Barbra's looking a mess.

James Brolin could so get it, though.

I've loved this broad since I saw her special on TV back in the 60's, but she should BURN THIS DAMN SUIT! She looks like she could accompany one of the Hasidic's walking in the diamond district. Hell, all she needs is the big hat, the side hair curly-ques and that apron and she'd be set! No disrespect intended to our Hebrew friends...

She was TOO OLD for Yentl! Yeah, I said it! What?!

Michelle could wear a tater sack and still look damn good !

The First Lady is always beautiful

De la Renta disses first lady’s dress

Oh, it's on now. Fashion designer Oscar de la Renta was no fan of first lady Michelle Obama's state dinner dress. And he didn't keep his opinions to himself.

Obama wore a red dress from the late fashion icon Alexander McQueen. And while De la Renta didn't seem to have much of a problem with the dress itself, he did openly question the decision to go with a European designer.

De la Renta told Women's Wear Daily: "My understanding is that the visit was to promote American-Chinese trade — American products in China and Chinese products in America. Why do you wear European clothes?"

De la Renta added that because of Obama's star power, she could use her name to boost the business of "young, very talented" people who need the publicity. De la Renta isn't talking about himself, he insists. "I'm old and I don't need it."

The Huffington Post explains that this isn't the first time De la Renta commented on Obama's fashion choices. In 2009, he dissed Obama for wearing a sweater to meet Queen Elizabeth. "You don't ... go to Buckingham Palace in a sweater." Apparently if you're the first lady, you do.

The First Lady is so beautiful and the dress is perfect. Love the shade of Red.

Man, looks like they're having a great time.

i just love Bill & Hillary too.

Who is that? He's cute!

She looked GORGEOUS in that gown. I swear, this woman can't catch a break from her haters. If she wears:

American designers......They'll bitch.

Foreign designers.........They'll bitch.

Inexpensive designers..They'll bitch.

Young, unknown designers..They'll bitch.

Established designers....They'll bitch.

She should just wear what she feels comfortable in.

Dressed in a red petal print silk organza gown by Alexander McQueen, Michelle Obama stopped high-profile traffic Wednesday night at the White House State Dinner for the Republic of China. The brilliant red color is a symbol of luck in Chinese culture, but there was more to her designer choice than just diplomacy.

The first lady's unofficial stylist Ikram Goldman, a Chicago boutique owner who commissions many of the looks worn by Mrs. O, is an admitted fan of the avant garde designer who died a year ago. Mrs. O wore McQueen originals twice last year, but this is the first time she's modeled a gown in his name.

The red dress was made for the 2011 resort collection by Sarah Burton, and was altered slightly at the sleeves to show off Obama's famously toned arms. Despite a focus on politics at the White House dinner, the guest list boasted icons of the fashion world like Vera Wang and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. But all eyes were on the first lady, whose impact on the global fashion industry is unrivaled.

Her leverage comes with credentials; over the past two years Obama's selection of designer gowns for political events has been bold, thoughtful, and spot-on.

Don't let TonyVanDam in this thread cuz she is throwing the illimunati hand sign!

The secret handsign that they call a triangle even though it's actually a diamond?

I do not care for the print at all. I am not a fan of florals or prints on dresses anyway.

And I do not know what her shape is but I am thinking that dress is not the best for her's.It seemes to flair out way too much below her waist.

Not her best look.

But BO looks (lol I just got a joke about their dog BO) looks nice in his tux.

Michelle Obama wows in a $35 H&M dress

First Lady Michelle Obama appeared on the "Today" show yesterday to talk to Matt Lauer about a number of issues, including President Obama's job performance and the fact that he now has quit smoking. She also dispelled rumors that her husband dyes his grey hair and spoke about not letting her daughters on the social network site Facebook.

But, in the fashion world, the big news from Mrs. Obama's interview was her choice of dress. The first lady wore a breezy, feminine, polka-dot piece, not from some fancy big-name designer, but off-the-rack and available for $34.95 from Swedish company H&M.

Here is the original H&M dress, which is currently in stores. The first lady's version was customized with longer sleeves.

The navy frock is part of the retail chain's current collection, which is in stores across the country now. Mrs. Obama's office said her stylist customized the look by adding three-quarter-length sleeves and pairing the dress with a bold orange belt (in lieu of its original red cloth sash) and bright yellow heels.

Though lately she's been making a splash in higher-end designs, like the Alexander McQueen gown she wore to a recent state dinner, Mrs. Obama is no stranger to bargain fashion. In the past, she's donned $10 t-shirts from the Gap, sundresses from Target and is known to favor mid-range chain stores like J.Crew.

It's also not the first time she's chosen a design by H&M. On the 2008
campaign trail, she famously pulled off a striped shift dress from the chain and paired it with a thick black belt, part of a signature look which was said to make her seem more accessible to many American women.
