Cosmopolitan likes the outfit, but I don't.
To me, it looks like the dress is too large for her and it not flattering at all. I was pretty surprised when I saw her come on stage as she normally looks so sharp.

Those pics don't make her outfit look flattering or attractive.

I love Michelle Obama. I love her confidence. I abhor that outfit.

I love the colour, but the dress looks like a dressing gown.
I dont know what to think about the boots. Part of me thinks they're awesome and part of me thinks they're hideous.

I saw a clip of her appearance. I thought they were leggings, but could not focus on anything but, "The dress is hideous and does not fit."
I can't imagine why she could not see how bad it was when she looked in the mirror.

She is such a gorgeous lady and I never thought I would see her in an outfit I hated. This is the one.

I dont think those are boots, i think they are leggings. That is what I thought--but the news says they are boots. |

That looks like a kid playing dress up in her mother’s clothes. It’s hideous. Never thought I would have that reaction about one of her outfits.

I agree with you. Not a fan.

I dont think those are boots, i think they are leggings. The article says they are boots, has a picture of the boots, and has a link to purchase them. Did you read the link provided in the OP? |

When she became First Lady she inspired me to wear more dresses. This does not inspire me to wear glittery boots.

Two thumbs down. Fashion disaster.

I'm surprised she picked it...that dress doesn't even look good on the runway model.
But she was meeting SJP who has taken many fashion risks and worn some outrageous outfits in the past (also not all successful) so she probably wanted to try something different. In this instance I don't think it worked for her but I can see the thought process behind the choice.
Personally I don't like either the dress...it already looked like an ill fitting dressing gown on the super skinny runway model, or the boots which might work on a 20yo but are iffy on a more mature woman.
But if she liked it and had fun wearing it then more power to her.

The boots were fun, but the dress looks like a few yards of yellow satin wrapped around her. Not a good look at all, and I hesitate to think how much it would cost if a person wanted to buy it. She usually looks so put together.

I love the boots. I think she seems like she doesn’t love her dress either. I do think yellow is always a good color on her, but definitely think she usually wears more flattering dresses.

Yeah, the boots are ok, not my favorite, but they are ok. The dress is just awful. No style, no shape. It looks like it is made out of satin sheets from some 70’s bachelor pad.

In her book, she talked a bit about being surprised that people were so interested in what she wore. She also made it sound like she got tired of the JCrew look and wanted to branch way out, but the office didn't really encourage that kind of thing. Maybe this is the real her.
Those boots are a trip.

What I’ve always loved about her is that she never tries to be smaller. She’s a tall, strong woman with a tall, strong body, and she rarely tries to “minimize” with boring black.

I adore her but I do not like this outfit. I would've liked the boots if they had stopped just below her knee and the dress would've looked better if it had been more structured.

GOLD HOLO BOOTS WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE
She looks like she's a superhero and part of her costume is showing underneath a boring unflattering cover-up designed to hide her secret identity.

A miss. Sometimes I love her look and sometimes not. This is definitely a NOT.

She’s a beautiful woman. This outfit does nothing for her. It looks like she’s wearing a bathrobe.

After reading comments and hearing about her outfit, I expected to hate her outfit.
It’s not my favorite but it’s not awful.
The boots are fun. I’m not a fan of wearing boots that go over the knee, but they are trendy.
Her sparkly boots are awesome.
I’m also not a fan of yellow, but this doesn’t look bad on her.
The part that stood out to me is how tiny SJP is. I know Michelle is tall, but holy Moses. SJP doesn’t even look human sized.

I don’t like the outfit... but when in Rome. She was appearing with SJP so I can see doing something avant garde in that scenario.

I feel like it should have been the boots OR the dress, not both. It's like too many statement pieces in one look, like someone put on the statement earrings, the matching statement necklace and statement bracelet.

When I saw her a couple of weeks ago I wasn't loving the outfit she wore at that show, a 2 piece white suit with very long fringe hanging all down the sleeves. It was very distracting when it moved. I was more excited just to see and hear her talk AND that was awesome. She could have worn her bathrobe and I would be happy. Now that I see this outfit, all I can say is the other was very mild, almost boring. I do not like the yellow, it is not flattering and those boots... I will bite my tongue. My son tells me people are loving them. Hmmm, maybe I lack fashion sense.
