WASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama has gone under Tim Gunn’s fashion microscope and gotten an approving nod, but not all first ladies fared as well — Hillary Rodham Clinton among them.
Gunn and a panel of fashion experts reviewed the fashion sense of the nation’s first ladies at a National Archives forum Tuesday, and found plenty of do’s and don’ts.
Gunn rated Mrs. Obama’s style sense as “divine.” Jacqueline Kennedy he deemed a “style-setter.”
As for possible future administrations, Gunn said Clinton has been looking “very presidential lately.”
But designer Tracy Reese said Clinton’s “appearance is down on the list.”
Valerie Steele, director of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, said Clinton’s signature style from her days as first lady was “the famous pantsuit and the hair problems.”
