Michelle Obama chooses a custom Christian Siriano dress for her Democratic convention speech

Michelle Obama went as low-key as Melania Trump had gone high-style, choosing to deliver her convention speech in a cobalt-blue silk crepe A-line dress with cap sleeves.

The dress, custom-made by New York-based designer Christian Siriano, who shot to fame after winning the fourth season of “Project Runway” in 2008, fell to just below the knee and was paired with a pair of metallic heels that industry trade publication Footwear News identifies as Jimmy Choo pumps.

It's good to be queen.

[PghBaldy]

It was not very impressive looking.

[txrefugee]

Hahaha…Michele has to have her dresses custom fitted for obvious reasons.

[DiogenesLamp]

She can wear spun gold, and it won’t make that Hate-Filled witch any less ugly.

There is a term for this: ghetto booty

The consensus here was that it looked so bad because she was wearing body armor. She could have picked a better dress to hid the armor.

I had to laugh that she felt the need to wear armor at her own convention.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Just because she dresses in a Christian dress
doesn't make her a Christian
anymore than a Ford Fiesta
\painted in the came colors as a BMW
doesn't actually make her a BMW !

A pigs ear is still a pigs ear
no matter if it looks like silk
get it wet,.. and it still looks, and smells like a pigs ear !

[Buckeye McFrog]

I thought only stuff out of the J-Lo collection would fit her...

[jazminerose]

Can’t make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t.

A thirty angry ferrets in a burlap bag ass woman with man shoulders and hands, and a set of teeth a cannibal would admire, in a high fashion smock. Oh yeah, let’s compare her with Melania Trump.

How much did it cost?

[falcon99]

“It was not very impressive looking.”

Like Hitlary and her $12k Georgio Armani jacket, you can’t cover of an ass like a government mule, with expensive cloth.

No one points out her white girl hair. Her trying to look caucasian who spent a month on the beach in Phu Ket.

[RummyChick]

That dress has kind of weird top area ..so Michelle odd look might not have been body armor


Just the wrong kind of dress for her

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Why in Hell would Satan’s Sister, wear something with the term “Christian” attached to it?

[IamConservative]

Good color for her.

Definitely be better than Hillary’s Serape of the Day.

[dhs12345]

Only $1000?

BTW, it doesn't look like much for that much money. However, I am not a fashion aficionado.

[circlecity]

I bet they don’t comment on Hillary’s choice of dress. You know, that $12,000 burlap sack with buttons.
