Michelle Obama: Fashion Audit

[Divisive Cotton]

It's fashion face-off in Paris!!

oh la la

 

[Melinda]

Ive just seen the photos, I think France won!

 

[Upchuck]

Has someone died? Why is Michelle in that dire outfit

France 1 - USA 0

 

[London_Calling]

Sarah Brown, holy smoke!

Her dress style is like a manifestion of the national economy.

 

[beeboo]

oooh, frankly they're both good outfits, but Mrs Sarko wins.

 

[Melinda]

What is the repeated red patten on Mrs O's coat?

Whilst not quite funereal, the dark colour so close to her face isnt great. And the pattern is horrid.

 

[beeboo]

It's floral and I like it She had a matching magenta dress on underneath

I envy Mrs Sarko's ability to turn an elegant ankle wearing flats.

Michelle needs to stand with her legs closer together. And Sarah Brown needs a stylist

 

[Ms T]

Hard to compete with an ex-supermodel in Dior (probably) but I think Michelle coped quite well.

In another fabric it might have been lovely. Close up pic



Cllose up, the reversed print on the dress looks like a paw print!
Im not keen on the neckline tbh. It looks home made.

 

[quimcunx]

I quite like it. I think froggie lady has petiteness on her side. Her coat doesn't look so great close up.
I think the necklines on michelle's coat and dress could have benefitted from different cuts, though.

 

[Melinda]

Please confirm her dress looks like its made from paw print fabric!

 

[quimcunx]

A little bit.

*pats melinda on the head*

 

[trashpony]

michelle's outfit is weird - it hangs really strangely

 

[Looby]

In that close up it looks like Carla has orange legs like a little oompa loompa.

 

[Melinda]

A little bit.

*pats melinda on the head*

But it does!!

*snort*

I was about to comment on her tights then I realised she has nude ones on

what is wrong with that photo. both of them have orange legs...

 

[Melinda]

Sarah Brown has much better hair than either of them. Better cut and colour.

Someone on another thread mentioned Michelle's helmet hair. Carla's looks lank.

 

[Upchuck]

Yes Sarah Brown does win in the haiir stakes, and thank you to Ms T for pointing out Michelle's legs which are way too far apart when she stands. That pink frock michelle is wearing in France looks rough and uncomfortable.

 

[beeboo]

I know it's bad and vacuous and wrong but I'm kind of loving this thread.

Sarah does indeed have the best hair. I don't know why Michelle insists of having her hair in that weird style. Maybe the height balances out her unusually large forehead

Carla is a bit funny looking IMO. I mean, that's no crime, but she was a model, so one has certain expectations.

It's hibiscus and I like it

Ahem

Michelle needs to stand with her legs closer together. And Sarah Brown needs a stylist

Yes Sarah's hair is the best of the lot but I think it's quite tricky with afro hair to be fair to Michelle - it's always going to look a bit helmety if you straighten it. I'd wear it short if I were her but I'm not

 

[Melinda]

Trashy- looks like she has been listening

I like her hair swept up this way, with the asymmetrical fringe.
Its unlikely she would be allowed to get away with a short crop. She'd get criticised for attention seeking.



This dress and accessories are lovely.

 

[beeboo]

yes, I approve

 

[kyser_soze]

She's like the Whitney Houston of politics

What, you mean a crack addict married to a wifebeater who pulls piles out of her ass?

No.1 resource for criticiising women on their appearance since 1992!

...I don't know why Michelle insists of having her hair in that weird style. Maybe the height balances out her unusually large forehead

I hadn't noticed an unusually large forehead, and don't see the problem, tbh, but I would like to know what is it with her mouth/jaw? I'm just curious to know, it just doesn't look 'right' but I can't figure out what's causing the not-right-ness. Is it an underbite or an overbite, or is her upper set of teeth wider than the lower ones or something?

I think she's really gorgeous looking, but it's just that little, erm, anomaly that is bugging me, purely in the sense that I don't know what the explanation for it is.
