In short, this is everything I ever wanted for her to wear! I love the off the shoulder bands. I love the compliment and contrast of the matt and shiny blacks. The lowered, oblique line of the waist perfectly elongates her short torso. The sweep of the skirt is perfect too and the jewels…rather big and bold but they complete the look beautifully.

I love the color play with the Blue and Purple...

she looks gorgeous in her evening gowns...

loved every outfit except the one she met the Duchess of Cambridge in

Re: Mrs. Obama Wows Them in the UK

that dress and bolero earned her the criticism of wearing clothing that was &quot;age inappropriate&quot;. personally, i loved the look on her.

It is certainly age appropriate.

Her evening looks are my favourite though. I especially love the jewelry she wore with the black gown.

I love this ---&gt;



I'm with Bizi on the bolero thing she wore meeting Wills and Catherine. The dress would have been fine without the bolero.
