The first lady chose a dramatic Carolina Herrera ball gown with a voluminous skirt and lace-overlay top. The blue and black gown is the first dress with sleeves Obama has worn to a state dinner. Previously she donned one-shouldered pieces from Peter Soronen and Doo-Ri Chung, and a strapless gown by Naeem Khan for the administrations first official state dinner in 2009 for India. The dress includes a black hand-sewn beaded embroidery applique scallop-edged top over a liberty blue silk faille corset, according to a statement from the designer. A wide black velvet belt breaks up the top from the

Good one!
It makes her look short waisted. Too much fabric and the color just doesn’t suit her.
Bozo looks like he has “The Aids!”
Sorry, we do not want our elected representatives to flaunt wealth like puffed faux royalty. They have enriched themselves with our money and shoving it our faces while we are hurting is immoral. Sorry to ruin your fantasy.
“She should act like Laura Bush. She bought off the rack. Nancy Reagan did too. She actually purchased hers from the thrift store. Michelle BUYS the best of the best.”
You don’t actually think she BUYS those designer clothes. I would not be surprised if, either, they are given or loaned to her so the designer gets the free advertising or....you and I bought those outfits for her.
Boy that dress makes her ass look huge.
To me he doesn't look any larger than usual.
Does this make my a## look fat?
“.....it is leaps and bounds over previous selections.”
Indeed! It takes a lot of “leaps and bounds”, to get around that fat ass.
I can’t wait until she leaves the White House — kicking and screaming or of her own volition.
I’m sick and tired of sleeveless dresses. Enough is enough. Time for a fashion change.
what? what is a boob belt?
I would love that dress if.....the skirt was slimmer and a nice deep blue. That would be gorgeous!
A "Boob Belt" is a wardrobe accessory that is part of the Queen's unique signature style.
Some think of them as Klingon Death Belts.
if you are asking if all of her gowns are designed with Michelle in mind, the answer is no... i do not know that any of Carolina Herrera's gowns are specifically designed for Michelle...
yes--the Obamas do waste a lot of our money, and i do not approve... but i highly doubt Ms. Herrera received any money for that gown Michelle wore... but do tell, what fantasy of mine do you think you ruined? i shared no fantasy of mine with you...
i understand you might be utilitarian, and i believe there is a time and place for that... i am in favor of practicality... but i would not want a life of only what is necessary... sterile and bland... dreary... gives me visions of the society depicted in Fahrenheit 451... no thank you... i enjoy--appreciate beauty... and i take my lead from Jesus and His example in regards to the woman with the alabaster box...
TRUTH, GOODNESS, BEAUTY... words i live by... but i know it is not everybody's cup of tea...
(Carol Burnett made it look better :) )
i just read an article that stated Michelle added the velvet belt to the Carolina Herrera gown! hahaha! i guess she does love her boob belts! :)
OH MY!!!
Is nothing sacred to these people ???
Well, SOMEONE who’s not her friend is giving her fashion advice. That much is obvious! “Michelle, this belt is JUST the thing for that outfit in fact, it will go with EVERY THING! Very slimming.”
