Michelle Obama’s Buckingham Palace Style

May 25, 2011 @ 4:30 pm

Michelle Obama attended a state dinner at Buckingham Palace last night, where the first lady proved that she’s mastered trans-Atlantic style! Obama wore a white Tom Ford evening gown with crisscrossed straps, which she accessorized with an elegant updo, glittery Cathy Waterman drop earrings and ivory gloves—a formal dress code must. Although Tom Ford is an American designer, his headquarters are in London and he shows his women’s collections exclusively in London and New York, making her outfit choice a diplomatic one! Click through the gallery to see the rest of the looks Michelle Obama packed for her European vacation, including the outfit she wore to meet Kate Middleton.

Pittsburgh Steelers’ Wide Receiver Hines Ward and his professional dance partner Kym Johnson samba’d their way to the DWTS trophy last night, beating out runners-up Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy and third-place winners Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas. Ward, sporting Steelers colors, received 10′s across the board from all three judges. Not bad for someone who didn’t even go to his prom because of his dancing nerves!  Both of the other teams also received all 10′s, forcing the decision to come down to the fans’ votes. “Steeler Nation and all the fans were just great,” Ward told Good Morning America this morning. Who did you vote for? Tell us in the comments!

Transformation: Oprah Winfrey

May 25, 2011 @ 11:30 am

Today marks the end of Oprah Winfrey‘s 25-year run as the queen of daytime talk shows. To mark the occasion, we’ve rounded up her most iconic hair and makeup looks! Winfrey has sported many hairstyles over the course of her career—from feathered bobs to shaggy chops—and gone modern minimalist to super glamorous in her makeup. “I carry more than a thousand lipsticks to her photo shoots and shows because she always wants a new color,” said her longtime makeup artist Reggie Wells, who has used everything from burgundy to tangerine on Winfrey’s pout. But her mouth isn’t doing all the work. “She has the most expressive eyes,” Wells noted. “They also speak volumes.” And despite the fact that she’s retiring from her show, Oprah shows no signs of slowing down. As Wells has said, “She’s still full of energy and inspires everyone around her.” Click through the gallery to see her transformation!
