Strapless and Streamlined - Michelle Obama Does it Again
Michelle Obama continues to inspire us with her classic looks, and by all reviews she knocked it out of the park again last night at the first State dinner. Not only are designers and fashion magazines failing to find a flaw, the general public also loved it. At last glance, an ongoing reader survey on Huffington Post.com recorded 86% of readers in favor of her floor-length, champagne-colored gown with silver detail by Indian American designer Naeem Khan.
If you enjoyed Michelle's gown last night, and covet this style for your wedding, we think you'll love the Nicole Miller bridal style. Check out these Nicolle Miller alternatives we've found.
First up is a stunning Beaded Lace Bridal Gown (style number FD0002). It captures the same streamlined shape as Michelle's gown and uses intricate details to keep the gown interesting. Delicate beading and layers of lace are generally more forgiving and figure flattering in a slim A-line bodice and skirt as the added texture helps to hide problem areas.
If you're less interested in beading, but love the champagne and gold touches of Michelle's gown, you'll love style C00032. The material is called Stretch Metal and provides an ever so slightly crinkled look to add texture while you stay comfortable from ceremony to reception.
Last but certainly not least is style KY0006. Again, this gown is a soft flowing yet slim A-line silhouette but features beading to give it a tiny bit of shine, similar to Michelle Obama's dress. It also comes with a built in corset.
