She looked ok in the black dress....could’ve been so much worse. You never know with Michelle.
I am not sure if black was appropriate to meet the Queen, though. I remember when Lady Di wore a black gown when she was dating Charles and he made a comment that black is reserved for funerals, serious affairs, etc. Not sure if this would relate to meeting the Queen for tea. I would not have worn black. Powder blue or almost any color would have been a better choice for an afternoon meeting.
LOL I think if I were First Lady I would go back and see how Jackie Kennedy dressed for various occasions and follow her lead. I suspect her outfits were always appropriate AND she had a great sense of style (I would love to see the little pillbox hats come back!)
