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.

No matter....they still need a better hem....and this point SHOULD have been taken into consideration before this event.
LMAO!!!
That would be the curse of this nation and the true birth of the anti-christ!

MOOCHELL..." Burp.Belch..."
LITTLE MALAYSIAN GUY..."Is that Beer I smell on your breath...?"
BOzo..."Hey, short Malaysian guy...watch me do the ROBOT..."
You and I are on the same page -— it’s not a secret that one is expected to take off shoes before entering a mosque - so THINK AHEAD! Maybe this particular outfit doesn’t work for this particular visit?
Why not a longer caftan style top, with coordinating scarf, slim pants, and flats? Or the gauchos that come below the knee? Or a long flowing skirt?
It’s not like the President and his wife are poor and on a limited budget with limited choices!
The First Muslims.!
Cover your hair and neck, woman!
Hide your ankles and toes!
You are a man’s property here.
Where’d Obama get the extra legs? LOL!
God, I hope the shoes she left at the door were heels. Otherwise, someone forgot to hem her pants.

The closeup photo answers the question, “What did Edward G. Robinson look like as a baby?”
OMG! Imagine the howls if it was Laura Bush.
Is that them doing an impression of the Temptations?
Mosques...mosques...mosques! Have these “Christians” ever been in a church? Maybe a temple or synagogue?
Exactly! I swear my Grandma has that same outfit. Head scarf and all! Wait ‘til I tell her she’s a fashion icon!
Yesssss!! Compare this ‘look’ to her ususal- tight, with the bitty-boob-emphasizing belt. This is as close as you can get to the totally draped, body concealing hijab. It’s all droopy, drapey and even conceals the feet. Of course- going the full face-covering route would have been the MOST respectful( even fashionable in that animal print!) but the Husseins aren’t QUITE ready to be that openly Muslim yet. YET!
Wait for it!
*BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...Almost had the morning coffee on the screen... OK first off, pants? Second aren’t those lovely green(ish) pants a bit LONG?*

“Ms. Obama?”
“Who is it?”
“It’s 1972, it wants its pants back”
Looks like she has the three P's.
