"What First Ladies wear and how they present themselves...
...took a lot of flak for what she wore to meet the Queen. She did. I sort of thought it was Oscar de la Renta who ignited that. He gave an interview to Women's Wear Daily where he basically said, No one wears a sweater to see the Queen, or something like that.
