-the outfit-
She wears a feminine midi white floral cocktail dress by Ingie Paris.

-the context-
Almost all of pictures you see on websites are Rachida wearing black on black every time, so it was hard to find out colorful outfits like this dress. Daily choices are suits and blazer, pants style, and sexy and aggressive high-heels.

-the meaning-
Ingie Paris is a french brand, it means, as one of representatives of French politicians who participated an event in Cannes, how wonderfully prominent French clothes are like known for “Paris collection” by wearing own country’s dress.

-my reaction-
I am kind of jealous that she wears this dress well in her age 49 years old. She really looks gorgeous, also feminine.

-my reaction-
It’s not easy to try that vivid pink polka dots dress like teenagers in her age. I love how strong she doesn’t care about what others think.

It could be said that Hillary represent

-my reaction-
Dislike other First Lady, Hillary wanted her husband to be a president, also herself to be a politician as well. Therefore she knows how does she stands out in public, how does audience concentrate on. I like her pant-suits of course, I respect her sense to figure out situations.

・The outfits
Feminine white one-shoulder column dress by Jason Wu. She also wears sparkling diamond earrings, bracelets, and rings.

・The context
She took part in inaugural ball at the Smithsonian’s national museum of American History beginning with her husband on March, 2010.

・The meaning
Appointing Jason Wu who is a Taiwanese-Canadian designer means supporting designers whose nationality are not based in the US or immigrants.

Immigrant issues are one of the most important problems that should be solved immediately in the nation. An article said “The United States was built, in part, by immigrants—and the nation has long been the beneficiary of the new energy and ingenuity that immigrants bring.” According to a survey, 44.9 million immigrants comprised 14 percent of the national population in 2019 (Smithsonian, 2010). Therefore, wearing something by immigrant designers can express associations that helps them and make them live together.

・My reaction

Feminine mini flowers and sparkling decorations make her stands out not just as first lady, she looks  pretty younger than her ages. Also bare arms shows positive and strong personality as well. I like it.

-The outfit-
She wears stylish white maxi dress by Tom Ford with white gloves. Also she caring silver mini bag and diamond earrings.

-The context-
First Lady Michelle Obama had a dinner with President Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, and the duke Edinburgh in the music room at Buckingham palace on May, 2011.

-The meaning-
First of all, that dress was designed by Tom Ford which is a American fashion brand. Wearing own country’s clothings are one of the most common rules in diplomacy.
Secondly, white gown for Michelle Obama is similar to Hubert de Givenchy's pale ice blue gown for Jackie O who is a First Lady and a wife of John F. Kennedy. Jackie had a dinner with Queen at Buckingham palace in June 1961 as well. It reminds queen and audience the history of America’s First Lady and diplomatic relationship between The UK and The US.

-My reaction-
I love this outfits best ever of all her look-books because dress itself looks really good on her, has exact background and meaning with the dress simultaneously.
