I like a lot of them but I know for sure which one I don't like: Betsey Johnson's. It's sooo tacky.

I love the Betsey Johnson one just for the fact that her drawing is so unconventional.
 But yeah, the dress is...... |

Yeah the Betsey Johnson is fug but you gotta love her comments on the side LOL. Also, WTF at Zac Posen's design. FUG FUG FUG.
I like the silhouette of the Nicole Miller design but it's a little too pretty. But I'm seriously loving the Michael Kors. It would be gorgeous on her! Next would be Monique Lhuillier for me. Badgley Mischka - the whole mermaid tail effect wouldn't be good on Michelle Obama at all since she's quite bottom heavy. |

I love Betsey too, but it's like come on, Michelle would be the joke of the world if she wore that. My favorites were Monique Lhuillier- beautiful Diane von Furstenberg- so f*cking chic Peter Som- white looks great on african americans (no racist) Oscar de la Renta - very like "I made the dream" family oriented. but wtf was up with Christian Lacroix? |

Gosh, most of those seem too party-ish to me. I know, it's a ceremony and all but I would love to see her in something simple and classy. Less red carpet, more Jackie O.

I like Oscar de La Renta's dress for Michelle Obama. Very nice. And yes, DvF's designs are so elegant but I don't like the yellow stripes.
I also like Karl Lagerfeld's white suit. Very Jackie O. |

These WWD sketches are actually for the Inauguration Ball, so I think the more red carpet, dressy looks are appropriate. However, some designers included day looks for the rest of the events that day as well.

that yellow suit is cute in theory, but imagine if she'd actually worn that!
all those drawings are so interesting |

She dresses alright, but I don't understand why being first lady automatically puts you into a fashionista judgment object.

^ Because what you wear is 90% of what people judge you by. Your appearance is pretty much everything. I mean, when you first see someone for the first time ever, you notice what they wear and their style. If you see a girl who wore nothing but all dark clothing, with piercings, etc, you would judge them as some bad girl, with a "I don't give a shit" mentality/attitude. If you saw a girl who wore mini skirts during the winter, you would judge her as she's easy and slutty. So what I'm getting at is, that what someone wear is really important. You do not want to be misjudge. First impressions are very important.

yeah but there is a difference between michelle obama dressing nice and being OMG SO FASHIONABLE! that's what i mean by it. she shouldn't dress like a hobo or something in the white house but i don't think she should be criticized that much over her fashion cause it's not like that's a requirement to be first lady.

I can't deny at all that image is important, but she's not the president. And even if it is that important, I would not pride myself on judging someone purely on their appearance. I would at least attempt to judge her (or the president) for their actions and not what kind of clothing they're wearing. Like, why is it so effing important that she dresses just as well as Jackie O did? Fashion icons are overrated.

Because our society is superficial, and doesn't see it like you do, or some of us. Most Americans are narrow-minded.
