OK. I admit I haven’t watched any of this on the tube, but judging from that picture, the white dress is unremarkable.
Whoever described this dress as a chenille bedspread nailed it. Two flops today . . . first was wearing Scarlette O’Hara’s draperies to the swearing in, second was wearing that chenille bedspread to the ball.
Thanks for posting the pics. After looking at them, and thinking back on the times I’ve seen Madame Obama on TV, I have to conclude that her main fashion problem is simply that she doesn’t stand up straight. I don’t care if she’s six feet or better — her height is not her problem; it’s the fact that she stoops and acts like she hates her height. Look at the way she is standing in both those photographs. Even with her thick waist, big flat butt, and bowlegs, if she would simply stand up straight, she would suddenly look ten times better. A tall woman who presents herself well can be magnificent! But a tall woman who apologizes for her height (by slumping and slouching) will always look like a fashion victim in whatever she wears.
