Do we care? Even a tiny bit? Nope.

You don’t even have standing to post about her. Go back to posting your shitty shoe recommendations and wringing your hand about a twenty something being “goth” because she wears black. No one looks to you for style.

You seem triggered. Maybe step away from the internet for a while.

Nah, I have actual taste. Please post some of your Nordstrom Rack uh scores that let you think you’re somehow attractive or besting the subject of this thread. I’m dying to see your taste in action.

Separately — Why is Michelle Obama being dragged into this, especially her book tour style when she was in her 50s and had two kids in college? That has nothing to do with a 28 year old on a more limited budget who works in the arts and is rather suddenly under the political microscope.

Also, she does kind of look like Audrey Hepburn if Audrey Hepburn was Syrian - the hair, eyes, etc... not the style.

tl;dr - If you're weirded out by her, you're no longer "with the times." It happens.

This is hilarious. This is exactly what these young adults think other people think about their basic and utterly predictable "edgy vibe" look. They think they are unique yet they somehow manage to all look the same. Nobody is put off by it or weirded out, they've seen it a hundred times before.

PP didn't say that it was a "unique" look...she said it is on-trend for younger women in NYC. You can like the trend or not, but she pulls it off well IMHO. And it is an unusual look for a political wife.

Pulls it off like it’s a stylistic feat? It’s practically a uniform.

I thought her election night outfit was a nice balance between personalized (the designer, the denim) and classic (black and fairly conservative). You had to look for all the edgy details. I personally just enjoy that kind of fashion dissection.

This is the best image I could find. Are there better ones?

My god, that cheesy grin/wrinkled nose thing he does is just awful. Literally makes my skin crawl. And she just looks odd and goth.

She looks goth? Lololol

+1 Wearing black doesn't make you goth. Try going to NYC or Paris and learning about what people actually wear there--particularly the artsy set.

Queens is no Paris. 😂

Again - you really need to take a break, Rama. Now that you’re in the public eye (and married to a total lighting rod of a politician), you’re going to be critiqued. Sorry!

It would be a waste of time because political wives aren't fashion icons. They are supposed to not bring attention to themselves and blend in to the background nicely. Isn't that what Michelle O said? She wasn't able to fully express herself with fashion. Who wants to emulate women who are repressed in their style as subservient wives?

Right, because Michelle Obama’s actual style is so covetable!

^^ This was sarcasm, btw, for the poster who thought this look was in any way covetable.

Oh, this is hilarious. Are you the complete ahole who tears apart every single outfit on a certain someone married to the VP? Trust - no one is looking to you for style tips.

Not covetable, but at least unique. I mean, I wouldn't be caught dead in it, but kudos to her for not giving a shit. You can't identify what borough she comes in with her basic, dark color, forgettable, look. Better that than the urban version of the midwest Pumpkin Spice Latte autumn chic.

Imagine your skin crawling because of someone's genuine smile. And then calling this look "goth!" It'a like a half step away from calling her "dark." My god is right!

Um, are you ok? That’s quite a leap you made there. “Goth” is a style of dressing, not a skin color. But your race-baiting is duly noted! And yes - his smile is aggressively cheerful and forced. Completely creepy.

I mean… her coloring is dark, and people are calling her “goth” as if she is doing it on purpose. People with goth look dye their hair black or wear dark makeup. I sense a weird racist undercurrent too.

Of course you do. I would expect nothing less from Rama or her friends. Goth is a style, dimwit.

When you call someone with naturally dark hair and dark eyes "goth" just because they happen to be wearing black, sorry, something about that seems very off.

No need to call others dimwit.

Marie Claire?? I thought they had gone the way of the dodo.

It's online only, like a lot of other publications now. Again, sorry, where is the article highlighting you as a fashion authority?

It is a style but nowhere near how she dresses. Are you seriously saying you think she is goth? No one is debating it's style. It's just 100% not her style.

You have got to be kidding, but sadly I know you’re deadly serious. Her coloring has zero to do with her goth style, which consists of heavy eyeliner and dark clothes. But do continue trying to concoct a racial slant where there is none.

From your link:
“Duwaji's,(clothing) by contrast, look copied and pasted from the streets of Brooklyn”

Spot on. Copied and pasted. Nothing original about it - it’s cosplaying.

Can you please put together a stunning and original outfit and explain why you chose each component, with links? You seem to be very conversant with style terms and I’m sure there’s a lot you could teach everyone here. Please don’t hesitate to start, you seem to have the time.

That’s not what the author was indicating - it wasn’t a critique at all.

Some of you are shitting yourselves relentlessly that a young couple, not part of any real dynasty nor white, will be representing the most important and influential city in the country for a few years. It’s interesting, eh?
