I love that Necklace that Michelle Obama wore with her Black Dress


The Jewelry was made by Irish Jewelry Designer Tom Binns with a cheaper version at $875. I'm going to assume in about a week or so I can find a similiar version on Ebay for less than $100.

BTW, the Queen - for 80+ years old she looked great in that beaded dress

2. It looks like what happens when I throw a bunch of necklaces together
in the jewelry box and then I can't get them untangled. Didn't care for it much. But the dress was great.

13. I love the old school broaches, almost always rhinestones.

5. It's jazzy 21st century style befitting this realtively young country's youthful leaders.
She's da bombe.

18. And, if that's the case? So what?
What's your point? I doubt that necklace costs anywhere near that much, since they look like rhinestones. And, just because she's wearing it, it doesn't mean she owns it.

12. It's great how FLOTUS gives a nod to local designers when she can
The Tom Binn (Ireland) necklace
The Alexander McQueen (England) belt she wore at Oxford yesterday
The Tom Ford (design house in London) dress she wore to the State Dinner on Tuesday

She gives a boost to new and affordable designers as well. Fashion with a message.

16. Yessss! I noticed the necklace before anything else.
It is gorgeous perfection! And I'm not one to get into jewellery at all. But this is ART. :)

19. I always notice her jewelry. It's always different and pleasing to me
She has her own style and I find that to be part of how elegant I think she is. I don't always agree with her choices but I love that she makes those choices.

22. That necklace is one of the gaudiest pieces of jewelry I've ever seen!!!
And what is that thing she's got on her wrist? A portable helicopter?

She does look pretty, though, in that dress.
