I am feeling sorry for her. THis is such a mean thread. She is tall, ungainly, looks uncomfortable in gowns on a stage and is the center of everything fashion,,give her a break. She can’t help that she was born to be a big woman with a big butt and hips and ungainly.
I think she will improve over time. She looks so unsure of herself. And O just loves the camera doesn’t he,,he admires himself more than the press and that is saying alot. What a narcissist.
I don’t feel sorry for her. She has the ultimate SWAT team of make up artists, hair stylists, designers of every stripe for day and evening wear at her disposal. Hollywood, Oprah’s peeps, all the fashion world bow at her husband’s feet. No. She either doesn’t take their advice or thinks she ‘knows’ everything.
Now tomorrow, we will all read, for all eternity, how classic; how Jackie; how elegant. Tonite...we FReep!!!
I agree with you and another poster A few people are giving constructive criticism but more are just being mean spirited because they are dispirited I think some people are truly in shock and don’t know how to process these two being the First Family. She definitely needs a new stylist some women just don’t have the knack for it. Sarah Palin does if you look at how she dressed before coming on the national stage it was the same Classy, Smart, and Feminine. I just don’t think Michelle has that kind of fashion sense and that she’s hooked up with the wrong type of people for fashion advise
The media has compared the Obamas to the Kennedys, calling her the next Jackie O, so let’s blame them for the utter let down.
Great post. Love it when folks are fair! I’ve been very snarky all day; it wears ya out.
I feel kind of sorry for her too. I don’t think she looked horrible in her gown. She will want to be careful if she’s too tired to take it off before flopping on their bed tonight. Obama may mistake it for the bedspread. ;)
Seriously though, she looked lovely. There, I feel better, don’t you? ;)
BTW, I was wondering about her ring though. I noticed that she was not wearing a wedding ring on her “ring finger”...but rather a large circular ring on her middle finger.
I have a friend who designs wedding dresses and specializes in designing for women with figure flaws. She actually designed a gorgeous dress for a friend who is built almost exactly like Michelle. It can be done. Gosh she even designed a matron of honor dress for me for my cousin’s wedding when i was 7 months pregnant and I looked good!
i agree with you. because she looks unsure of herself and not terribly comfortable i cannot hate on her in this dress [which i do not think flatters her]. if she was up there acting like she THOUGHT she was all that and a bag of chips, i would feel differently.
