December 7, 2010 : Bloggers have gone on an overdrive about how a daring neckline of a guest was the cynosure of attention and not Michelle Obama. This was one of the very rare moments when the First Lady of the U.S. was overshadowed when it came to fashion. And the lucky woman to have done so was none other than Oprah Winfrey.
This 56-year-old television show host was at the White House during the reception of the Kennedy Center honorees. Oprah had taken special care to dress up that evening as she sported a long chocolate brown skirt with a low cut white shirt. She had jazzed up this outfit with a black belt. The credit for stealing the show goes to Oprah’s plunging neckline. She was looking stunning as she walked in with her long time partner, Stedman Graham.
Michelle Obama, on the other hand, was wearing a beige and maroon sleeveless gown and was clearly not as noticed as Oprah.
Barack Obama said that the honorees were not recognized because they were talented; but rather because they have the power to bring everyone together with their talent.
The other guests that evening were Julia Roberts, Beatle’s Paul McCartney, Claire Danes, Chris Rock, the dancer Bill T Jones, Jerry Herman the Broadway composer and Merle Haggard the singer.
