Miss Issa said, “You can leave all the cosplay to that other Barbie. President Barbie is here to serve FASHION.” And so she is. We’re just relieved that someone on this promo tour is using red carpets the way God intended them to be used. We’re also happy to toss this one out to a vote, because it feels a little wrong to be voting on literal cosplay like it’s fashion. Anyway, here she is, living la vie en rose.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to look past the dazzling smile and makeup (which are both, admittedly, a little distractingly gorgeous) and focus on the dress design itself. Is it working for you? For us, it looks a little heavy. We can practically feel her trying not to produce any sweat. The design is fabulous from the waist down, but we have some issues with the bodice. You know we don’t love turtlenecks, but we find them especially enraging when they’re paired with things like cutouts or lack of sleeves. We also think that bow detail comes pretty close to ruining the whole look. We still think she looks fantastic, however. We’re just wondering if there are any dealbreakers here for you. In other words…
