Michelle Obama's Dress what did you think? email this discussion to a friend?

whenever123 (27)   ranked 631 out of 2,828 in woman11 months ago

I was looking at pictures of the dress Michelle Obama was wearing. It was a very light yellow that looked beaded with a matching coat. I like that she stayed away from the boring navy or black, but the light yellow did remind me of a spring color, but this color does look nice on her. In fact alot of people are already comparing her to Jacki O, these are pretty big shoes to fill. I can't imagine what that outfit would cost? How do you feel about this outfit, I am a little undecided

I did not see it on television, but I just got a picture of her online with it on. It did look very nice, was not too fussy and suited the occasion well. She does suit that color. She must be excited tonight.

I don't know maybe it was the color of my screen but it wasn't a light yellow, it was a greenish color. I think it may have been the sun that made it look like yellow. At times it looked like a yellowish green. What gets me is that different news reports, report the dress at different colors. Some say a kind of lime green, one said gold, and another report said yellow green. I had to laugh at the media, already they are reporting things that are not really important issues in regards to the Obama's and already they are getting it wrong. I mean one of them might be right but they can't all be right when they all say different things.

But I did like that she doesn't wear the "uniform" I mean the way the various first ladies have dressed are in a kind of suit that make it look bit like a uniform regardless of color, even when Nancy Regan started wearing the reds, it still had the boxy look.

For one thing, not all women are built the same, and Michelle Obama, is a tall woman with curves, her shape isn't perfect but it shouldn't have to be.

That she dresses to suit her personal taste and style rather than the dictates of the women of the last 40 years is a good thing. I didn't know she was being compared to Jacki O, but it is kind of funny since it was Jacki O who started the box suits that first ladies have been wearing for to long.

I do however have to wonder, at the issue people have made over the wardrobe of those in office and their spouses, I mean it is an issue if these wardrobes are costing the tax payers a fortune.

I liked the idea of the Neighborhood Ball, and hope it is more than just a publicity stunt but genuine attitude.

I wondered about the tax payer part too, but she seems to go for the J. Crew styles, and the girls coats were adorable. I like the style but if you saw the ball gown she wore for the first dance it looked nice it was white one shoulder dress, it did look expensive but kind of nice to see some light colors since it wasn't the usual blacks, blues etc.

Yes it did, and it is nice that she is true to her own style, I read an interview with the designer not one of the big huge mega names but a designer that she knows and has used prior to being in the limelight and no doubt any designer would have been glad to give her a dress for the inaugaration balls, knowing it will end up in the smithsonian, but she stayed with a designer she has used for years. I Liked that a lot. It showed a lot of class.

The designer said in the interview he didn't know his dress had been chosen until he saw her on tv for the neighborhood ball, again I think it is nice that she didn't turn a dress into a media story oh sure others will but she didn't that also shows a lot of class.

On my screen, her dress and matching coat were gold with a beaded trim. I thought Mrs. Obama looked very nice for the inauguration. I found that her clothing appeared to be understated in style but that, when you got to see the fabric up close, it was fancier - yet still appropriate for the occasion. I've heard many comparisons too between she and Jackie O. I'm willing to bet that Mrs. Obama would find this to be a compliment, wouldn't you?:)

Michelle Obama is not just the First Lady of the United States. She is the First Lady of the whole world now. It is expected that she'll be wearing expensive wardrobes from day one up to the very last day of Obama's term. She is now under the public's scrupulous eyes. Let her be at her best. It is a shame if the first Lady is not properly dressed.

I personally liked it and wished I had something similar. I believe she got the outfit from Isabel Toledo and I am sure folks are clamoring the lady's door for similar outfits. I thought it was classy and she had Manolo Blahniks on her feet as well. $575 for the shoes. info from People recent issue.
