Three women experienced their worst holiday nightmare following Sunday’s Kennedy Center Honors when they showed up to the White House reception wearing the same $8,500 red Oscar de la Renta dress as First Lady Laura Bush.
Unfortunately they were not promoting Bono’s (RED) campaign.
Laura Bush went upstairs and changed mid-party. CBS News talked to Letitia Baldridge, Jacqueline Kennedy’s Chief of Staff and White House social secretary: “They all should have congratulated one another on their good taste and the fact that they could afford the dress.” As for Mrs. Bush, Baldridge noted: “[Changing outfits] was the right thing to do, take the heat off the other women.”
