First Lady Almost Committed Fashion Suicide

Busted: Laura Bush, the First Lady, was that close to committing one of the most unheard of fashion crimes. The fact that other three women also did it is no excuse for Mrs. Bush, who is supposed to have an entire army of stylists and fashion consultants by her side to prevent situations like these from ever occurring.

What exactly happened, you ask? The first lady attended the big Kennedy Center Honors gala proudly sporting an Oscar de la Renta red gown, for which she paid no less than $8,400. As she walked into the venue and posed for the family photo/Christmas card, Laura noticed that other three women were also donning the same outfit.

She ran home and changed just in the nick of time but the sad part is that the whole 'incident' got caught on tape... and it's going to be sent all over the country in the form of a Christmas card. A spokesperson for the First Lady said that she opted to change into a black lace gown not because she would have liked to be unique in her one-of-a-kind dress (although it would have been nice), but because she didn't want to embarrass her friends/acquaintances.

'Evidently Oscar is very popular this season. It just goes to show that no one can resist a beautiful red gown. She went upstairs and changed, very easy for her to do. It was the right thing to do, take the heat off the other women. She didn’t want the other guests to feel uncomfortable.', Mrs. Bush's press secretary said.

On the other hand, fellow partygoer Letitia Baldridge, Jacqueline Kennedy's Chief of Staff and White House social secretary approached the situation in a lighter manner. 'They all should have congratulated one another on their good taste and the fact that they could afford the dress. Jacqueline Kennedy, when she was first lady made sure, and her couturiers made sure, that nobody else wore that dress that season.', she said.

Well, as fashion police is concerned, there is only one thing left to say: that was a close one!
