The two floral dresses that first lady Michelle Obama sported in Cuba this week would not be affordable for the wide majority of individuals living in the repressive country.
US Weekly recently spotlighted two outfits that Obama wore during appearances in Havana on Sunday and Monday that, according to a Free Beacon analysis, together cost more than 23 times the average annual state salary in Cuba recorded in 2014.
When the president and his family landed in Cuba Sunday, the first lady descended Air Force One wearing a sleeveless, rose-print dress made by designer Carolina Herrera. The dress is currently sold for $2,190 at Bergdorf Goodman, an upscale department store.
Later, on Monday evening, Obama dressed in a floral, knee-length dress from designer Naeem Khan to attend the state dinner at the Palace of the Revolution in Havana, Cuba. A similar frock from Naeem Khan, a Barack Obama donor, available in the designer’s pre-fall 2016 collection costs $4,490.

Will somebody remind me why Nancy Reagan was vilified by the media?
Have you seen the price of arugula lately?
To be fair, her dress needs 23 times more fabric than the average starving Cuban needs.
No dress, at ANY price, would make this ugly to the bone woman look good.
I am continually amazed that Michelle O can spend so much money on clothes and still look so bad. She is the ultimate fashion victim.
“Michelle O can spend so much money on clothes and still look so bad”
She doesn’t buy these clothes.
Now that is funny

What an ugly dress.
This dress seems to be made from the same fabric as a jacket Hillary wore while on a stroll.
Some pigs are more equal than others.
In other news, putting an expensive floral dress on a pig has the same net effect as lipstick does.
Actually, it not funny
It's tragic and true
Now that is side splitting!!
I can make the exact same dress with my sewing machine for less than $20.00 using clearance sale curtain fabric. The cost would even include the thread.
Michele has always been an embarrassment with her clothing choices ...especially when she goes abroad and represents the country.
She was the wife of a Republican President.
I didn’t realize shower curtains cost that much.
