First Lady's fashion sense falters as Michelle Obama and Sarah Brown meet...
The Guardian ^ | April 2 | Eleanor Glover, Tamara Abraham, LIZ JONES

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.

She IS a cow, so it’s easy for her to look like one!

And I hope it’ll be put Breaking. It’s a disgraceful
and extremely troubling and purposeful gesture for a
US president.

Ooops ... sorry. I see it’s there. It needs

On another thread, I said it looked like something from Willy Wonka or a project from a high school home ec class.

Has anyone noticed that NOTHING she wears even MATCHES? The blue dress does not match the cardigan (if that’s what you want to call it). She does not appear to be wearing hose. AND she is wearing GREEN SHOES! GREEN!

It looks like it must have been a sleeveless dress and someone said, “You’re in the UK, please cover your arms.” So she hastily put a cardigan (if you want to call it that) over the top, covering up her arms, without planning to bring something along to cover herself that would MATCH.

And Sarah Brown...oh my gosh. What can you say? Those pictures of her are so unflattering and awful, they are practically blackmail material.

In the group photo, Michelle Obama is the ONLY woman on that stage that looks out of her league and out of place.

That is exactly what I thought when I first saw it.

And Sarah Brown...oh my gosh. What can you say? Those pictures of her are so unflattering and awful, they are practically blackmail material.

I was just happy I was looking at a still shot of it. Those big black-clad haunches made her look like the mascot of Captain Fatima from the Quivering Thigh.

Actually, that’s a theory we developed after watching the second season of Project Runway, and it’s been pretty reliable way to guess who gets kicked off since then... If you (or anyone else) watches it, this most recent season Kenley was a prime example of what I’m talking about, and so was the guy who kept insisting he was ‘classy’ and yet made kinda slutty clothes.

Okay, maybe it’s a useful generalization, then. But in the specific case, that woman’s just UGLY, and what she’s got on is a circus costume. If she’s dressing Michelle Obama, it’s no wonder Michelle looks like a pro linebacker who’s cross-dressing in the dark.

LOL! If it was video, my husband would have said, “That looks like 2 pigs fighting over a milk dud.”

LOL! And That One's supporters always used to say that George W. Bush was cozying up to the Saudis!

President Bush never BOWED to anyone, Queen or King. He did, at times, hold the old man's hand when they were walking, as he had done with other elderly folks from time to time, but he never acted in any way subservient to the King of Saudi Arabia!
