The first ladies of fashion: Michelle Obama and Sarah Brown set the style standard
Mail Online ^ | April 1, 2009 | Tamara Abraham

Dressed in a cream embellished cardigan and green gingham skirt, Michelle Obama practically shimmered in the early morning sunlight today as she and her husband arrived at 10 Downing Street.

The US First Lady, who has been hailed by the fashion press as a modern-day Jackie O, was not clad in high-end designer labels as one might expect someone of her position to wear. Instead, the glamorous 45-year-old opted for a spring-like ensemble from American high-street favourite J Crew.

Remember when Diana Spencer became engaged she wore a black ball gown to the Palace and got a lot of flack for it because to the royals black is only worn during periods of mourning. The newspapers suggested she could have gotten away with midnight blue.

Maybe someone should have informed Mrs. Obama.

Personally, I love opaque tights. They hide a multitude of sins and darker colors are slimming. As for being out of style...well here in the Big Apple, lots of ladies wear mostly black tights to the office. (That’s as close as we get to the Goth look.)

They look like a couple of bag ladies.

That sums it up pretty nicely.

I would love to be a fly on the wall as Donna Karan or Karl Lagerfeld or Elie Tahari comment on MO's fashion choices. With her figure she should not be wearing those skimpy sweaters with a straight skirt. I wouldn't wear that sad green skirt with anything, ever.

I don't care what she wears. She could wear orange plaid capri pants and a lime green halter, with hot pink crocs, for all I care. But to have to listen to the media slobbering over her is really an insult to good taste.

Is there ANY question we live in a parallel universe when the MSM compares her to a Jackie O?

Positively hideous (and wrinkled) outfit worn by a woman who is supposed to represent our country and to think she felt a cardigan worn to meet the Queen was appropriate. Clueless and tasteless couple who gives an I-Pod to the Queen of England.

I heard he had to move his bullet proof limo as it was blocking the entrance of Buckingham Palace.

Thanks for the reply... actually, I'm glad to hear opaque tights are still in style (back in style?) in the Big Apple and elsewhere. You are far more fashionable than I am, FRiend... I'll take your word for it. :o)

I admit I do like the slimming effect and "sin-covering" attributes of the opaques.
