Modestly chic: Michelle Obama dons a headscarf as she visits mosque on Indonesia trip

Her impeccable dress sense has been praised throughout the world.

So it was no surprise that Michelle Obama managed to be stylish and show respect to her Muslim hosts when she visited a mosque on her tour of Indonesia.

The First Lady covered her hair with a beige animal-print scarf as she toured Jakarta's Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in southeast Asia.

But there was a nod to her sartorial instincts in the form of beads and turquoise fringing at the neck.

Though her wide-legged Stephen Burrows trouser suit was simple in cut, Mrs Obama is never one to shy away from vibrant colour, and the edgy chartreuse hue was evidence of that.

She last wore the outfit by the Harlem, New York-based designer back in July.

Taking off their shoes, as another sign of respect in the place of worship, she and her husband strolled along a carpet laid across the sprawling courtyard together.

good gracious, he looks like he’s taking a leak. Her outfit leaves one speechless....

Well, at least in this pic she doesn't look like Diana Ross and the Supremes.

I wonder how many little girls will be asking Santa for a Michelle Obama wig this Christmas?

Between the outfits HRC and Michelle are wearing overseas, it looks like we are exporting the Great Pumpkin and the Jolly Green Giant.

how on earth can anyone say she has style?

She just one big arse classless woman who cannot carry herself with grace at all.

Dang it.

I’m in a cube here at work. My co-workers are gonna start wondering why I’m ROFL.

“three P’s”

Sheesh! I better quit this thread now and get back to work!

[manc]

is that her panty line again?
Why can;t this woman just get some decent clothes and have them fit her for once?

Who is the dumpy little dude in the hat?

“don the little hat to tour the temple in India”??

What ‘little hat’ are you referring to? Maybe you are mixing up Jewish temples with Hindu temples?

[trisham]

Weird.

[trisham]

LOL!

[Gasshog]

Lumpy @$$ wife of a traitorous impostor

Yeah, that’s liberal class for ya.

[OB1kNOb]

Did she remember to walk 3 steps behind Obama at all times? LOL!

[trisham]

LOLOL!

[pillut48]

Same protocol for Hindu temples.

Oh, wait. Barry was too busy to visit any while he was in India. NEVER MIND.

[trisham]

LOLOLOLOL! Stop! You’re killin’ me! :)

Ok, if she had been wearing 4-inch heels under the pants and then took them off, I could understand the pants being too long. But she always wears flats! So why so long?

I was wondering that too. Boy does she look uncomfortable. She appears to be holding up her pant legs to keep from tripping. Doesn't she travel with a staff person who can stich a hem? Or maybe she was wearing four inch platform shoes. LOL!

To anyone who says “who cares, it doesn’t matter what clothes she is wearing”, I say:

Michelle’s clothing is a symptom of a far greater problem, which has been hinted at after their election debacle. The Obamas seem to be taking no advice or suggestions from ANYONE about ANYTHING, not even the most obvious clothing issues.

I’m a complete reject when it comes to fashion, but you can bet that if my husband became president, I’d hire the best people who wouldn’t let me go out in public like this!
