Michelle Obama makes a splash with $4,000 designer boots

Michelle Obama’s footwear is causing a fashion frenzy, after the former first lady sported sparkling $4,000 designer boots.

The “Becoming” author stepped out in the eye-catching pair of Balenciaga boots on Wednesday at a Brooklyn stop on her nationwide book tour. Former “Sex and the City” star and fashion designer Sarah Jessica Parker served as the celebrity guest moderator for the chat about Obama’s best-selling memoir.

The gold, thigh-high boots retail for $3,800, and several sizes were sold out or low in stock on at least one site selling them after Obama's appearance.

Multiple fashion gurus and first lady watchers went wild for the lux look:

The current first lady has also drawn attention for her footwear. Last year, Melania Trump's press office slammed the media for focusing on her high heel shoes as she boarded Air Force One to head to Texas to visit areas damaged by Hurricane Harvey.

In a headline, The Mirror called the stiletto-style shoes the "most inappropriate clothes imaginable."

Stephanie Grisham, Trump's communications director, said in a statement to CNN at the time, "It's sad that we have an active and ongoing natural disaster in Texas, and people are worried about her shoes."

Grisham also knocked the press for another instance of homing in on what Trump was sporting on her feet in a CNN op-ed last week, writing, "When Mrs. Trump invited children from a local Boys and Girls club to help plant vegetables in the White House garden, the media chose to focus on the cost of her shirt and the fact that her shoes were clean."

She can’t get it that you can expensive garments and footwear and totally blow it if you don’t know how to carry your frame. She has plenty of cash to do it right.....but her deep insecurities always show through...her body language tells it all.

Same thought here. She us awkward and obviously not comfortable in her own skin.

Yes. Trash was the first word that came to my mind.

All those liberals must be biting their tongues as they tell one another what wonderful taste Mooshelle has.

Her dream is to be inclusive with Hollywood as a Star.....she hangs with they Hollywood types a lot. One hand feeds the other in pushing political cash through the Hollywood stars.

That isn’t even a gown....it’s like wrapping a yellow satin sheet around her massive body bulk. Horrible choice.....and the footwear boots cheapened it to something you’d see on a street corner. Just awful!

I think it’s something they’d wear on the RuPaul show. Probably sold out, due to the fellow trannies knowing that if it fit that, it would fit them.

Tough to believe anyone would see this on the catwalk and think it was fashionable.....unless they wanted to cover their entire body....

I was having lunch when I saw your ping. I’m no longer eating.

Maybe looking at that picture of the wookie (I-still-can’t-believe-someone-poured-her-into-those-boots) will be used instead of diet pills. Certainly took my appetite away!
