Wearing a bidness suit to a formal state dinner? Shame.

8. Here's a teabagger's response
Oh, big surprise that it's a RED dress, isn't it? Commie Red, too, just like Republicans are red, you...uh...yeah, that's right, we're red and the Demoncrats are blue, uh...

I think I just screwed myself over big time. Must soak head in Lysol now.

you can get more or less the same result with just a search for "nancy reagan" -- her wardrobe was *that* red.

and she wore it in china -- omg!!

48. Not to rain on a parade, but she, like me (I'm olive-complexed) cannot
wear any pastels outside of some accent pastel green (and she could wear lavender, which I can't do).

She does look STUNNING in the dress and I've made my mind up to get some more red as a result. I look good in it, I should wear red and emerald green more often.

Thanks, Michelle!

20. More INFO regarding the dress
From http://mrs-o.org/

First Lady Michelle Obama wears a red petal print silk organza gown by Alexander McQueen to tonight's state dinner at the White House. The color, red, is not a surprise, as it connotes courage, loyalty, honor, success, fortune, fertility, happiness and passion in Chinese culture. The choice of designer is more of a surprise, and a wonderful honor to the late designer Alexander McQueen.

Thankfully we have a First Lady that can.

21. Don't like the falling off one shoulder look too much.
But Michelle Obama looks fabulous and can pull off just about anything. On someone less glamorous that dress would make the wearer look like they've had a bit too much plum wine.

34. What's the matter with me?
This reminds me of all the blather when it reported Mrs. Obama wore "short shorts" on a trip to Arizona. I dove to click the link then, and I did it again today, I think mostly expecting to see more flesh.

38. Usually I love Michelle's clothing choices but
I think this dress is horrible. It does absolutely nothing for her, she has a great figure shouldn't hide it in that sack. :-(

I think it helps that she's so tall. And proud of it, she doesn't slouch like a lot of tall women do.

57. She looks like a queen, or an empress, or a grand duchess.
Very regal and elegant. Makes you want to stand straighter. If THAT is the current political "role model" that symbolizes the American Woman, then we should all be VERY proud! I've never seen her try to get by, having worn the upholstery, or as one photo farther up demonstrates - a blue pinata, like the last woman in the First Lady position. Ugh! Michelle Obama on the other hand is the epitome of style and class and elegance. She's the closest thing we have now to the Jackie legend.
