At (the first) President Bush’s 60th wedding anniversary party, Houston fundraiser Mica Mosbacher wore a stunning Ralph Rucci gown in hammered navy silk. She looked exquisite, but she passes the credit to her husband Robert, the Secretary of Commerce under Bush. “He chose the dress,” she explains. “He has picked all my most important outfits.”

This mother, grandmother, and former business journalist has turned her attention and substantial resources to bringing art and social services to the city of Houston. In 2006 she was appointed by Governor Rick Perry to serve as a regent to the university of Houston system.
