After the controversy over Michelle Obama‘s colorful McQueen gown at the State Dinner caused by a miffed Oscar de la Renta the FLOTUS must have learned her lesson, since her State of the Union look was all American. She wore a conservative, silver, scoop-neck Rachel Roy frock, paired with a stack of lucite bangles.
Don’t get me wrong, she looks really nice, and I know that on this specific occasion she probably downplayed her “wow” factor since it wasn’t at all about her. But I would’ve much preferred seeing MObama in one of Roy’s bright colored gowns or something with more of the designer’s signature shine.
While I favor the moments when the FLOTUS takes more of a risk and wears dresses that flatter her figure a bit better, she does stand out in that sea of drab suits in the silvery white sheath. What do you think of Mrs. Obama‘s choice? Tell us below!


Michell looks very well in any thing she wears, let her be our First Lady and let her alone, She is very intelligent and i like her Personality also.
I think Michelle Obama looks elegant in anything she wears. She only has to please herself.
Michelle is a classic elegant beautiful woman. Let her wear whatever she wants! Leave her be and stop trying to pick her apart! She has never done anything to dishonor her position. She only enhances it! Shine on Michelle! We love you!!!
Thank God she covered her arms for once!
It wasn’t the dress that deservedthe attention — it was the color — white! Got time to write & be a fashionista? You really need to research what the white color represents. I got it! Michele always looks great & she has great looking arms among her great looking body parts! She is a great First-Lady in my humble caucasian opinion.
I am old enough to remember the Jacquie Kennedy years in the White House. This dress evokes the beautiful elegance of the sheath that was such an iconic look of that time. Mrs. Obama is a knockout (and yes she is just as georgous in person) and I’m so proud that she and the President represent the US, whatever she is wearing.
