Tickets to the cocktail reception cost $1,000 to $2,300, and tickets to the dinner following at Calvin Klein's house cost $10,000. Normally such events allow reporters and famous people who draw the reporters in for free. But Michelle's fund-raiser, it seems, was so exclusive everyone had to pay to attend. They were all "pumped" to meet her--even though the room was uncomfortably warm--and she [w]dazzle[/w]d with charm and a chic Isabela Toledo gown and Tom Binns necklace she picked out herself. 最近，米歇尔·奥巴马举行的一次募资晚宴令时尚界人士蜂拥而至。鸡尾酒会的票价是1000 至2300美元，之后在Calvin Klein 宅邸举行的晚宴票价更是高达10000 美元。类似的活动通常都向媒体人士和各界明星免费开放，但是奥巴马夫人的晚宴的每一位客人都必须掏钱买票。即使房间里由于人太多而变得异常闷热，这些时尚界人士还是争相去见奥巴马夫人。米歇尔?奥巴马当晚穿戴起自己挑选的Isabela Toledo礼服和Tom Binns项链，表现得魔力四射。 Francisco Costa called her a "star"; Behnaz Sarafpour said she had never seen a couple like the Obamas in politics in her [w]lifetime[/w] and called Michelle's style "refreshing."

The next day when Michelle went on The View she wore a black-and-white dress from White House Black Market. After that, women started pouring into the retail chain's stores, clamoring for the $148 dress. 而整个事情最奥巴马有趣的环节是什么呢？第二天，米歇尔参加电视节目The View 时穿的是一条购自服装零售商White House Black Market的黑白花裙子。这条售价148 美元的裙子旋即被妇女们一抢而空。
