The First Lady has excited the fashion world, but like Diana she would rather champion the less fortunate than be a mere clotheshorse.
Michelle Obama’s flair for fashion has captivated Washington and set the hearts of glossy magazine editors aflutter. She has already eclipsed Carla Bruni, the super-model chanteuse and wife of Nicolas Sarkozy, the hyperactive French president. Not since Diana, Princess of Wales, has there been such a glamorous role model at the apex of society.
In her white, one-shouldered chiffon gown, she boogied to Stevie Wonder’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours and slow-danced with her husband at a succession of inaugural balls. Barack Obama held her lovingly around the waist, clasping two fingers around her back, and nuzzled her. Women’s Wear Daily, the influential American fashion magazine, said her ball gown made the Obamas look like newlyweds.
By the time they reached the last ball in the marbled hall of Union Station after midnight, “Michelle looked absolutely exhausted but still managed to keep smiling. It was quite an intimate dance – they were either collapsed in each other’s arms or feeling very close to each other,” said another dancer.
Michelle, 45, has a theatrical sense of style, from off-the-rack colourful clothes from J Crew at less than $100 a throw, to pricey designer outfits such as the sparkling lemongrass matching dress and coat that she wore to the inauguration ceremony. But she is determined to carve out a role at the White House that is more than national clothes horse.

The First Lady looked like a remake of The Curse of the Mummy at those inaugural balls. Lon Chaney wants his dress back.
You can't see it?
Someone on another thread opined that she looked like James Brown in drag.
The face is decidedly primate.....
Pass the popcorn.
OH no, that is the first shot I’ve seen of Mrs. Plugs....what was she thinking with the short coat and knees showing above the boots in that weather? Did the Spice Girls dress her?
If Michelle is as lucky as Laura, some great stylist will come to her rescue.
Does anybody remember some of the odd things Laura used to wear - especially the first year she was in the White House. But later on, she began to wear a certain style which really complimented her figure and her coloring. I’d take the Laura Bush style any day compared to Michelle’s current style - or lack thereof.
Trouble here is that we have so many pictures to remind us of how wrong they are!
"She has already eclipsed Carla Bruni, the super-model chanteuse and wife of Nicolas Sarkozy"
The First Frau's substantial derriere definitely eclipses that of the lovely Carla Bruni
"Not since Diana, Princess of Wales, has there been such a glamorous role model at the apex of society."
Indeed, we are blessed to have a First Frau who is so much more glamorous than that dowdy Princess Di.
"Michelle looked absolutely exhausted but still managed to keep smiling. It was quite an intimate dance"
At the end of the day, our Michelle was radiant in her chenille bedspread, gazing lovingly into her hustband's eyes during this intimate dance.
“Fred Sanford! You old heathen!”
Michelle is a bow-legged tank trying desperately to copy the style of Jackie Kennedy. This constant drooling over Michelle is sickening!
maggief! Ahem!
Wow if that’ s a loving gaze I’d hate to see her when she’s mad.
And why does she not wear a wedding ring?
And why was she court ordered to relinquish her law license?
Inquiring minds want to know!!
Uncanny resemblance, doncha think?!
:oD
Probably taking after the Jesse Jackson family she spent so much time with growing up and was mad that she didn’t get a cut of the action.
It looks like an unfolded diaper pinned to the gown.
Is that the inner Michelle?
More like Evita Peron with a little Eva Braun thrown in.
LOL! That’s classic.
yea, I see the resemblance. Will she divorce her husband after a series of affairs and end up engaged to a prominent muslim and have a car accident in a tunnel too?
Will the insanity ever end?
