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.

I miss photos of DIana. She may have been a twit but she sure was elegant and stylish.
Is that what Carla Bruni wore to the opera? Yowser.
bowlegged: having legs that curve outward, so that the knees do not touch
I loves to go swimmin’,
wit’ bow-legged wimmin,
I’m Popeye the sailor man,
toot toot!
I’ve seen semi’s with more poise
Does Michelle even look in the mirror after she gets dressed?
Her buttons aren’t lined up with the button holes. LOL
It looks like she just piles her clothes in the middle of the room and jumps in. Whatever sticks....she wears.
Makes you almost wish for Hillary's neon colored pants suits.
Somebody gets these gals a fashion consult. Do they not have people around them that tell the truth?
yes, she was elegant and tasteful, once she got her fashion sense down. She also did away with stockings and made it fashionable to go to formal events bare-legged.
That’s some get-up.
She better come home soon. It gets worse every day she’s there. It’s bad enough we have to suffer her bizarre outfits; it’s cruel to expect the rest of the world to do so too.
Good grief! So this is what millionaires wear when they go out! Looks like a playday in mama’s attic playing dress-up.

Well now we know why mama really moved into the White House with First Daughter. Apparently help is needed in the “getting dressed” department in the morning to make sure the buttons get buttoned properly.

With two fast guards and a power-forward, these two could be the core of an awesome basketball team...
Someday they will both look at this photo and wonder ... ‘what was I thinking ... I thought it was a ‘smart’ outfit ... at least that is what my staff told me ... they lied!’
Uuuuuuugly.
Good thing they are surrounded by sycophants who can convince them that they look nice. Otherwise, they’d have to rely on mirrors to tell them the truth.

You could get the same ‘style’ at the Good will for about $3.41.
Ms brown should stay awya from stretch knit.
I miss Laura Bush.
My mother taught me to never leave the house without looking at myself in a full length mirror, front, side and back. Too bad Mrs. Brown did not ask Gordon the tried-and-true question.
Madame Obama, it seems Bill Cosby’s wardrobe called: it does NOT want that one back.
