In pictures we’ve seen, she’s wearing a loud blue print clown costume. Whatever one thinks of the Saudi culture, it’s way out of line to offend a host with dress they don’t approve of.

Michelle is not impressed: The First Lady does not look happy to be meeting Saudi king who presides over widespread repression of women
EXCERPT
When the group lined up to greet the president and his wife, some of the Saudis shook the First Lady’s hand while others just nodded their head.
Reporters who were travelling with the president and First Lady told ABC News that Mrs Obama bowed to cultural differences and stood slightly behind her husband during the greeting line.
If one of the men would offer to shake her hand, the First Lady would oblige but mostly stood back and smiled while they passed.
She was also criticized by Saudis and the Muslim world at large on Twitter for not covering her hair.
According to tweets gathered by Al-Ahram, Egypt’s largest daily newspaper, many Saudis expressed outrage that Mrs Obama wore a veil to visit a mosque in Indonesia, but went without one on this condolence trip to their country. Mrs Obama also donned a sheer black veil when she met the Catholic Pope in Vatican City.
