Michelle Obama's Post-White House Style Evolution Now Includes a Sparkly Bustier

By
Slide 1 of 7: If you've been watching Michelle Obama's style transformation since the former FLOTUS left the White House, you'll notice her gravitating toward more laid-back silhouettes, statement heels (remember those Balenciaga boots?!), and lots more sparkle. It's the sartorial equivalent of someone letting their hair down, and with each appearance, our favorite first lady solidifies her second act - as a book author, yes, and a stylish force with something new to say. This time, she's saying it with a bold, purple, custom Sergio Hudson pantsuit and a sexy bustier peeking out underneath. For a public appearance celebrating her book Becoming in Atlanta, Michelle paired her colorful power suit with a sequined silver bustier. Just that sliver of a slinky, sexy, sparkly, curve-hugging piece set this suit apart from the kind we became accustomed to seeing Michelle wear in the White House. While her outfits when Barack was in office were deliberate, crafted with the acute awareness of her obvious visibility (and the criticism that often came with it), this look - and the many others on her book tour - seems to be a happy departure from that. In this case, she added sparkle, a sultry silhouette, and a brilliant look-at-me shade of purple, seemingly because she can - and she looks damn good doing it. Not that we didn't love Michelle's first lady style before, but quite frankly, what's better than a woman who's dressing confidently for herself? Read on to see the outfit from all angles - and the smile that comes with it - and you'll likely agree.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
