First Lady Michelle Obama donned a stunning, one-shouldered, red gown on Wednesday night for the state dinner for visiting President Hu Jintao of China.
Her color choice was a gracious nod to her Chinese guests: red, while the dominant color of the Chinese flag, also symbolizes prosperity and happiness in Chinese tradition.
The dress was designed by the label of Alexander McQueen, a beloved British designer who committed suicide less than a year ago.

her dress is crooked.
I think the dress is pretty, too. - I’m not one of the Obamas’ fans, but I don’t want to strain at everything and make myself sick about trivialities.
ah, the black widow dress. that is what I thought when I first saw that get up.
Is the dress haunted? Is Alexander in there with her?
Aaaaaaayyyy... Ahm jes sayin’...
Agreed. Note the wrinkles front and back on the bodice under the strap. The other side is smooth as it should be. Why on earth would she wear a dress that is obviously designed with two straps as a one strap??? Why???
The designer committed suicide after designing this dress? After touching Michelle for fittings, I guess I’d do anything to get rid of the stench and ickiness, too.
During a recent bomb scare ate the White House, the Secret Service told the First Couple to haul ass. Mrs Obama had to make two trips :>)
Regarding the ‘Immaculation Dress’ worn by Me!chelle. The Hillbuzz Boyz (well, Kevin) called the white, pouffy, one shouldered gown ‘Wilma Flintstone recycles used Mr. Coffee Filters.’
Jason Wu, who designed THAT Obamination would be schooled by the costumed department at CBS (who did Burnett’s ‘Drapery Dress.’)
“I saw it in the window, and I had to have it...”
Yikes! That picture of Hillary is frightening.
well, I think this is an interesting dress & actually looks half good on her... I am 20 years older almost - than she is & think it would look better on me. Meow! LOL I think the reason why is that I would stand up straight & not slouch & I am tall also & have a better body . Meow Again.
Thanks for the pin as usual Maggie.
BTW, is there a Mrs. Hu?
She looks like a polyp.
She looks like a marxist, America-hater. No dress will cover that reality.
Meeting with a communist while decked out in the communist's colors.
Lordy! Hillary needs to develop more than a nodding acquaintance with shampoo. Her hair is greasy and flat looking.
I’ve seen Hillary in some pretty dreadful outfits but this one takes the prize. She looks just awful all around.
Oh, gawd. That tie-dyed schmatta is not designed to be an off-the-shoulder dress; but she always has to make some affectation to put her ghetto stamp on things. Grow up, Michelle.
Maybe that's why Hillary left hers at home.

Michelle Obama commie red and black. How fitting.
