Not everyone was impressed with First Lady Michelle Obama's choice of gown for the state dinner with the Chinese president. Storied designer Oscar de la Renta was a vocal critic of her choice of a red Alexander McQueen by British designer Sarah Burton. "My understanding,” de la Renta told Women's Wear Daily, "is that the visit was to promote American-Chinese trade — American products in China and Chinese products in America. Why do you wear European clothes?” Many wondered why Obama didn't wear a creation by one of her favorite designers, Taiwanese-born Jason Wu.
