It was a fashion face-off of epic proportions when Michelle Obama met with Queen Letizia in Madrid today.
America's first lady was joined by the glamorous royal in the Spanish capital, on what was the last leg of a trip to promote girls' education in poorer countries and raise awareness of gender inequalities.
The ever-chic Letizia, 43, stunned in a sleeveless scarlet dress from Nina Ricci that showcased her toned arms, adding a pair of pointed nude courts and turquoise earrings.

Tone Deaf: Michelle Obama Wears $1,750 Dress In One Of The Poorest Countries In World

“The average Liberian family lives on less than two dollars a day, and about 90 percent of the country has no access to electricity."
First Lady Michelle Obama, along with daughters Malia and Sasha, is on a trip to Liberia and Morocco..."
Her cause was noble—62 million girls around the world do not attend school. Often-insurmountable barriers like teenage pregnancy, lengthy commutes and chores at home take intelligent, ambitious students out of school after elementary education.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Obama did not seem to grasp the seriousness of the issue. The Washington Free Beacon reported that the First Lady wore a $1,750 Proenza Schouler floral wrap dress upon arriving in Marrakech. The average income per year for a Liberian is $370.

Data from the World Bank shows Liberia’s average income is the fourth-lowest in the world. It makes little sense why Obama would waste taxpayer dollars to flaunt such opulence in a place of such abject poverty.
The Daily Mail estimated the full trip would rack up quite the bill as well: her airplane costs $11,684 per hour to operate. This will amount to $300,000 for the flights alone— then add on the First Lady's security, staff and fashion expenses. Mrs. Obama’s trip to South Africa and Botswana in 2011 cost taxpayers $424,142, according to The Daily Mail.

To me Mrs Obama is simply a common filthy slut.
To me Mrs Obama is simply a common filthy slut.
First thought she had three legs
I cannot believe she is a fashion icon. Yuk! Solid colors and straight lines would look better on her. What an embarrassment she is. Nancy Reagan and Jackie Kennedy were class acts.
One needs to give her cheeseburgers to the other
Well, I was just posting about her abysmal taste in clothing and personal grooming. Her taste in patriotism would take a telephone book's worth of posts.
Great idea! Sort of...
She is really a mystery, on so many levels. Fortunately, I don’t care to figure it out.
You go girl! She is so brilliant. What will we do without her? The designer deserves a Medal of Freedom. She is so beautiful. I want to be just like her.
I want the lovely dress .... to use as a tarp over the picnic table.
Well, it beats Hillary’s tweed bathrobe that cost more than a car....
The shoes on the gal in the middle, they’re made by Christian Louboutin and cost somewhere between $700 -$1,000. If they’re custom made they’re $5,000.
I think the gal in the middle is Carla Bruni.
I’ve bought my share
Manolo and Choo best value for high end foot covers
If 500-1200 a pair is value
Nice Boat!!
No wonder so many women LOVE you!
