I thought that her outfits were rather tacky and ugly...both the greenish gold number for the inauguration and the ugly gown for the evening...the top of the gown at first glance looks like it is made of ripped up fabric. Everyone says she has style, I can't say that I think she has it anymore than anyone else. She's worn some pretty ugly outfits herself. She's a rather big boned woman, not at all delicate in her features, and that fact alone causes her to not look the best in some of the clothing styles/colors she chooses. It seems that a hardness of sorts is in her inner nature that comes out in her looks and no outfit is going to beautify that. I have seen many plainly dressed ordinary women whose inner gentleness and meekness make them more beautiful than I have ever seen Michelle Obama look. Also, Michelle should remember that the color black is the epitomy for elegance...black with a small highlight/touch of some other carefully selected color. I think she would have been more effective had she stuck to that idea throughout the whole day.
