For her speech Tuesday to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., Ann Romney opted for Oscar de la Renta.
According to a report by our Times compatriot Robin Abcarian, the wife of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney wore "a brilliant red Oscar de la Renta dress — belted at the waist, with elbow-length sleeves and a slightly belled skirt."
Although speculation about the dress she would be wearing for the important occasion had reached a fever pitch over the last few days, according to another Times colleague, Maeve Reston, Mrs. Romney still hadn't made a definite decision as late as Tuesday morning.
Was this a defining style moment for the candidate's wife? What did you think of the wardrobe choice? In a fashion face-off between First Lady Michelle Obama and Ann Romney, does one have the upper hand?
