The sapphire was a very good color for her. I could not possibly care less how much her dress costs. She is the first lady of the US, and this was a state event. Had she been in something off-the-rack, she would have received bad comments as well.

The first couple earn money, whether it be his salary, her book royalties, or interest on investments. She can buy whatever she wants, as far as I'm concerned.

Yet this forum simply loves to point out how badly the folks at DU treated Laura Bush or Nancy Reagan. Apparently the Obamas don't have the hypocrisy corner to themselves.

Michelle has 22-23 staff working for her. You would think that at least one of them has some fashion sense and advise her on clothes that accentuate the good and minimize the bad. There are simply clothes Michelle cannot wear with her body proportions. Her choice of styles and colors and appropriateness is simply abysmal. It’s that simple to understand . . . except for Michelle.
