To be fair, Mrs. Obama has had some very nice outfits that actually fit her properly and did what a well-designed outfit is supposed to do, enhance the positives and mask the negatives. Sadly, she tried to be avant-garde and failed a lot. Her physique does not lend itself to what a stick-figure and often very young model can get away with.

Mrs. Trump will be expected to be perfect all the time, which should be easier for her considering her model background and physique, but that doesn’t mean everything she wears will be liked by all. My mother didn’t like her ball gown but did like what some of the daughters were wearing.

I agree. It's hard for a lot of women, especially those of us who didn't feel pretty in adolescence, to find our personal style. It was silly the press tried to hold her up as a fashion icon all along, but she's gotten help, and a huge confidence boost, in her years as first lady. She's been a lot better turned out in the second term.
