Although many observers said Michelle Obama looked radiant in her silk organza Alexander McQueen gown at a state dinner last week, she was criticized by some for not wearing an American designer.
New York-based Oscar de la Renta told Womens Wear Daily, This is a big industry in this country. Mrs. Obama does look great. She should take that and do something. She could do a great good for our industry. We need to create jobs here, create jobs on Seventh Avenue, too.
Tonight at the State of the Union address, shes wearing a more conservative silvery white three-quarter sleeve double-seamed sheath with a rounded neck. The dress is largely understated, but stands out against the darker-colored suits surrounding her.

While the First Ladys arms are usually her most dominant accessory, tonight shes chosen a stack of a half dozen silver and clear bangles.

Gag-me-now alert.
No reason to get into elected office if you can’t “live large” on someone else’s dime!
Ru Paul would make a prettier first lady!
She's not the first lady of this country. She's the first lady of "the world."
Gad, that is just terrible. Absolutely nothing to it. And it shows off her what? Wrists? Might be a good place to focus.
And a (somewhat) taller one!
That's because she has a radiator for an ass.
i must be getting old, ethel mertz is starting to look good.
Ginger vs. Mary Anne ? I like Lovey Howell.
sorry to hijack the thread.
LOL!!!
Now this is the reason some parents sent their kid to college? You couldn’t make me write this crap if you paid me in gold tonnage and held a gun to my head. (oops, can’t say that)
Actually one of the nicer things she’s worn.
Looks first Ladyish, well cut, actually fits,
understated.
Funny nobody ever remarks about the fact that Ethel Mertz was about 40 years younger than her husband.
My Mama always told me that if you can’t say something nice about someone, then say nothing at all.
I have nothing to say here..........
Not THAT is some first class butt kissing.
...”While the First Ladys arms are usually her most dominant accessory...”
Um, perhaps butt?
At least her arms are covered. It is not fitted around the (lack of) boobiture at all.
