La Parodi as Michelle: same dress as the first lady to celebrate her husband's election as mayor

That "hug between Michelle and Barack Obama, in November 2012, became historic and entered" the collective imagination as a symbol of hope and renewal. And the dress chosen by the American first lady, with a red and white checked print, right at the moment of her husband's re-election as president of the United States, had remained imprinted in history, for its sober and original style at the same time. Today we are reviewing this outfit on the pages of Italian newspapers thanks to an "other" first lady "from Italy, Cristina Parodi, who wore it after the election result of her husband Giorgio Gori, the new mayor of Bergamo.

The choice of the journalist to attend an official event with the same dress as the charismatic Michelle has certainly aroused great surprise, as well as a lot of criticism, especially for the obvious risk of pure emulation.

Parodi declared that she bought the dress on the net, on the recommendation of her sister Benedetta for only 77 euros. And what do you think? Do you think it is an inglorious choice to dress like the American first lady, a style icon throughout the world or a simple gesture of admiration?

Here are the two women compared with the same dress.
