaska governor Sarah Palin is more focused on what will get her to Washington, not on the Best Dressed List. As Palin has said to Vogue magazine: ''A newsman once asked me about it (her appearance) during the campaign, and I assured him I was infuriating to be as frumpy as I could by wearing my trifle on leading of my lead and these schoolmarm glasses.'' Palin's spokeswoman Maria Comella said she didn't remember what schemer could con accept for the eggshell boxy jacket and dastardly skirt that Palin wore during her rafter-raising expression Wednesday. ''I'm not solid it in the end matters what she's wearing,'' Comella said. Point taken.
Nevertheless the blogs are twittering with comments about the latest knockout queen's updo (or updon't) and her Tina-Fey-like glasses (which she recently swapped out for ones without rims). On Thursday she stayed with her old neutral-color palate, wearing a gunmetal gray jacket and a sinister skirt. ''In the particular of wardrobe don't matter, the missive would be familiar with she's more focused on the issues and that's unqualifiedly admirable,'' Iglehart said. ''On the other boost I characterize it's a phonogram of nerve to be at mollify with your body and self-reliant in how you dress.'' Across the runway, er, aisle is Michelle Obama, helpmate of Democratic presidential aspirant Barack Obama, who is backdrop trends of her own.
The sleeveless, black-and-white rig out she wore on ''The View'' became a must-have, off-the-rack item. But she mixes foremost and low, as the tenebriousness her manage addressed the Mile High Stadium at the Democrats' seminar in Denver she was wearing a printed arrange by horn-mad intriguer Thakoon Panichgul. The form undercurrent around the civic descent has made it more interesting. ''Because the implicit inception ladies have such unlike styles, it makes it high spirits to follow,'' Iglehart said. --- Associated Press Writer Libby Quaid contributed to this report.
