From Jackie O to Michelle Obama, first
ladies are stylish, formidable women. Here’s
a look at stylish first ladies - pinups in
the white house.
First Ladies are usually
not regarded by their sexuality as their job
is of real substance. Most of them weren’t
beautiful, or fashionable (a fact that would
change with the coming of the television into
every American home). But some were, And
others had fantastic photographic moments.
Martha Washington - The First
Lady
Wife of George
Washington, Martha Washington was the
first First Lady. She was the first to
define the job and make it a meaningful
one. We may be used to the white-haired
matronly image of Mrs. Washington, but
this painting reveals a graceful and
proud woman with her best frocks on.
Defiantly a formidable role- model for
First Ladies to come.
Grace Anna Goodhue Coolidge - The First
Flapper
Known for her fun
personality and warm friendliness, Grace
Coolidge was very active in her
husband’s career. She would offset his
reserved manner. These images show off a
fashionably iconic Mrs. Coollidge, with
tightly cropped hair and a straight-cut
gown, up to date with the flapper
fashions of the time.
Mamie Doud Eisenhower - The First Girly
Lady
Not a beautiful
woman by any stretch of the imagination,
Mamie Eisenhower enters this list for
her extravagant and girly sense of
style. All so 50’s, I just had to
include her. The gloves, the strapless
poodle gowns- gourgeous!
And here’s one from 1916, Mamie Eisenhower at
age 19, showing off an early girly sense of
style with a humble, frilly wedding dress:
Jacqueline Kennedy - First Fashion Icon
First Lady
Some say the
presidency has become a celebrity
mockery. Some seem to forget the very
photographed Jacqueline Kennedy. Never
before has a First Lady been so
imitated. An indisputably beautiful
woman and fashion icon. Always dressed
to a tee and a trend-setter with the
most impeccable taste.
Nancy Reagan - X Pinup
Nancy Reagan wasn’t
a young chicklet, when she reached the
White House and I can’t say I’m a big
fan of her conservative garb. To Mrs.
Reagan’s advantage, she did know how to
glam it up and unlike any other First
Lady Mrs. Reagan was truly a pinup.
Michelle Obama - The Latest First
Lady
Michelle Obama was what sparked the idea for
this article. Never since Jacqueline Kennedy
did a first lady show off such an up to date,
imitate-able fashion sense. From Mrs.
President to casual Michelle to party girl to
queen of the night, the current First lady is
showing off a fashion sense which has class,
variety,personality and many followers:
