The Best-Dressed Decade 2000-2010

“I love clothes,” First Lady Michelle Obama told Vogue in 2009. “I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion.” Obama has brought to the White House a sense of stle excitement not been since the Kennedy’s Camelot. She has summed up the best of the decade’s fashion, showcasing the work of America’s thrilling young designers as well as European and Japanese mavericks, and proved the democratization of fashion with her sophisticated high-street choices.

    Met Gala: The best theme dressing throughout the years

    Each spring we look forward to the opulent red-carpet display that takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala and the dresses that will grace its steps the first Monday in May. The evening is never short on grandeur, but there’s always a few artistically minded guests who go the extra mile and dress with the year’s exhibit wholeheartedly in mind—donning a look that not only impresses but more than tips its perfectly considered hat to the theme.
