Complete title: Well what else would one wear on a $4m break? From $2,000 dress to $1,000 skirt, Michelle Obama's lavish Hawaii wardrobe revealed
Michelle Obama successfully managed to rile U.S. taxpayers with her lavish $4m family jaunt to Hawaii this Christmas.
But it seems her expensive taste has not stopped there, as her vacation wardrobe has proved to be equally lavish.
Though the First Lady has only been spotted on a couple of occasions since arriving in Kailua, Oahu, some sartorial analysis of her fashion choices has revealed that her outfits have been consistently high-end.
A classic example, as spotted by the blog Naked DC, was the seemingly simple sundress she chose for a church service at the Kaneohe Bay Marine Base on Christmas Day.
The white frock with red and yellow stripes was certainly pretty and occasion-appropriate, but cheap, it most certainly was not.
A design by French-born, U.S.-based designer Sophie Theallet, who is a favourite with fashion insiders, it would have set Mrs Obama back almost $2,000 when she bought it in 2009.
More recent creations by Theallet sell for even higher figures, a mark-up likely triggered by demand following the First Lady's endorsement of the label.

(thinking hard for something nice to say) ahh,,um....at least she still wears clothing from 2009, she ah, er...somewhat frugal. (gagging on my words)
“”Well, to be fair, no one in my family ever taught *me* how to walk. But, I’m not filmed and photographed everywhere I go, every day of the year. I’d be a little more conscious of what I looked like, were that to happen. And, likely, I’d find someone who could coach me in the proper niceities.””
True. Most people do learn from observing but since those girls had their parents to observe, I don’t see that they had a chance of just doing what comes naturally - which is to walk gracefully!!! They seem totally unaware of what they look like to an outsider - but then so do their parents.
Is that why their parents don’t notice that they waddle from side to side like ducks? That’s not meant to be unkind. It’s just so unlady like....
I vehemently disagree with those who insult the First Ladys body.
It is childish and something a liberal would do.
WE ARE CONSERVATIVES!!!! GROW UP!
Its not her body it the manner in which she dresses said body. She is the Flotus and I want her to dress appropriately which she does not. If she wants to spend $2000 on a dress it should look like it cost $2000 not a Goodwill discard. Even a crusty old black pantsuits looked better than the current ghetto tramp style.
Michelle Obama:
Sundress: $2,000
Skirt: $950
Lanvin Sneakers: $575
Throwing her fat ugly ass out of the White House next year: Priceless
The first lardass opened herself up to ridicule about her appearance when she decided it was her job to lecture us plebeians about our dietary choices.
I’ve about had my fill of these f______ lowlife hypocrites.
