The way the Associated Press is fawning over Michelle Obama and her supposed sense of fashion, you would almost think they were talking about Carla Bruni who really does dress quite elegantly and oozes glamor. To add to this absurdity, the AP also went out of its way to paint the Russian First Lady as frumpy. Um, advice to AP personnel; don't expect the Russians to go out of their way to help you in your stories in that country after that gratuitous slam on the wife of their president. First let us watch the AP's Catrina Stewart act dazzled over the "superstar glamor" of Michelle Obama:
MOSCOW (AP) - Michelle Obama brings her superstar glamor to Moscow this weekend as she accompanies her husband on his summit with the Russian president.
But the American first lady, who has wowed publics in the U.S. and Europe with her easy elegance and charm, will perhaps face a bigger challenge in winning over a Russian public that has scant respect for women who grab the limelight from their powerful husbands.

Is she preggers?
I saw it as well and it confirmed what I had thought when seeing pictures of her in slacks; she has legs and thighs that would make a sumo wrestler proud.
Agreed... it’s not to overly criticize MO but the styles and colors just don’t fit the occasion nor look appropriate for a first lady as she visits another nation! Wear that red grapefruit color to a cocktail party instead! Just MHO!
“Circus must be in town!”
... or the Clampetts.
Because she was hoping it was some Mad Dog 20/20? Night Train?
She’s looked just like that for a year. We humans don’t gestate that long ...
It’s a pretty color - I’d look great in it. Even Michelle doesn’t look bad, except for the idiotic belt. But the whole outfit is just *wrong* for her position and the event.
Folks, I am not an Obama fan. Michelle is not purely ugly at all. If someone would dress and accessorize her for the world stage she would dress out OK.
That was my thought. This coral number looks like something the mother of the bride would wear to a candlelight ceremony.
Dumping the belts ain't gonna help.
I like the empire waist dresses because they are comfortable but they do make you look like you are expecting a happy event.
But that belt is just wrong. And it can't be comfortable.
Her arms are hideous, they look like spider legs.
Mrs. Medvedeva looks genuinely puzzled by something in that photo. Whatever it is, it’s in the vicinity of Michelle’s chin, lol.
Oh that's right, her fugliness does.
BTW, imho, Mrs. Medvedev looks very, very nice and is dressed age appropriate. She's stylish without looking like she's trying to be "stylish".
Hey you left out Boone’s Farm!
Michelle OBOZO dresses more as a KENYAN Tribal Princess; that hardly qualifies as glamorous even when compared to the designer outfits that Helen Thomas models each day in the WH Press Room! The AP sold out their objectivity long ago.
