Michelle Obama fashion shocker!

Your horizontal bands are confusing!   (daily mail)

Noted fashion critic Matt Drudge is up in (sleeveless?) arms this morning over first lady Michelle Obama's fashion risk-taking in London! Beltway Confidential concurs!

"LONDON SHOCK FASHION," Drudge declares. "Michelle and the orange snake."

Has the usually fashion-careful first lady gone too far? What are those flowery bands around her midsection? What would Stacy and Clinton say? The Daily Mail breaks it down:

On a visit to Westminster Abbey she wore a trendy colourful tunic embellished with ribbons and fabric flowers.

Teaming the look with a patterned belt the U.S. First Lady made the most of her narrow waist, while smartly referencing eclectic catwalk looks by British designer Christopher Kane.

Worn with dark slim-fitting trousers she topped it off with not one, but two cardigans.

The paper notes that the double-cardigan may be owing to the chilly London weather.

It's Sasha Obama's eighth birthday, and the first lady took the vacationing girls on a tour of Pinewood Studios where the latest Harry Potter film is being made. Sasha and Malia met Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and the rest, then had a party with cast and crew in the set's Great Hall.

Two cardigans?! Deathly hallows!

HI HATERS

STOP HATING! Face it the First Lady can wear two garbage bags and a newspaper hat and she will still look more graceful and poised than you. Don't you get it? You have nothing to talk about on this women so you attack something as small as what she is wearing. She is more beautiful, more prestigeous, more stylish, more carefree, and definitely more smarter than 99.9% of you all. Get over it!

"HI HATERS," obviously Michelle IS "more" smarter than you, or should I just say smarter than you.

I'm in the business and love the Obama's, but I am not blind, so let's just say that it was not one of her best efforts. Everyone has one of these days where you think you got something going on and it falls flat with others.

Looks like she borrowed her daughters' clothes. What a frump this woman is. Comparing her to Jackie Kennedy is a laugh. Jackie would never have been caught dead looking like this.

One either has grace and a fine sense of style or one does not. THIS ONE DOES NOT.

It is evident that you all have nothing good to say. So you should not say anything. The woman is on vacation with her daughters and dressed for the occasion.

Michelle is way too big and ungraceful to wear anything like this. She looks like a football lineman.

The outfit is wild and cute - and great for taking the girls to a Harry Potter event or the zoo. But Westminster Abbey? What was she thinking? Is it a total lack of respect for Westminster Abbey and what it represents, or is it possible that totally against her will she was not allowed to change into something more appropriate before entering the Abbey. Sure.

Is she sticking her tongue out in this picture?

She is NO Jackie O!! More like O No!! The real Michelle is not pretty like all the libs want to try and make us think, all the photos on magazines are touched up and slimmed down to make her look good.. don't think she is hardly slim, more like Amazon Woman.

I think the Obama's need to fire their advisors. First the gifts were in bad taste, and now the dress. Don't the advisors let them know what the protocol is for foreign visits. They represent the American people and need to get better advisors to help them follow the protocol. Send the bums out!

Hello, I am a black woman but I am not insecure enough not to admit that her style is terrible, especially for a First Lady. She is so inappropriate , it is embarrassing. She needs help and she needs class.( cannot buy both)
