Michelle Obama trumped Melania Trump in winning over the hearts of the American people.
Michelle Obama placed second in Gallup's poll of the most admired women in the US, while Melania Trump earned the No. 8 spot.
Trump has received backlash for wearing expensive outfits, which can make her seem out of touch with Americans.
Obama, meanwhile, used her fashion choices to represent social and political initiatives.
On Wednesday, Obama earned the No. 2 spot on Gallup's poll of Americans on the woman living anywhere in the world they admire most.
The No. 1 spot went to Hillary Clinton.
Obama became famous for her appreciation of Target and J.Crew fashion during her time as first lady. She used fashion to appear as an accessible yet aspirational "mom-in-chief."
Obama's fashion sense was often used to symbolize her social initiatives. One of Obama's best-known acts as a first lady was establishing the White House garden in 2009. It went hand-in-hand with her efforts to reduce rates of childhood obesity, with initiatives such as the school nutritional regulations.
Obama used the garden as a place to showcase her down-to-earth fashion. Vogue said in its review of Obama's 2012 book, "American Grown," that "throughout the book, the first lady, always beautifully coiffed, wears a different J. Crew sweater to match the season (marigold yellow for summer, argyle for fall)."
Trump, meanwhile, has come under fire for some of her more expensive outfits. The first lady has scaled back somewhat after her clothing choices sparked criticism but her wardrobe is still notably more expensive and has more designer labels than Obama's.
Still, Americans demand substance not just style. Obama managed to use her fashion choices as a way to make a political statement.

Lib-speak for "ghetto"
Drivel.
Excuse me, please. I’m going to vomit.
The problem is Gallup polling of selective groups. Nothing more.
It’s a little early for April Fool’s jokes.
Kate Taylor, probably a jealous feminist.
Don’t forget Hussein wore Mom Jeans also.
Probably Michelle’s hand me downs.
Ogjstfu
Boob belts be high fashion.
Gallup, according to their own statements, polled about 1,100 people to compile their “list”.
1,100 out of +/-325,000,000
Explains a lot.
[down-to-earth fashion.]
LOL. Melania isn’t into wearing draperies.
Please, Melania, no virtue signalling with our wardrobe.
Your performance as FL has been just about perfect.
Thankfully Nikki Haley hasn’t adopted Albright’s brooches, for example.
The jokes write themselves.
Back to an old tagline for awhile.
Let’s see . . . Melania’s married to a guy worth 10 billion dollars. She’s First Lady of the U.S., has a great family and is admired by millions of people.
Why would competing with Michelle Obama even enter her mind? This is just some wet dream of some leftist twat who can’t let go of the “glory days” their side had for eight years.
LOL!
