In honor of Michelle, they should change the name of her pants from gaucho, to groucho.

Michelle Obama is a phenomena, she has managed to create her own look and pioneer young designers throwing them into design superstardom. And for her latest style outing the First Lady was seen wearing a British designer.
Michelle wore a gorgeous Spring/Summer 09 Basso & Brooke top to the White House Evening of Poetry and Music. She teamed her gorgeous top with a pair of white Maison Martin Margiela cropped trousers along with some statement silver shoes.
It is exciting to see her wearing Basso & Brooke who are a fabulous design duo but who have yet to gain the status of designers such as Matthew Williamson or Jonathan Saunders.
Unsurprisingly the designers behind her fab top were pretty excited, Basso & Brooke told Vogue.com:
“We were amazed when we saw the picture, She is such a strong, stylish lady - redefining a woman’s wardrobe - and for her to select us is an honour. The evening was a music and poetry event, and we think it worked perfectly for that.”
It was a great look, a perfect blend of dressy casual and fashion forward.
She has a face like a Basso
She resembels Festus Hagen. From Gun Smoke! Jeeze!
Nah! You might be overstating the case:-) I believe its more like just trying to dress a Jackass!
Her top looks like a piece of a patch-work quilt.
“Madam Obama” sounds like another Doug from Upland song, sung to the tune of “Lady Madonna” !
Just UGLY!! No other words are needed or required!

Thank you for the ping!
She grew another foot in the last day or two since she was fitted???? The pants just look like poorly fitting High Waters? They are UG——LY and Go-—fy Looking=D
Laura Bush wore clothes by some top name designers. I guess she just wasn’t ‘cutting edge’ enough for the MSM.
New money Hollywood dressing all they way.
Mrs. Bush dressed appropriately.
Mrs. Bush didn’t try to be overly appealing.

Something about this article made me think of this old 60s era song. The song itself can be found on “You Tube”, and it’s hilarious!
Well, she didn’t wear “the BELT” this time.
I was right...it is a one peice dress. Did they alter it? Is it rolled up?
I just don’t see Michele Obama as a fashion icon. She’s not an attractive woman and her body type leaves much to be desired.
It looks like they made her a “top” and she’s wearing it with cropped pants.
She also never tried to upstage her husband, because she know what her place was in the 'pecking order'.
