The late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis would have turned 80 today. The iconic first lady is known for her prim postures as the President’s wife. But vintages pics of Jackie O show that the woman was at her style best “post-Camelot.”

My favorite Jackie O style moment is 1975:

Jackie O Best Fashion Year: 1975

See more shots in the gallery – including one with First Lady Hilary Clinton in ’93 in which Jackie O. shows that true style is timeless (age 64)

That is, better if you have no sense of satire and even less sense of style. Frankly, I’m MORE offended by this cover. How on earth is this the style issue cover and the drawings are so utterly devoid of STYLE?!

Of course, folks are complaining about this cover too. Calling it offensive because the First Lady is more than a style icon. They need to mad that Michelle looks like she’s been dressed by Newport News. Ewwww

Brings Priestess Back from the Brink http://www.thefashioncult.com/2009/01/cult-flash-michelle-o-brings-priestess-back-from-the-brink/ http://www.thefashioncult.com/2009/01/cult-flash-michelle-o-brings-priestess-back-from-the-brink/#comments Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:30:00 +0000 high Priestess http://thefashioncult.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/cult-flash-michelle-o-brings-priestess-back-from-the-brink/

… and we’re back!

And not a moment too soon. Your High Priestess has, at last, escaped the evil 9-to-5 demons that had her gagged and bound – languishing away amongst the couture-free doldrums. Indeed I fought the good fight to get back, but I couldn’t have done it without the help of our stunning new First Lady, Michelle Obama.

After a stifling year and some months, Michelle O.’s magic was sprinkled across the cultscape and your Priestess has risen again. So fear not, my children: stellar style returns for your viewing pleasure.
