Her impeccable dress sense has been praised throughout the world.
So it was no surprise that Michelle Obama managed to be stylish and show respect to her Muslim hosts when she visited a mosque on her tour of Indonesia.
The First Lady covered her hair with a beige animal-print scarf as she toured Jakarta's Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in southeast Asia.
But there was a nod to her sartorial instincts in the form of beads and turquoise fringing at the neck.
Though her wide-legged Stephen Burrows trouser suit was simple in cut, Mrs Obama is never one to shy away from vibrant colour, and the edgy chartreuse hue was evidence of that.
She last wore the outfit by the Harlem, New York-based designer back in July.
Taking off their shoes, as another sign of respect in the place of worship, she and her husband strolled along a carpet laid across the sprawling courtyard together.

She is wearing a pair of “Oops I Crapped My Pants” under the Bur qua.
In case you missed this, Ping!
No I’m not.
At first it was planned that Obama would visit one of the great Hindu Temples while in India. He would have been required to wear a head covering while there. A Baseball cap would be a no-no. It was said he canceled the visit because of the head covering making him look “Muslim”. So now he takes his shoes off.
I went and found the article where I got the news.

“......The New York Times, citing an unnamed American official involved in the trips planning, reports that the president will not stop at the Golden Temple, a Sikh holy site and one of the countrys most popular tourist attractions, because visitors typically wear headscarves, turbans or Muslim caps.......”
BTW....it’s like he is telling the guy & reporters...watch out for ‘Chelle...she hasn’t had her morning coffee yet!
She wore her pajamas to the Mosque?
Good Lord, I almost threw up. That’s putrid. you just can’t buy class.
Why does her body language constantly scream I don’t give a damn?
lol!
She knows she looks like heck in the clothes they told her to wear and is not a happy camper. Would not be surprised is she didn’t frumpy it up to cause her hubby more consternation with the press.
thank you for the ping! These low lifes will never fail to make me say... WTF?
seems she has much contempt for him.
Yes...there is a lot of distress in that marriage.
