Designers Eye Michelle Obama

Top fashion designers are lining up to help Michelle Obama decide what to wear when she becomes first lady on inauguration day next month.

Industry watcher Women’s Wear Daily published 34 sketches Wednesday by designers including Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Christian Lacroix and Karl Lagerfeld, artist director at French luxury powerhouse Chanel.

These range from jacket-skirt combinations for when she attends her husband president-elect Barack Obama’s outdoor swearing-in ceremony on January 20 to glamorous gowns for the evening ball.

Oscar de la Renta even sketches dresses for daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, seven.

“There’s been heated debate in the last two weeks over what the lovely Mrs. O should wear to the inaugural ball in January…, but before she goes to the ball, there’s the inauguration ceremony itself to consider,” Women’s Wear Daily said.

Madonna’s Argentina Gig Delayed

Pop superstar Madonna’s opening concert Wednesday night in Buenos Aires has been postponed to Monday because her equipment and wardrobe did not arrive in time, an event organizer told AFP.

“Madonna’s producers told (River Plate Club) management that Wednesday’s show has been suspended, and asked it be moved to next Monday, because some of her equipment and wardrobe have not arrived,” a club official said.

He said a Boeing 747 with more than 100,000 kilograms of equipment was stranded in Panama and was scheduled to land in Buenos Aires Wednesday night, the organizers said in a statement.

Madonna is scheduled to hold four concert of her “Sticky & Sweet Tour” at the River Plate soccer stadium.
