Michelle Obama wearing Loree Rodkin

As visions of Camelot dance in our heads, first-lady-in-waiting Michelle Obama’s wardrobe is getting a lot of attention. Could she be fashion’s new Jackie O? Her election night ensemble, a straight-from-the-runway red and black dress by Narcisco Rodriguez didn’t get unanimous approval from the fashion police. But can we all agree the diamond earrings were spectacular? Loree Rodkin designed the 18k white gold and diamond triple dangles with oval, marquee and pear shapes which retail for $10,275. The earrings combine the new medallion silhouette with flattering movement that really caught the light on stage at Grant Park in Chicago. Michelle wore an elegant stack of what appeared to be silver and diamond bangles too. Right on trend.

But so far, Michelle’s strongest impact on today’s jewelry trends is bringing back the brooch. It’s a recession-proof lesson on personalizing your style: she uses stylish large brooches to dress up simple affordable outfits from national chains like White House Black Market, which she wore on The View, and J. Crew, which she wore on The Tonight Show. (J. Crew’s web traffic increased 464 percent!) Many of her pins are from Erickson Beamon. If she keeps expressing her own style through accessorizing, she’ll become a true style icon and a boost for the jewelry business. Not to mention a sought-after customer! Unlike stars on the red carpet, Michelle owns the jewelry and clothing she wears, including those stylish Loree Rodkin earrings, seen close-up below, which would be perfect for an inaugural ball, don’t you think?
