I mean what former First Lady was a socialite after office? Jackie Kennedy is the only one I can think of. And she didn’t seek limelight.

Indeed

I like that she’s confident and bold despite her large size.

And Jackie really only started living the super rich socialite life after she married Onassis.

She looks like she's taking some risks while dressing more casually. As should be expected given where she is in life (empty nester who is able to spend time with her husband).

I'm empathizing a little with her on those khaki pants. I can totally see myself buying something like this from Nordstrom and thinking "Oh, they will be so cool and light and breezy walking around Italy" and they looked really cute in my room at home with the mirror. After sitting around a hot outdoor cafe, having a plate of pasta, a pastry and maybe even some gelato, and sweating a bunch, I realize that the linen pants that fit fine in my room are now a wrinkled, binding mess. And I think "Why did I buy these? Why?" I never buy linen pants anymore, after spending a summer in a NY heat wave with a pair of "splurge" linen pants that I loved in the store and looked like hot sh--t whenever I wore them for more than 5 minutes.

This is a good look for her.

That’s four years and at least 20 pounds ago.

I really liked her style as First Lady much better!

+1
Michelle's FLOTUS clothes were awesome and appropriate, more than can be said of certain others.

You mean what she is wearing these days as a millionaire socialite?

Living their best life in Italy!

You know what? You may laugh but this still seems like a happy couple having a good time and looking foxy and fine while doing it. Yeah, Michelle's gained a little weight in the last few years. It's been a hard few years for us all.

I think they both look really good. He is fine.

Yeah I’m cool with women being confident but let’s not pretend her outfits are fashionable and awesome. The two don’t necessarily go hand in hand.

She’s always tried to sneak color in. It suits her.

I kind of love this one.

At first glance I loved it, even though I don’t do bold patterns personally. But what in the world is going on at the waist?? Is it supposed to be a two piece outfit and she wore a netted/chiffon slip under it? Or is it made like that? Either way, whatever is going on in the middle ruins an otherwise good look for her.

I think it's one of those two piece outfits with the cropped top and she wore something under it.

This is from the 2019 Grammys. I love the color on her. It’s a good color for shiny and sparkly.

I love her to bits but that looks like a garbage bag project from Project Runway. Maybe it looked better in person—some shiny fabrics photograph badly.

Agree. Again, ill fitting. I can only imagine the comments if a photo of a Trump family member or staffer turned up at an event wearing this bag.

Love love this color. I think she’s dressed for comfort in these kinds of outfits. Also aren’t “pajama” suits for women going to be the rage this fall?

[Anonymous]

I also think she favors metallics.
