Barack Obama Dress Hits Paris Runway

Obamafashion

Barack Obama also made an appearance at the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac 2009 ready-to-wear show in Paris, in the form of a sparkling canary yellow dress, complete with "Yes" glove. In the spirit of fairness, the model also wore a "No" glove on the other hand.

  1. Ah, to be a presidential candidate and a sex symbol. Well, I guess Kennedy and Clinton found themselves in that position too.

  3. "Beyond stupid looking!"

    J, you've got to be talking about the dresses. You cannot be referring to Jack, Bubba & Slim Jim....all three sexy and charming.

  10. READ!!!!

    i think that obama is going to be the best persint better then that macain guy his just like bush you guys gotta understand that macian want the war and all you people care about it geting something out of it,you dont care about the poeple that are fighting for us there are fathers,husmans,sons over all there are love ones there that are dying for us and familys that loses someone and a child loses a father and woman loses the love of her life and bush said there where boms and what the hell BOMS,AND THINGS? THAT NEVER
    WHERE REAL!
    are you kidding me he was lying and macain wans to keep it that way and lets not only think about us on the other side people are losing there homes thanks to us so if you CARE if you REALLY CARE about america as much as i do then you should vote obama for presidant and not that old macian guy with a chick who is full with emotions and crap she doesnt know what the latins needs SHE DOESNT KNOW ABOUT THE POOR PEOPLE SHE HAS NEVER LIVED THE POOR LIFE AND SHE DOESNT CARE ABOUT IT! AND A MODEL? WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO MAKE THE WORLD LOOK PRETTY MAYBE LET IT DO A RUNWAY WITH VINUS?

    so next time you old people that are like 90 should shut up because death is right around the coner and for teens like myself or adults pick whats best for other people dont think about yourself if you child was in war youd be freaking out right then imagine the mothers that sons are REALLY in war so please vote for obama and make a change.

  12. I am so tired of fashion/celebrity getting involved in politics. No one in those arenas has anything intelligent or lasting to say.

  13. Ahhh ,,, Castelbajac ... he does this stuff quite often .. he recently did an ode to Britannia with dresses with printed Queens and Alice in wonderland ... Ill admit this looks a bit Moschino, but this aint a surprise from Jean Charles ... u rock!

  14. I'm not impressed by any so-called "statement" from a hyprocritical industry that doesn't even acknowledge African American models, not to mention the $949,000,000 we spend yearly, the overall influence of blacks in terms of fashion and the industry as a whole.

    And a thin causcasian model modeling (exploiting)the image of Obama is supposed to make me think that they're oh so aware? Please pardon my righteous indignation.
