Michelle Obama In Prabal Gurung: First Lady Chooses A Very Large Bow (PHOTOS)

The always-fashionable First Lady showed her adoration for designer Prabal Gurung once again at yesterday's September 11th memorial concert in Washington D.C.

Michelle Obama has been known to rock the sophisticated and stylish dresses at various events in the past, from the White House Correspondents' Dinner to the high-profile Governors' Dinner.

Maybe she'll start taking inspiration from Prabal Gurung's recent Spring 2012 show for New York Fashion Week, a collection that oozed with vibrant colors and modern, sleek cuts.

But for now, at the moving memorial concert on Sunday, FLOTUS chose a more traditional look, donning a white racerback tank with an oversized bow from Prabal's Spring 2010 collection.

Check out pictures of the First Lady below -- what do you think of Michelle's Prabal pick?

Who let her out of the house wearing THAT? Way off base with that fashion choice, Mrs. O.

Did she wear clown shoes too? The size of the bow is ridiculous.

Maybe she had a big spot on her shirt and needed to hide it?

Both Mrs. Obama and Mrs.Biden are distastefully dressed, as it is not the time nor the occasion to be making fashion statements. It's a memorial service, commemorating the loss of thousands of fellow Americans, for God's sake, AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD MICHELLE LOOKS! They should COVER-UP AND BE MORE RESPECTFUL. Where's the Etiquette and what are the people dealing with PROTOCOL at the WH doing? That's a slap...Besides everyone of us is born with his/her looks and nothing can change that: NOT EVEN POLITICS! Some of you, commentors, need a Mega-dose of reatlity and get real...

Why do so many people think that Michelle dresses great? i think she dresses extremely frumpy and is very unstylish. She dresses like an old woman (and what's up with the new hairdo?). Honestly people, if she wasn't the presidents' wife would you all continue to say "she's so sylish, she's such a great risk taker, i love her fashion sense". I don't think so. Go to New York or to L.A. and see what fashion really IS because Michelle is a perfect example of what IS NOT!! Has she pulled the polyester over your eyes?!! I DELETE ALL COMMENTS

I think she has the ability to look great in fashion, but does make the occasional misstep, and this is definitely one of them.

The woman has style and she has the statue and great good looks to pull it off. She is smashing.

Your mind is so politically polluted by the, "love-lust" for the Obamas that you no longer can have an honest sense of reality or an objective comment or opinion! You are not alone: that's why the country's so much trouble!

I abhor their politics, but I give her credit when she gets it right...about 1 out of 10 times.

This dress is not smashing at all. It's unbecoming to any female.

Now THAT is a bow! Not my favorite FLOTUS outfit but she carries it well. A petite woman would be overpowered by it but MO has the height and confidence to wear it well.

It is a freaking big bow though.

Yeah, you are right. A petite woman would be overpowered by it. Maybe if Mrs. O was 14 feet tall this would have looked a bit better.

Odd choice for this occasion.

Does someone actually need to tell her that a 9/11 memorial is not to the time to make a fashion statement ? And a bad one at that.
