Michelle Obama's Abbey outfit: stacked like a wedding cake – but nice colours

Wow, look at her go. Michelle Obama, who was in London on a short sightseeing trip with her daughters, didn’t let the small issue of a failing government stand in the way of her sunny style.

While the men around her look to be in mourning, Mrs O stands out like a beacon against the night sky. Ok, the appliquéd tunic has the air of Malia or Sasha’s art class about it and sure, it does nothing for her hips – all that extra fluff and detail around the middle adds bulk to her usually smooth lines. But when did looking trim become part of a visit to Westminster Abbey?

I saw it in the window, and I just had to have it.

Maybe she’s dressing to fit her emotional age.

I think I’m running pretty close to your husband. Never been the height of fashion myself, but looking at that outfit makes me feel like Giorgio Armani.

ha ha for you, I DON’T KNOW THAT SONG!! LOL, I won’t be stuck listening to it all day...at least I picked a good band and a decent song. Heck, Steven Tyler looks better with a scarf than Michelle!

[skimbell]

Copied, hell Me-shell stle the idea!

The British press is on drugs.

Not entirely.

[Vendome]

Her taste is all in her mouth

[Vendome]

Just plum terrible!

[Vendome]

No. The 80’s are over and the Go Go Girls are so 80’s

[Vendome]

This guy is just a disrespectful a**hole

[Vendome]

She is not a chic she is a Do Do Bird

[kcvl]

It looks like she has on a yellow fabric belt with the sequined purple buckle belt because there are flowers under it. It's hideous! And anyone who tries to tell me she is a fashionista is lying and thinks I'm stupid!

[Stentor]

gray Sansabelt trousers

HAAHAHAHA.

[freebird5850]

And once again the belt thingy. Bet it holds ammo.

[ponz7]

maybe Hillary’s pantsuits are not so bad after all

[freebird5850]

“Has anyone copied that high belt look yet?”

Only if I was wearing a colonoscopy bag.

[kcvl]

Moving on up from Chicago gangland to the White house. Ain’t life grand. Wife and daughters shopping and touring in England while Americans are out of work and sacrificing with ‘skin in the game’.

[Vendome]

                ?!

 

[dead]

She's just like Jackie O, if Jackie O were a frumpy house frau going food shopping.

[tatsinfla]

what the hell is with the way she wears those belts...??...
