Michelle Obama’s State of The Union Address Look: Our Picks

Jason Wu:
A little black suit is just too perfect.
Caroline Herrera:
A shift for yourself?
Donna Karan:
Winter white is risky, but Michelle can pull it off.
Oscar de la Renta:
Don't think "ladies who lunch," think Jackie O.
3.1 Phillip Lim:
A power suit, enough said.
Vera Wang:
Or a bit more femme?

Michelle Obama has by now most surely recognized that people really care about what she wears not just about how good her sick arms look in it – but the politics behind her sartorial decisions. Ah, politics, you just can’t seem to get our of their grip First Lady, can you?

After the whole Oscar-de-la-Renta-has-so-much-to say-about-that-gorgeous-red-McQueen to-meet-the-People’s-Republic-of-China-President-Hu-Jintao fiasco that ignited last week, the FL (First Lady, yo) may or may not want to lean Americana for tonight’s State of the Union address. I mean the country’s still pretty much a mess, and although Obama’s approval rating has increased, wearing a little Made in the USA (well, at least designed in the USA) can only help matters. If the US people can’t like the new health care system, they might as well swoon over your Wu! Plus, if you go Parisian or something Oscar is going to totally lose it (ugh, and just imagine the proponent of socialist countries remarks).

    I HAVE NEVER BEEN IMPRESES BY MRS. OBAMAS STYLE OF DRESS. I WOULD RATHER LOOK AT FIRST LADY BUSH IN HER
    STYLE. MORE CONSERVATIVE AND MORE LIKE A FIRST LADY
    SHOULD LOOK.

    Laura Bush dressed like an old dried up prum.. no colors just boring.. now this FIRST LADY is off the chain. Love her fashion!! WORK IT MRS O

    Please…stop comparing her stunning style to the rubbish of the past. What she wears is always tasteful and appropriate, modest and classy, vibrant and practical. I’ve borrowed some of her belted-waist looks and have received many compliments.

    I can’t think of any women I admire and respect more. To see what that women has accomplished in my lifetime astounds me. I was not allowed to dance with Ricky in junior high. He was black and I was white. The principal and the vice principal separated us while we were dancing the mash to the monster mash sung by Boris Karloff. I remember Lydon Johnson signing the cival rights act and black people without cars and only working unskilled jobs. To witness this womens achievements following that environment leaves me dumbfounded. She is remarkable.

    I detect a bit of envy from eileen l cuenow’s comment. Or maybe it’s hate or racism. The fact is the First Lady is Fine and Fabulous. The President is also Fine and Fabulous. They are both intelligent and articulate. The First Lady is classy and has her own style and she flaunts it. That’s what you cannot stand. I watched the interaction between Prince Phillip and Mrs. Obama while the Obamas were in the UK. Prince Phillip ogled Mrs. Obama the entire time. Prince Phillip literally could not take his eyes off Mrs. Obama.
    The stereotypes you people created are blowing up. You might as well face it and embrace it. We aren’t going back to the old ways. You’ve never been superior to us, but I know that you need to believe that in order to make yourselves feel important. You are not superior to anyone. You’ve done everything you can to try to destroy Black people, but it hasn’t worked. You are so afraid that we will do to you what you’ve done to us. That is why you fear us so. The United States will be a much better place when all you hate mongers die. You are not better than me in any way.
