Today, America gets a new First Lady. Shes beautiful a former model! with an impeccable wardrobe and the money to buy all the couture she wants. So why, when President Trump and his family are long out of the White House, and his administration is enshrined in the annals of history, will Michelle Obama a woman with no connection to the fashion industry before she came into public view be remembered as the more iconic of the two?
Its simple. Becoming an icon is about more than just a pretty face and an international platform.

...will Michelle Obama a woman with no connection to the fashion industry before she came into public view be remembered as the more iconic of the two? Boob belts *are* iconic. That point cannot be argued.
However, a woman whose fashion sense is completely absent, who was as likely to wear something mildly attractive as something hideous, is hardly a fashion trendsetter.
I think the narrative that Michelle is an unsurpassingly beautiful fashion symbol is just more of the same tired old liberal propagandizing. Like the narrative that all conservatives are racist sexist bigots, it has little basis in reality.

In other words, the media won’t let her become iconic. As if they actually control it.
The media thinks (!) They made Michelle an icon. They are loons!

When the media writes this crap, they are digging the hole deeper. Pretty soon they will be in China and that’s is when they become beyond help.

"Were they drunk or stoned at the time?" The Forbes editorial staff must be taking L.S.D. Their minds are projecting images of Michelle on the wall and they think she is Lucy in the sky with diamonds. I'd hate to live with the flashbacks.

Cute girl, but that outfit is not exactly something special. So I question her taste in fashion.

FAKE NEWS = false prophecy
It used to be I laughed at Mad TV and took the news seriously. Now I equally laugh at dishonest news.

I think because of Trump's policies on NAFTA and TPP, Forbes is going the way of the National Review when they were all in for Cruz. Forbes needs to go on all company cruise and chill out, eat lobster and spend some Jacuzzi time.

Is true, Mrs. Trump will never become a fashion icon in the same category, a category of fashion icons which includes Mrs. Obama and Chewbaca.

I predict that the Mooch will put on about 50lbs in the next year. Partying and vacationing 24/7 will do that to you.

“The strange thing about all of this fashion nonsense is that I dont think Mrs. Trump really cares what they think about her,Michelle does. Melania is VERY comfortable in her own skin,Michelle needs the attention.”
Well, it is easier to not care about fashion nonsense if one has more than just beauty.
Melania has both physical beauty, a beautiful personality and brains (speaks 5 languages, etc).
Mrs. Obama has a fresh shave(twice daily?).
