How Freaking Cute is Coco Rocha?

So Young, So Svelte… Such Great taste in Shoes!

Coco Rocha first made it onto our radar with her summer Neiman Marcus ads. She’s a British Columbia-born supermodel and definitely worth keeping tabs on. She recently turned up to attend the Accessories Council Host 12th Annual ACE Awards at Cirpriani in New York in some pretty gorgeous silk platfom wedges.

Coco Rocha has come a long way since she found herself doing an Irish jig down the Jean Paul Gaultier runway a couple of seasons ago. In a time in fashion where fresh faced models are just as easily forgotten as what they’ve been eating, Coco has managed to navigate this picky industry and transform herself into a very hot commodity.

Just ask Anna Wintour. The editor-in-chief has put the Canadian in practically every issue of Vogue since Coco’s first appearance back in 2006.

Check out these super cute wedges at ShoeCompare and pair with your sweetest little black dress.

Coco knows how to walk off with free fashion after working it on the runway. So much so that she should be the new face of Aldo. The beauty gives Aldo a plug in a piece with NYT.

“I was in a frenzy there the other day. They had all these cute new styles. The salesgirls were like, ‘You’re Coco!” I was like, “Shhh, I’m not really buying all these shoes.” But I believe if you see something you like and it’s cheap, by all means get it. Just don’t do it head to toe. Carry an expensive bag.”

It’s Official: Michelle Obama is America’s New First Lady of Fashion

Historic Win Ushers in Iconic White House Style

The moving boxes aren’t even packed yet and Michelle Obama, wife of president-elect Barack Obama, is already the most watched First Lady (in waiting) in fashion history since Camelot. After a succession of starchy attired wallflower wives, Mrs. O has shown she has what it takes to be the next White House style icon.  Even before her husband clinched the win for the Oval, she received the fashion industry’s vote of approval, topping Vanity Fair’s best dressed list.

In a town dressed down in Ann Taylor and Talbot separates and sensible shoes, the Ivy league-educated lawyer promises to bring a dash of glamour to dress up D.C.’s lack of vogue.  She carries herself with supermodel grace and opts for bright or floral feminine shift dresses, putting her own personal spin on the elegantly fuss-free look with an eye-catching brooch or necklace.

And in these serious economic times, Michelle’s democratic mix of high-low fashion is easily accessible by the masses from both the left and the right.  A black-and-white H&M dress she sported for an appearance with the ladies of The View immediately flew off the rack.  Politics aside, we’re pretty sure the public didn’t flock to their local mall to copy Laura Bush’s conservative librarian look or pick up a Hillary headband.  Amid the “Fashion-Gate” flack over the GOP’s $150K expenditure on designer clothes for Sarah Palin, Michelle pointedly mentioned that both she and Barack paid for their own campaign clothes and showed off an adorably affordable J Crew outfit that she bought online for an appropriately thrifty $340. We LOVE the thought of her checking out Gap.com in the White House Residence!

When it comes to accessories, the statuesque 5′11″ beauty has displayed a preference for ballet flats, much like fashionable French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Cole Haan Air Camille ballet flats are reportedly some of her favorites. Sky-high heels wouldn’t have exactly been practical on the arduous campaign trail, but according to Trendyshoeshop.com, she still loves to wear stilettos and slingback kitten heels on occasion.

After the fashion furor over the Narciso Rodriguez dress Michelle wore when Barack clinched the presidency, the whole world is chomping at the bit to see her inaugural gown pick and if she’ll showcase her elevation to fashionista-in-chief in a stellar pair of stilettos or stay grounded in dressy flats. In our opinion, if ever there was a time to sport a wickedly expensive pair of designer heels, accompanying your husband as he is sworn in as America’s first black president would be it.

In anticipation of four years (at least!) of fashion-watching at the White House, ShoeMinx offers Michelle these Rene Caovilla grey moiré slingbacks to pair with her oh-so-elegant signature style.
