A Twinkle in the Eye of Classic Style

Mrs. O was channeling style with a twist last night in Tennessee, as she wore a classic red shift dress, with witty additions from the front diamante bows, to the exposed metallic zip at the back. The capped sleeve dress was beautifully cut with sculpting seams at the back, accentuating the figure and the silver flash of the zip gave bite. Below the scooped front neckline, encrusted ribbon bows offered some sparkling up light to her face, as she shook hands around the Tennessee studio and excused the need for any extra jewelry. Mrs. O’s dress was complimented by a pair of sharp patent sling backs in a close, but not exactly matching, red. Our fashion insider believes the dress is Maria Pinto.
Update: The dress is Narciso Rodriguez. This has been 100% confirmed.

It's definitely not Maria Pinto -- I called to ask this a.m. http://snipurl.com/46fn6
Mrs. Obama looked fabulous in that red dress! I'd love to have one!
I love Narciso's work. Fabulous. Mrs. O's style is authentic. She rocks. I love your site.
