In a candid conversation on Tuesday, former First Lady Michelle Obama revealed that her husband and ex-POTUS Barack Obama wore the same tuxedo for eight years of his presidency without anyone noticing.
In doing so, she laid bare the sexist double standards of style - for she herself was scrutinized endlessly for every outfit she wore.
"People take pictures of the shoes I wear, the bracelets, the necklace - they didn't comment that for eight years he wore the same tux, same shoes," she said to thunderous applause from the audience at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in California, USA.
"You know, this is the unfair thing - you talk about Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers - no matter what we do, he puts on that same tux," she said.
During her eight years in the White House, Ms Obama was frequently in the news for her sartorial choices.
It might be two months to go for the International Day of Yoga, but looks like the top ministers in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government have already started inspiring the country with fitness goals, and they’re leading by example.
"Your face is something you wear all your life, and it tells a very unique story about you," says Karl Ricanek Jr., co-founder and chief data scientist at Lapetus Solutions Inc. in Wilmington, North Carolina.
China's notorious toilet paper thieves have struck again, stripping an urban public park in Chengdu city of 1,500 rolls in just one week, forcing authorities to consider installing facial recognition machines to beat the penny-pinching toilet paper bandits.
The city’s natural beauty, ease of living, cultural diversity and amenities make it ripe for an international art fair, says Lisa Wolfin, director of Art! Vancouver. “After seeing what other cities have done and what we have to offer, it’s clear Vancouver has what it takes to be a destination art hub.”
