Both dresses are ugly. Michelle looks like she has no boobs. She should also never wear a belt.

Michelle Obama looks great but Margarita Zavala's dress looks like something a housewife would wear around the house in the 60's and 70's, only if it were to the knees. Not a good look.

I like the structure of MO's dress- but not a fan of the fabric - it looks way too shiny. i like that the Mexican FL tried to incorporate her heritage, but the structure of the dress just isn't becoming -

The curls are very flattering, she looks less harsh and much more feminine than she does with her usual style. Why did her dress have to to be so very tight up on the top? Is she trying to create an ample bustline? I fail to understand why she cannot improve her posture, as poor posture just ruins even the most beautiful of gowns. All in all, this is probably one of Mrs. Obama's most beautiful gowns and overall attractive looks.

Why won't you put up your pic ms. america, I bet you are so homely scaz, that's wjy you are using snoopy as your avatar.The FLOTUS is drop dead gorgeous in that gown and love the new due. The women is extremely tall and most tall people have problem with their posture.

And what is wrong with her posture. She is standing tall and straight! Her dress is tight up top because this was not the occassion to show her brest. She is always eligant and well groomed. Don't keep trying to understand, some things you nor I need to know. If she needs help with anything, she's in a postion that she can get i!!

Michelle Obama is the the first women to bring style to the White House since Jackie-O. Both women are beautiful. I like Michelle's dress a little better.

When I saw Michell's dress and her the word was WOW, OH MAY!! both women Margarita Zavala and Michelle Obama looked prospering and beautiful ..

Regarding her hair. I do like the curls. On another post, someone mentioned it was closer to her natural hair and that is why it is so flattering. I think with her strong features, soft hair looks better. Like Oprah, when she does not try to have too straight hair...... it is more becoming.

Straight, limp hair is NOT a natural aesthetic NOR a flattering coiffure for black women. The more texture, the better. It suits our African features much, much better. Ashe!

Black hair has LIFE and grows upward, toward the SUN in a multitude of spiral formations like the granulations on the surface of the SUN, like the double helix in our DNA and the galaxies and black holes of the Universe. Narmer!

Well, then why the heck doesn't the first lady wear her hair more natural? I am sure with a hairstylist at her disposal, it would always look good.

You're going to have to give me Webster's version of that word.....
12:41 PM on 05/20/2010
I think the dress is a tad too glitzy, bordering on cheesy.....a cross between Wonder Woman and Diana Ross and the Supremes. Her makeup and hair look great. Less is more!!

Would it suit you if she dressed mammified?
