First Lady's fashion sense falters as Michelle Obama and Sarah Brown meet...

After the G20 wives wowed us with their style prowess yesterday, Michelle Obama and Sarah Brown appear to have stumbled in the glamour stakes with today's choice of clothing... Yesterday's dazzling J. Crew outfit may have won her praise from the hard-to-please fashion press - but the bizarre cardigan sported by Michelle Obama at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden today was rather less well-received. The First Lady kept her famous toned arms covered in the asymmetric creation by Japanese designer Junya Watanabe, which featured a garish argyle pattern and was embellished with yet more sequins. A far cry from her signature sleeveless shift dresses, Mrs Obama also wore a teal-coloured full-skirted prom dress by Jason Wu.

"bizarre cardigan" these people bug me to no end...

Didn’t Bizarre Cardigan used to open for Spinal Tap?

Sarah needs spanx..

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

In the words of Lewis Black- something is “askew”here

[dforest]

I have a sweater like some of those she wears. I use it to go out and work in the yard when it is cool. Missing some buttons too.

[Mac from Cleveland]

Oh, no she DI’INT!

Sarah Brown does not to wear tight fitting clothes.

It does not matter what MO wears! It will always look wrong! There is just something about her that just does not work ... could be her soul showing through.

terrible photographs of both of these ladies, especially from the back. Mrs. Brown’s outfit is ghastly.

And I don’t mind the argyle cardigan. Better outfit that yesterday’s J Crew IMO.

“At the moment, Michelle Obama never puts an enormous foot wrong.”

Oh LOL, I do love droll British humor

Thanks for the laughs

It looks like it’s misbuttoned. And the sleeves look torn. Also, she is standing in a rather awkward way. Not very feminine.

Askew is right! I think she has it button wrong. Appears as though the left side of the sweater is lower than the right side..Perhaps buttoning it up quickly she wrongly matched up the button holes and the dang thing looks off!

“Sarah needs spanx..”

Is you offering? ;-)

[Red_Devil 232]

insert “need” as in “not need to”

[Lesforlife]

Where are the fashion police?

Whatever would make one select black hosiery with a blue outfit?

MO looks like she doesn’t even have on hose.

The sweater?

Words escape me.

In light of the real problems, this is little more than entertainment but
the lack of class and style is really startling.

[skeeter]

All I wanna know is how much did she pay for all those clothes?

It looks like it’s misbuttoned. And the sleeves look torn. Also, she is standing in a rather awkward way. Not very feminine.

Look at the rear shot. It looks like it's buttoned up the back, too. A weird piece of clothing.

[avacado]

Michelle”s sweater is horrid. It looks like her beer belly popped the bottom two buttons. And it looks like she mismatched the buttons to the proper button holes. And honey, really... with those hips, think vertical stripes to look thinner. Tacky, tacky, tacky... I wouldn't hit it! Guilty!

[Red_Devil 232]

It looks like it’s misbuttoned.

It is! It is! You can see the missed button hole a the top!

[the long march]
