Granted, she is hippy, I think we called 'em "childbearing hips" in college, but she dresses well for her shape. I'm certainly a fan. I did not love the gown but think it probably looked better in person. Actually, this is the best shot I've seen of it. And I haven't really seen it on tv yet.

Earlier today MSN was showing a slide show of past First Ladies ball gowns--man, there were some doosies. Can you say Mamie Eisenhower? Mrs. Carter?]]>Jan 21st 2009 5:29PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/01/20/michelle-obamas-jason-wu-gown/http://www.luxist.com/2009/01/20/michelle-obamas-jason-wu-gown/

It borders on tacky. Her earrings hit the
Tarzanlike strap and it makes her look pregnant. She
needed a more tailored look (something sleek.) It also made her look big and gawky where a sleek gown would have made her look statuesque and regal. She also has a pretty face and her hair should have been pulled back or up. It pretty much looks like an office hair do. A red or brighter lipstick would have made her beautiful brown eyes sparkle even more.]]>Jan 23rd 2009 6:06AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/01/20/michelle-obamas-jason-wu-gown/http://www.luxist.com/2009/01/20/michelle-obamas-jason-wu-gown/Jan 25th 2009 6:41PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/01/20/michelle-obamas-jason-wu-gown/http://www.luxist.com/2009/01/20/michelle-obamas-jason-wu-gown/
She is a large framed woman - nothing wrong with that, but being one myself, I know that some styles that I LOVE, simply do not do a thing for me. It is something somebody around the First Lady should have advised her on before the event. Then the white makes you larger anyway, so while a lovely idea - it is simply not for her.

Her inauguration outfit was great - but it could have been made utterly splendid if rather than the horrid green gloves and shoes, she would have worn a clear red. The president wore a red tie, Mrs. Biden a red coat, it would have blended in well and made that outfit of hers sing harmony throughout the event.

Keep watching!]]>Jan 26th 2009 9:59AM
