Everything the FIRST LADY wears looks good on her. She has confidence in her self so she can wear what ever she wants and it looks good, because her confidence shows through.

[ldmason45]

As a woman of color, I too have to watch what color clothing I wear. When I saw her in the yellow dress (#6), it reminded me of a dessert I make for my kids. The one where you dip bananas in chocolate on sticks and freeze them. Her consultant should never let this happen.

[Azimat]

This fashion coverage is infuriating. If Michelle Obama is doing great deeds, let's focus on them.

[QuietLightTraveler]

Now why is this so important. She is a good looking woman who dresses nicely. Fine, but I always see these articles about what she is wearing. Obviously women make articles like this popular. What can I say - the majority of women are shallow and focus on clothing. Enough said.

[NoSillyName]

That is not true at all.

[ArgyleSlim]

To be able to vote on something this important, well, only in America.

It makes me proud to be able to pick Michelle's best overseas outfit.

It's participatory democracy in action.

I'm so proud, I wanna weep.

[ConservativeCarl]

Who really cares what this woman wears? I wanna know how much taxpayer dollars she's spending to dress the way she does, and how much is spent to take those kids globe trotting with them?

[silentobsvr]

Mrs Obama does not need to use tax payers money to buy her clothing or to travel with or without her children. She is a successful wealthy woman in her own rights.

[americanalien]

Michelle Obama looks beautiful in whatever she wears. What I love about her is the fact that she is very confident and comfortable in her own skin. She is a great role model for women all across America and the world. She is the best first lady we've had since Eleanor Roosevelt.

[samandally]

What the eff has she done that makes har so good?

[ItHadToBeSaid]

Its quite obvious from the tenor and tone of your post that no matter what she's done, you won't be receptive to it.

On the off-chance that you are willing to enlighten yourself and actually learn something, I will say this: You have a computer -- do some research. A few of your searches might center on Education, Healthy Eating, International Goodwill. In the six months she has been First Lady, she has done much and certainly intends to do more. Just because Huffpost TRIES to reduce her to nothing more than clothing (and you and many others fall for it), doesn't mean that's all she's concerned with.

Sp!t out the b!tterness pill and perhaps someone will be willing to spend more than the 45 seconds I have already w@sted on you.

[kbkw54]

Just what has Michelle done in the last 8 months? Plant a garden ? LOL

[ItHadToBeSaid]

Which is likely far more than YOU have done . . .

[t iessa]

And a garden full of lead to boot!

[FloridaLady131722]

What is the hype about Michelle's outfits? Most of them are plain. She is a down to earth lady with a huge title, "First Lady." You didnt follow any other first lady like you are following Michelle. Find some real news please!

[perspective123]

Very true, the media knows the Obama nation will read and respond thats why it is out there, I know both the First Lady and the President have a tuff job so let's report on their more important efforts!!!

[rjupiter]

Aren't clothes fun? Here's a great clip with great costumes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_GnbY7nJl0

[Dem4Lyfe]

I clicked on this just based on the headline because I have to post. To cover Mrs. Obama's fashion sense it useless, pointless, not germaine, and really just stupid to have included in media that is suppost to care about important issues. This is worthless.

[Tugar]

ENOUGH ALREADY !

I like Michelle Obama as 1st Lady, but being very frank about it, I don't care for most of her outfits! Many of which is said to be expensive, and sometimes not. But her choice of style is not to my liking. However, I am glad to see her not wearing those form-fitting dresses she used to wear.

They were not suitable for business or daywear, more like evening cocktail dresses ! Other than that she's an excellent First Lady !

[blueberry312]

Her out fits were ok. I would say were too young while others where too old, but a few were cute :)

[lab221]

I think Michelle's outfits were okey, but what's with the wide belts????

[rini]

The way she wore the belts did NOT complement her figure at all. The dresses were too high waisted and too short. She doesn't have a big stomach, but she sure emphasized it. I like her in monochromatic colors and shapes that are appropriate for a grown woman. The teeny sweaters and high waists make her look bigger than she is.

[AbyGail]

The real story is not which outfit looks best, but how she looks pregnant in each of them.

[burtmckinly]

Oh my? A baby on the way? Please, please, please. Would this be the first First Baby?

[rini]

I don't know. Maybe she is. Maybe she just wore the wrong shapes for her figure. I'm not sure. I don't think, though, that that high waisted thing is doing her any favors.

[MeetJohnDoe]

Would you stop with the vapid fashion coverage?

It is really boring. And stupid.

Oh, and sexist.

[burtmckinly]

Looks like she fell out of a vending machine.
