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.

her outfit is ghastly because her body is ghastly. She is very overweight and needs to find a better way to dress.

I think you are right. She doesn’t have on hose.

Calling them the Clampett’s is unfair to the Clampetts. They’re vulgarians.

It wouldn’t help. Someone needs to explain to Sarah, politely but very firmly, that she has gained weight, and therefore needs to adjust her wardrobe to reality. Of course, since she’s liberal, it’s entirely possible that even a visual aid such as this picture would make no impression on her image of herself.

OMG... look at the pics of Michelle on this thread... WHAT is that clown outfit she’s wearing??? Seriously, is that some kind of April Fool’s joke?

Oh my dear, I saw this photo earlier and didn't read the thread. I was hoping that it was an old photo and not one from the current trip. I am far from being a fashion icon but I am sooooo embarrassed.

Could Michelle’s sweater be pinned up the back to make it fit (even) more tightly? Wasn’t Barry’s suit coat pinned at the back on some occasion (the inaugural ball appearance, maybe)? Eeeek!

The sweaters are on the rack at Wal-mart for $12; I noticed today. In a couple of weeks, they’ll be marked down to $8!

Honey does this dress make my butt look big? At least Michelle keeps hers camouflaged.

Ladies, can you imagine being followed by photographers who took pics of your backsides? I’d be mortified.

I have little sympathy for women who squeeze themselves into clothes that are way too small for them, and are then unhappy with photographers photos of their bulges and cellulite showing through in disgusting detail. Mrs. Brown looks awful from all directions in that outfit. She clearly outgrew it a good 30 pounds ago. I honestly can't imagine leaving the house in something that made me look like a sausage that's already begun to burst. What on earth was she thinking?

Yikes! Neither one of these ladies look their best. Did Michelle not button the cardigan correctly? And the colors are not her best. Plus, what is it with Michelle and these odd colored shoes that don't match anything else she is wearing?

What can I say about the PM's wife, except -- girdle, corset --- something.

It looks like it’s misbuttoned.

LOL! The argyle sweater is definitely mis-buttoned. Obviously, the woman doesn't have a full length mirror to dress herself. We should send her one. ;o)

She reminds me of a moose, big, gangly and clumsy.

That sweater looks like it came out of the rag bag.

I think that skirt of Michelle Obama’s is so poofy because she needs to hide her bat’leth under it. All good Klingons have a CCW permit for their bat’leth.

And Mrs. Brown...please, no. Just...no. Can they still behead people in Great Britain for fashion screwups like that dress?

The sweater is too small and she should NEVER wear a skirt with that many pleats in it, makes her look really wide across the bottom.

No, Michelle is capable of that all by herself!

Interesting insights.

That would explain Michelle’s skirts, because they’re certainly not chosen to flatter her figure. Explains why she needs her arms unencumbered, too ...
