Everyone always talks about Michelle Obama being this generation’s Jackie O. Yes, JFK’s wife wore multi-strand pearl necklaces but when I see Mrs. O using her double strand of pearls to create different looks I think of Princess Diana. The royal beauty had just about every type of pearl necklace imaginable and wore them all around the world: a choker in Australia, jeweled in the United States, a classic single strand in Canada, twisted in Italy, gray in Japan and all of the above in England. After her scandalous divorce, the Princess of Wales stopped dressing matchy-matchy and displayed a fashion confidence very similar to Michelle Obama’s. Like our first lady, Lady Di also showed she had the “right to bare arms.” Above, you can see her wearing an oversized pearl necklace with a sleeveless sheath. Sound familiar?
On Michelle…
