Red, White & Rockin' It
Michelle Obama is nothing if not loyal, once again wearing a dress by Jason Wu to this year's Inaugural Ball. Which of Wu's gowns do you prefer: the white one from 2009 or the red one from last night?

Lost in Translation
With the English language being over 500 years old and having at least a quarter of a million unique words, you might think there'd be a way to say everything. But The Week has rounded up 14 words from other languages, that, sadly, have no English equivalent. If we can come up with a word for "the sending of sexually explicit messages or images by cell phone," we can certainly come up with an equivalent for "cafune," the Brazilian Portuguese word for "tenderly running your fingers through your lover's hair."

A Masterpiece?
What's a girl to wear for her first official royal portrait sitting? If you're an off-the-rack type like Kate Middleton, it's a navy tie-blouse by French Connection, available online for $118. While the painting of the princess has received some mixed reviews (what's with that pinched smile?), the silky top is a royal success—just the right mix of sophisticated and stylish.Courtesy of French Connection
