The defining looks of Michelle Obama's White House years

L A Times ^

[BenLurkin]

Introduced as a sartorial blank slate during the early stages of her husband’s campaign for the White House, Obama’s look would come to be defined by bare, sculpted arms (which, you may recall originally caused quite a kerfuffle), a preference for boldly patterned florals and cardigan sweaters. Although she has been photographed wearing nearly every color under the rainbow, her closet has a deep bench of black and white, with shades of yellow deployed to punctuate important occasions.

(It should be noted that the first lady had some help in wowing us over the years, specifically in the form of fashion and wardrobe advisor Meredith Koop — what the rest of the world would call a stylist — and longtime hairstylist Johnny Wright.)

As far as specific looks that might define the current first lady for the ages, the last eight years have served up plenty of suitable candidates.

I think they missed a few...

The infamous "Black Widow Spider" dress

Can anyone post other examples of MO's fashion sense?

Did they show the ‘crotch bulge’ look?

Let us not forget her suicide belt collection from Kohls!/S

This is her defining look...

I think they meant ‘declining’, not ‘defining’.

She is still a sartorial blank slate,
and she dresses funny too!

That “boob belt” is a ploy to make her waist appear to look more like a woman’s since she is a man.

She’s a Man, Baby!

Baby got back!

The only defining look I want to see of her is when she is boarding AF2 on her way to Chicago on Jan 20th.

God, I hate this woman.

From childhood I have committed my life to the cause of chivalry. But so help me I truly, truly hate this woman.

I prefer the "pout" look, myself:
