Isaac Mizrahi: Michelle Obama Looked "Exquisitely Beautiful" in My Dress

Forget the State of the Union address. For one designer, the president's Wednesday night speech was all about Michelle Obama's State of the Union dress!
Fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi took to his video blog to rave about the "exquisitely beautiful" First Lady -- who happened to be wearing one of his frocks.

"She looked beautiful last night," Mizrahi said while holding up a photo of the raisin-colored long-sleeved dress. "It was the right dress at the right moment, which is what fashion is all about."
The New York City-based designer -- who said he "managed to casually bring up the State of the Union address about seventeen times and Mrs. Obama about eighteen times" at the gym earlier that day -- went on to recount the dress' positive reviews.
Look back at the Obamas' first 100 days in the White House
"It was like the politics of the clothes," he said. "She was saying, 'Not left, not right.' It was kind of like a bipartisan dress. George Stephanopoulos said how interesting it was that she was in a kind of purple-y color, which is a blend of red and blue. Love that."
Mizrahi also admired her choice in picking a "plain and elegant" outfit that she could "roll up the sleeves and get to work" in.
See all the fashion at President Barack Obama's inaugural ball last year
"All that from some silk and some knit!" he said.
It wasn't just his creation he was pleased with while watching the State of the Union.
"Forget the dress, the new bob is divine," he said of Obama's sleek hairstyle, which she debuted earlier this month.

21sometimes you guys make me embarrased to be white...if this was a white women you would barely pay her attention but since they are black you cant find nothing nice to say. i hate racist that hide behind computers and spit hate all day i bet you wouldnt say that to there faces. i say this is 2010 if you cant deal with GOOD PEOPLE running the white house move the hell out of the United States! also the person named NOT you stated that she was large...uh you must be anorexic and read alot of teen magazines because she is not large. ou have issues as well. not everyone has to wear a size 1. im a size 5 am i LARGE TO! lol. stop being ignorant....
well some of u don't like her figure, but it looks perfectly fine to me... Obama loves her and that is what matters
That is the best I have ever seen her look. As far as the "he gets lost looking" comment,are you trying to make me vomit? Everything that man does is for the camera, just like every other high ranking politician. Like I said though, that's the best I've seen her look, nothing spectacular but at least they were able to tone down her masculine features. She wants to be Jackie, that will never happen. Jackie was educated, beautiful, graceful, strong yet delicate. Michelle is strong, fit and educated, but far from beautiful.
She looks beautiful in just about everything she wears. Cute to see how he looks at her, like he just gets lost looking.
she does not look good in anything. I bet she has to keep her hubby on a tight rope too; did you see the way she snubbed him after he came back to the dinner table after dancing with the young a Latino girl, that was the night that the White House held Latino music night. WOW, she turned her back on him right in front of everyone!!!
"Robin" commenting below about people needing to get an education is too funny! First, he/she (Robin is a non-gender-specific name, btw) wrote: I had to scoop to your level - Just how do you "SCOOP" to someone's level? Then he/she wrote: You are a drop out to society - Which is clearly an awkward phrase. Clearly, "Robin" is trying to hide behind assumed intelligence. Robin, dear, did you even graduate high school???
I think Mizrahi forgot his glasses....
Hey wasn't he the same designer who felt up ScarJo?? And ScarJo claimed she was not thrilled w/it?/ why didn't she slap him if she was so upset??and what's the big deal- EVERY guy has felt her up-or did more than that w/her- before she married Ryan. Ryan Reynolds married a SLUT!! I bet ScarJo enjoyed Isaac's attentions- even though she SAYS she didn't...just like she never f***ed Benicio del Toro in an elevator...

And, this comment is for ''get them out'' you are a loser, by posting this on a celebrity website...get some class..better yet, a fu@#ing education!! You are a drop out to society, how about we get you out of this country...dumb as*!!!
You people are soo bitter and racist! And, yes you are racist!!! But, too bad you can only hide behind a computer screen and never say this out loud...shut up, and I hope when you face the good lord in judgement, and get cast straight to hell!!!! It's a pity, I had to scoop to your level right now by writing back to you, idiots!! You guys are the SCUMS of AMERICA!!!
Get these idiots out of the white house. BIG LOSERS!!!
Sorry, nice dress but so not on her. She is too large. Not to mention, she is undeserving of her position just like her 1/2 black husband of some background we are unaware of. Not liking them AT ALL.
This picture does not do her justice, she looked exquisite on tv.
I don't understand why people are critcizing her. She looks nice in the dress and thats all that matters. In response to "SoonerGirl", why does it have to be about money? You make it seem like she uses all of her money and time and dedicates it to her appearance. She is simply a fashionable woman who likes to look good. People would shun her if she looked a mess; she can't win! Leave her alone. She's beautiful, she wears nice clothes and she looks great in them. She's not Jackie O, "o" and I honestly don't think she wants to be. And whats wrong with the way she walks "Me"? She walks gracefully, as a woman should. You're just finding ANYTHING to say and your words have no weight. Let the lady be!
Elsa..funny how you would think she has a brain. She is a product of affirmative action or as smart people like myself see refer to it as institutionalzed racism. She was given the opportunity to become a lawyer, and how do you come to your conclusion that all lawyers are smart? Pretty stupid of you. And how classy and elegant of you to refer to the Bush girls as bimbos? these girls are teachers, authors and passionate about bringing forth a better life for African woman and children. You must be a racist. Despite being busted in college for underage drinking, as most college students have, you refer to only the girls who drink as bimbos? That makes you nothing more than a pu*a...right. Keep sucking up to Obama and his agenda...you might be comfortable living in the US of Venezuela.
I think many many women could look "exquisitely" beautiful if they had the money that Michelle Obama has to spend on clothes, hairdressers, manicurists, beauty procedures, etc. While she is NOT a woman of exquisite beauty, she usually looks quite nice but MONEY makes the difference between her and most women! Let's get real here~!
Of course she looks beautiful, Isaac, you design for monkeys!
She's too bottom heavy for that dresss. Jackie Kennedy she is NOT.
she is classy and elegant...she is not pretty but attractive...a good example...but she does have a brain and the public and media should accept that...and respect her work with children...remember she was a lawyer...the family is totally different from the bimbo bushes...
