I personally think that Michelle Obama needs a new stylist. First she is wearing what looks like a camo dress to the church services today. Second lets talk about her choice for inauguration day. Yellow/pea green is not a flattering color on anyone, especially on the biggest day of you life. The dress had no shape, and with the same color jacket it looked like a parachute!

The first lady was clad in a long white gown designed by up-and-coming designer Jason Wu, 26. The gown made especially for the first lady is made of ivory silk chiffon, embellished with organza and Swarovski crystal rhinestones and silver thread embroidery, according to one of Wu's publicists.

Wu told CNN he didn't know that she had chosen his gown until her first ball appearance Tuesday night.

"It's thrilling. ... For a young designer, I couldn't ask for any more than this," said Wu, whose design style combines modern lifestyle dressing and haute couture, according to his Web site.

He designed and delivered the dress at the request of Michelle Obama's aides in December, according to fashion expert Mary Alice Stephenson, contributing editor at Harper's Bazaar.

Wu -- who has been in the business for three years, according to InStyle.com fashion director Joe Berean -- said he intended the gown to stand for everything that she and President Obama are about. Listen to Berean critique Michelle Obama's inauguration outfits »

"It's about hope. It's about newness," he said. "It's all a little dreamlike, and we're making history, and I wanted to really reflect that."

I thought the inauguuration dress was very pretty. The color was flattering and had nice symbology. I liked how in the morning the dress looked yellow, in the afternoon it looked more green, and at night it looked golden. I really liked the ball gown too... except they both kept stepping on it!

The yellow "dress" and green gloves she wore were hideous.. but I always applaud people when they wear clothes like that. So I thought it was pretty funny and interesting.

I pretty much agree with everything they say here. She should have worn the Michael Kors. But honestly I have never expected for her to become a fashion icon... She's not here to enlighten us with her amazing fashion sense you know? So no judgment over here.

I thought her yellow ensemble looked okay on TV, and the beading reminded me of the new Valentino a bit. But up close it was definitely too matchy for me. The white dress was pretty, but it wasn't for her IMO.

Who cares what she wore? She's an awesome woman. I personally thought she looked fine in her yellow dress. It was sophisticated and age appropriate.
