Bettina Wulff Takes On The Pantsuit (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 08/13/10 08:40 AM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 06:20 PM ET

After rocking a skirt suit-and-belt combo on Monday, Germany's Bettina Wulff attended Oberammergau's Passion Play on Tuesday wearing another First Lady-like ensemble: the pantsuit. She chose simple black slacks, a blazer and a white, button-down shirt, but spiced it up with a neck scarf and chunky belt. Take a look below and tell us what you think.

Me no likey this outfit....it's no pant suit....it's polyester blended pants and a linen blended jacket....she would've looked better and more feminine if she wore what the guy with the red tie is wearing minus the tie

She looks nice and tailored, and she's very attractive. The other suit did not need the belt not the flower neck piece, but her homage to our First Lady, Michelle Obama, was nice.

she ain't no fashion icon...........very pretty though. if you look back at other photos, her taste in clothing is pretty bad....someone call her a stylist

I like it, and she is very beautiful, but pantsuits are one piece suites not just pants and a jacket. The author must be young. All all the men wearing " pant suites" too, just because they have a pair of pants on?

It is pant suits, not suites. Thought I would correct it before someone else did.

Sorry to be a quibbler, but this is not a pantsuit. She is wearing the female equivalent of a sports jacket and making the fatal error of having "almost matching" fabrics. A pantsuit is a suit made of all the same fabric or a contrasting fabric top and pant that is designed to go together. This is neither. That being said, she looks fine. She is dressed up as much as she needs to be given the total train wrecks around her -- I mean look to her right -- that jacket with the half nehru for a guy should be burned.

Actually, pant suites were originally one piece.

Good eye! I noticed the color difference, too! But this look is much better than the one she donned last week! She's so attractive, no one was caring what she had on!

Just like one of the guys

She's no Carla Bruni or Michelle Obama. Nuff said.

Lol - exactly! So happy that this look faded by the time i entered the workforce.

It's not even an actual pantsuit.

In the workplace or in on official business, women should look ready to work, not like Barbie dolls. Shoes that are practical for walking and a pantsuit give the right impression.

Leaves his wife for a hotter younger woman while being a member of Germany's conservative/Religious party. If he ever moves to the US he can step right into the GOP.

They can double with Newt and his Cheverolet.

Metro, not only smart again but elegant. Elegance never goes out of style does it? There is fashion and there are fads and fads are not usually elegant but fun which there is a time and a place for.

Ballooning more than fabulous! Still high. If you haven't done it, it is a must for the bucket list. Ciao.

She's tall, 5'11" and look slimmer than the first photos taken of her after husband elected under some scandal as he left his wife for Betinna. She looks much younger here, is 39, than in the photos posted with the extra weight. Couldn't find any photos taken in the past two weeks. Hopefully we'll get someone on this site from Germany.

Let's try this again.

Bettina has an elegant, classic look. She shouldn't change a thing.

How's that.
