Michelle Obama Flops Again

Maybe the future first lady should stick to J. Crew. Her outfit on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno was the best thing I’ve seen in awhile. Tuesday night, when Barack Obama was elected president, Michelle Obama walked out in, yet again, another designer dress that just did not work.

The black dress with red detailing was frighteningly reminiscent of the red hourglass found on the bottom half of a black widow spider. Rodriguez showcased a sexier version of the dress as part of his spring line this past September. I did not really like it then either.

Not only was the color not very flattering, but the cut was off as well. Michelle Obama has wider hips and insists on wearing things that make them even wider. When will she learn one of the most important rules of fashion: Just because it has a designer label (and will presumably cost thousands), doesn’t mean it will look good on you?

  • i completely agree. I was standing in Rockefeller Center in NYC with thousands of other people, and the first thing I said to one of my friends when I saw her was "WHY did she choose that dress. WHY!? It does NOT work on her." Sad. Cause now she has to look at these pictures of her for many years to come.
    Great post!
