The two floral dresses that first lady Michelle Obama sported in Cuba this week would not be affordable for the wide majority of individuals living in the repressive country.
US Weekly recently spotlighted two outfits that Obama wore during appearances in Havana on Sunday and Monday that, according to a Free Beacon analysis, together cost more than 23 times the average annual state salary in Cuba recorded in 2014.
When the president and his family landed in Cuba Sunday, the first lady descended Air Force One wearing a sleeveless, rose-print dress made by designer Carolina Herrera. The dress is currently sold for $2,190 at Bergdorf Goodman, an upscale department store.
Later, on Monday evening, Obama dressed in a floral, knee-length dress from designer Naeem Khan to attend the state dinner at the Palace of the Revolution in Havana, Cuba. A similar frock from Naeem Khan, a Barack Obama donor, available in the designer’s pre-fall 2016 collection costs $4,490.

An oldie but a goodie ping
That is a lot of cellulite on her back leg. Wow
Dang you are bad......but so darn right!
I am in the wrong business.
It is unbelievable that the 1st Lady spent $6,600 for two very ugly dresses. May be she got them for free, in which case, I hope the designers paid her $6,600 to wear them. Those dresses do not flatter her. Very sad.
“To be fair, her dress needs 23 times more fabric than the average starving Cuban needs.”
Yeah, it takes that much extra cloth to hide “her” package....
And there are idiots that follow them. SMH
Groovy nickname, if you don’t mind my saying.
Remember when First Ladies were actually ladies?
OMG!!!! THAT is EMBARASSING!!! She looks AWFUL!!
And that is why I will vote Trump!
Thankee!
OMG...she looks NEANDRATHAL!!
WTF is THAT?? And wear did she wear it?
That dress cost $12,000.
She wore it to a White House State Dinner in February, 2014.
See the story about it below.
The Painful Irony of Michelle Obama's $12,000 Dress
Earlier this week President Obama and the First Lady hosted French President Francois Hollande at the White House for an official state dinner. It was quite the affair with caviar, quail eggs, rib-eye and chocolate-malted ganache. 
In case you don't remember, Hollande is a full blown French socialist who deeply believes the only way to help the poor is by demonizing and soaking the rich. Hollande is currently moving forward with his plan in France to tax millionaires 75 percent after receiving approval from a court. President Obama holds similar views and has repeatedly told the rich they need to "pay their fair share" so that the rest of us can have a fair shot at life.
But it's difficult to take these positions seriously when the people taking them engage in the very lifestyles they claim to abhor. Take for example Michelle Obama, who wore a $12,000 Carolina Herrera designer gown to the state dinner earlier this week. Just a few weeks before the dinner, President Obama argued income inequality is a major problem facing our America. CNSNews noticed the cost of her dress is more than the average household income worldwide.
The blue and black designer dress that first lady Michelle Obama wore to Tuesday’s state dinner for the French president reportedly cost between $10,000 and $12,000, according to news media, which is more than the median annual household income worldwide of $9,733, and greater than the median income for households in at least 87 countries, according to data from Gallup.
Just before the dinner, Michelle Obama tweeted out this photo of her dogs at the dinner table dining on crystal and fancy china.
