She looks and dresses way better than the Bush first ladies!!!!!

So what's your point? Who was comparing them to the Bush first ladies????

Boy, you are right on point. She definitely needs some fashion advice...that is a high class bag lady!!

Good gawd, who writes these pieces?? Has Michelle Obama ever looked worse? There is a way to mix prints, fabrics and so on, but this isn't that way. "Style icon"??? Puh-leez... This woman wouldn't know style if it walked up to her on the street and slapped her in the face.

It just goes to show you that you can't fix ugly. I dont understand why the media insists on trying to make the sheeple think moochelle is somehow a top beautiful woman. I mean, LOOK at her. Damn, she looks like Ray Lewis in drag. Physically, she is extremely unattractive. I guess I just am not seeing it.

She's no fashion icon and as much as the press talks about her amazing figure, it's average at best. lol. And this outfit is ugly!

I read all the comments and I am blown away with all your negatives. Michelle is the First Lady and although her choice of dress is definitely out of my financial league and taste, I give her credit for dressing for herself not for the public. I don't look at her and see a "beautiful" looking woman, but she does well in making herself look as attractive as she can and she can because she can afford it. She is comfortable in her own skin and radiates a confidence that I admire in any woman. Remember, she is always in the public eye and will always be someone that everyone is looking at so there will always be pros and cons. Does she care what we think of her fashion choices? No and to be honest, she shouldn't be. Not everything we choose to wear at whatever function we may be have to be under scutiny will be the object of perfection or as some put it the "cat's eye" but we should dress for ourselves and those we love such as our family foremost. She certainly doesn't embarrass her husband who is our President of the free world, so give her her dignity and respect her for her, his wife. By the way, I am a white woman and sometimes perhaps we should look deep into our souls and hearts and find the beauty in all of us. God doesn't care what we look like, how much money we have or how we dress up or down, He loves us just the way we are. You don't have to love her, but truly, as good Americans we should support and honor her with our respect. She is a very good woman and a role model to many. Most of all, she loves her family and that in itself is wonderful!

I'm with you Stormy, I love the the first lady, but she's worn more cringe worthy ensembles than I can count. This one is no exception.

That is downright UGLY !!! I mean the garment she's wearing.

THANK GOD SHE'S NO JACKIE, HIDING BEHIND STUFFY FASHION TO MASK HER UNHAPPINESS! BTW.....This is 2010, should she be wearing a pillbox hat?

mrs obama, is "mrs.obama, not mrs.kennedy, and dont hate she looks damn GOOD in whatever she puts on! dont hate i bet you look a hot mess! mrs. obama can wear anyyyyyyyyyything and look good in it
mrs.kennedy dressed for the older women! mrs.obama dresses for every age!

I don't know, sort of reminds me of the maternity clothes that I wore 50 years ago with my first child.

THIS IS JUST PLAIN DOWN RIGHT UGLY NOTHING MATCHES I WOULD NOT BE SEEN IN PUBLIC LOOKING LIKE THAT. AND BY THE WAY WHAT DO THE BUSH'S HAVE TO DO WITH THIS ANYWAY. At least they were very elegant ladies and not as young as this this is awful.

This is just one dress....you obviously didn't click through the other photos....she looks beautiful in everyone of them....and noone compares her to jackie kennedy....doesn't look a thing like her .....lolololololol....jackie kennedy dressed very conservative....not my style, either.

It's not like Michelle is a waif-like, flowing haired, pale girl that you see in Free People ads (the only type that could actually get away with this ensemble, tights and all, in mid-summer on the Vineyard).... I am embarrassed at her representation of America's First Lady.

godzilla, i bet your name fit you perfectly. remember when you point a finger there are more pointing back at you. only ugly people (inside AND out) sit around and
talk negatively about others. michelle may not be the prettiest woman but i bet she can run rings around you and all your 'posse' with her personality and intelligence,
which you are showing that you have neither

I don't think I saw anything that suggested Michelle Obama wants you to dress like her. You have such a mean spirit you wouldn't look good in anything she wears anyway.

I would certainly hope she would not look like Jackie Kennedy. She(jackie) looked STUFFY in the conservative clothes she wore, Mrs. Obama would look a little crazy if she dressed like Jackie Kennedy. Mrs. Obama is her own person(thank God) and she dresses to suit herself and her husband. I am sure she doesn't give a good GodDamn about what you think about her. When you become the first lady then you can dress stuffy like Jackie Kennedy! Unlike you she is her own person and is not moved by what U think!
