Michelle Obama, 48, is admired worldwide for her fantastic sense of style. She consistently wins a spot on our best dressed lists, but there is one designer in particular who is not too keen on her fashion sense. Designer Oscar de la Renta, 80, is no stranger to dressing First Families, but Michelle has yet to be included in his work. The designer is clearly not thrilled!

More On The Oscar de la Renta Michelle Obama Diss:

Oscar de la Renta has been popular with many past first ladies, including Betty Ford, Nancy Reagan, 91, Laura Bush, 66, and Hillary Clinton, 65. However, of our current first lady, he states, “It is a relation that began poorly and I think it will end the same way.” Looks like Michelle is on the outs in his book!

Though de la Renta does seem a bit bitter about their lack of business relations, he promises that he is not worried about dressing Michelle, because nowadays, it’s up to ordinary women too set the trends as opposed to celebrities. He explains, “an anonymous woman on the street is the woman who influences fashion today, not a movie star or a first lady.”

Despite this justification, de la Renta was one of very few to make a direct attack in dissing the cardigan that Michelle wore to meet Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace in 2009 — it looks like this fashion feud has been years in the making! Perhaps if Mrs. Obama changes her ways and decides to sport a de la Renta label, the designer will have a change of heart.

Do YOU think Oscar de la Renta was out of line in criticizing the First Lady? Comment and VOTE!

Disgraced designer John Galliano sent a strong message when he stepped out for the Oscar de la Renta Fall 2013 Fashion Show in NYC on Feb. 12, when he dressed in a Hasidic-inspired outfit. Wearing a hat, (which appears to be from the fall 2013 Galliano menswear collection), and long jacket with his hair curled in what looks like peyos, (or sidelocks), the designer’s outfit resembles traditional, Orthodox Jewish dress. Although he was just given a second chance and welcomed back into the fashion community by Oscar de la Renta, we have to question whether or not he has learned anything from the racist rant that cost him his head couturier post at Dior back in 2011 and shunned him from the fashion industry.

Galliano Was Shunned In 2011:

Galliano was fired from Christian Dior back in 2011 after a video of the designer spewing anti-Semitic remarks at a Paris cafe went viral. Following the release of the video, the designer was convicted of making racist insults and was ultimately shunned by the fashion industry — that is, until last month, when designer Oscar de la Renta offered the disgraced designer a chance to make amends.

Oscar de la Renta Gives Galliano A Second Chance:

de la Renta invited Galliano to work with him in his midtown studio in NYC in January, where he had a hand in the gorgeous Fall 2013 collection that debuted on the runway last night.

While Galliano’s spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg told the NY Post, “Your accusations are not at all correct,” the Hasidic-looking outfit definitely has us questioning Galliano’s efforts to make amends with the Jewish community and the fashion industry. Sure, the designer is known for his eccentric dressing, but this definitely wasn’t the best look for someone trying to make a comeback in NYC.

“If it was just anyone else, I wouldn’t know what to say,” Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind told the NY Post. “But considering who this guy is, considering his background and what he’s said in the past, let him explain it to all of us: Are you mocking us?”

What do you think of Galliano’s controversial outfit? Do you think he’s just dressing in his eccentric ways or do you think he set out trying to offend?

Sarah Jessica Parker rocked Oscar de la Renta’s elegant tweed print gown when she stepped out at Carnegie Hall for the opening night gala on Oct. 3. At first glance this gown may seem a little under-par for an opening night gala, but when seen up close and personal, you can notice the beauty of the silver embroidery throughout. With a print as busy as this tweed number, it is important to tastefully accessorize.

While her statement necklace is so pretty, it was a bit too bulky for this ensemble — it takes away from the soft look of the frock! If she wore a dainty necklace, the clutter would have been eliminated and this look would be more refined. She finished off her get-up with a snake-skin Pierre Hardy bag.

While she looks so stunning, we think she should have listened to the motto, less is more! Do you agree?
