Over the past few years, Michelle Obama has generated about $2.7 billion for the fashion industry, just by getting dressed. One appearance in a $34 H&M dress, which she wore this month on the Today Show, can make a stock skyrocket, turn an unknown talent into a star, and send millions of shoppers to the mall, even in a sluggish economy. It's the Mrs. O effect, but it's not all the work of one woman. By the time her husband hit the campaign trail, 'Mobama' was already assembling her star team of fashion and beauty experts. But these are not your average red carpet stylists. All have roots in Chicago, and all work together to facilitate the first lady's unique brand of elegant do-it-yourself looks. "She’s the most casual first lady we’ve ever had," says Kate Betts, author of Everyday Icon: Michelle Obama and the Power of Style. "That hasn't changed since she's been in the White House. She's still wearing high-low fashion, floral dresses, and belts like she did on the campaign trial." But after two years on the job, her influence on the fashion industry has solidified and so has her dream team.

President Obama: “Everyone Must Sacrifice”
That second photo at the link she actually looks good. Black dress one.
“She’s the most casual first lady we’ve ever had,”
Casual - take out the u and trade an a for another l and add a NO in front and you’ve got NO Class!
One reason I love FR! Oh, yes, thanks for that/lol.
“”another one where she is walking up the stairs with the first ladies of Italy and France””
Photoshopped - they were never together in the same place at the same time.....
Maybe it is Kraft Foods, or Counrty Fresh, or Deans.....I certainly seem to see an awful lot of COTTAGE CHEESE in her styling. How did that ever become fashion? Maybe it goes well with the chicken wings and ribs she was feasting upon in her last vacation.
COTTAGE CHEESE BIKINI
Looks like Bjork in the “swan dress”.
“”Where did all the curtains go?””
I don’t know where the curtains are but Hillary’s wearing the upholstery or rug fabric if you’re looking for that.
If what you say is true, I’d remove that belt immediately. Not only do you look like a fool, but it will stop the laughter being chuckled behind your back. ;)
She’s the FPBSOTUS- First Pot Bellied Stove of the United States.
...and another one where she is walking up the stairs with the first ladies of Italy and France***
I do believe you are talking about the picture of her walking up the stairs in front of the Bush girls.
no I don’t think that is the one I mean.
She is going up the stairs with the Italian and French first ladies and from the back she looks awful especially as their first ladies look very classy and their clothes fit them
I can’t do it but can you post those photos of her going to airforce one showing her panty line, walking her dog etc please.?
Yes they were and I’m looking at the photo.
Maggief can maybe show those photos but I assume you have seen them.
It’s horrible, her fat ass, her panty line, is well and truly on display .
To see those first ladies and then ours is horrible, M.O. look like she was dragged off the street.
you’re joking right?
