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.

Somewhere a table is missing a tablecloth.
Ok, the top pic front view- from the waist down the design looks good. Gosh awful color and tire track design distracts from it though! Top of the dress should have been either strapless, or with both straps up, or both straps down, but not one up, one down. Her hair looks nice except for that top bit that looks like it got away from the Bobby pins and hairspray-makeup is good...overall though, the “fallen” strap and the horrid fabric/material totally ruins the look.
But I’m just an average housewife with common sense values and ethics-what do I know about “high fashion”, LOL?
If Laura Bush had worn it, the bodice would have been plain red without the black pattern.
My opinion only. LOL!
My God, what are they blackmailing Hilary with?!?
It must be a real doozy! Wonder if we’ll ever know??
How old am I that I understand that oblique reference?!!
LOL. :-)
Hillary looks washed out and ridiculously out of place in that pic with the Kennedy Center Honorees. That dress looks like a 1980's bridesmaid's dress IMO. I'm not an Oprah fan, but she looks great in that rich red color.
No comment on the pic from the Hu state dinner, as I can't see enough of the dress... but it looks better than Hillary's "Pink Nightmare" dress anyway.
What’s the phrase? Three sheets to the wind?
Remember when she wasn’t nominated by the DNC and what’s his name said there would be hell to pay? Then NOTHING FROM HIL FOR TWO YEARS...seriesly they’ve got to be blackmailing her with something BIG!!
(Can’t be threats against Bill, I think she’d go for that...)
I don’t know why anyone would scold us for having a little fun at the expense of the Usurper and The First Wookie. FReeper maggief’s M.O.Fashion pings are the best comic relief around for the 4 years of hell our country is going through.
FREEP ON FREEPERS, YOU ARE HILARIOUS!
WE ARE STILL FREE TO MOCK OUR GOVERNMENT!
Party Poopers, go to another thread, something more WORTHY of your sour attitude.
I think this dress is not the worst thing I’ve seen on The First Wookie, although it is hideous.
Regarding the straps, which come in second to the horrible color, I think the straps should have BOTH been designed to be off the shoulder. That or, both should be on the shoulder. But it would be a great improvement in design to have them both off the shoulder (with appropriate strapess bra, Michelle!) and the dress color should not have those horrible dirty swirls.
Why or why can’t The Wookie dress well? She has all the money in the world, but picks horrible designers. Any of us could choose classy outfits for The Wookie. Poor Wookie. You can’t buy class.
Cheers!
It looks like a giant red Rorschach test to me.
In fact i think i see Karl Marx near her left hip.
This ignorant, clumsy, unfeminine, tasteless blowhard of a female represents our country. It is extremely relevant how she presents herself.
P.S. By the way you represent your wife, I am confident she would do better - sight unseen.
What's with the side flaps on that dress? At least Hillary has her upper arms covered. Does Michelle not own anything with sleeves?
OMG....Thanks for the ping.
Expensive silk. Off shoulder that looks as though it’s falling off. Some weird asymmetrical draping that looks as though a corner got tucked in her underpants the last trip to the john. And the dye job - another random “looks like stains”.
This is the guy who hung himself 9 days after his mother passed away. Well at least he didn't end up filing bankruptcy like 3 other Moochelle designers did.
YIKES!
It’s the Attack of the Killer Tomato!
As Rastafarians like to say: She looks like a Blood Clot.
...or a really big hemorrhoid!
