I like her dress a lot. I don't care for the shoes, though. |

| I think she looks amazing. I love how each First Lady brings her own style to the WH. Way to go, Michelle! |

She looks classy. Michelle is too large of a woman to carry off that look. Jackie seems petite and womanly, Michelle is not fat at all but she is a HUGE woman. She needs something that plays her size down. |

| Perhaps she is reinventing conventional beauty, and it takes some getting used to. After all Marilyn's size 16 was the social norm at one time. I think the black dress is played down, it's the only color that shrinks anyone. The pearls are classy and her exposed arms show strength. |

| I've met her in person she is not HUGE - she is tall for sure - not huge. |

Size 16 back then was closer to today's 6 or 8. Sizes have changed drastically since Marilyn was around. If you ever shop at Banana Republic they are an example of skewing sizes. I am a 6/8 there but a 10/12 elsewhere. Makes people feel happy shopping there. |

She is a BIG woman. Not calling her fat but she is tall and large. |

I said don't need not that they don't get it. |

She is not a BIG woman. I am not even sure what you mean by big - probably she is not built like a WHITE woman. Black woman have butts and legs but that by no means makes them big. Michelle is very small up top and has a very narrow waist. Please don't go around calling people big simply because she doesn't have a flat butt. |

| Little in the middle but she got much back! (I am quoting in a good way). |

When I see her on tv, standing next to her husband or other people, she looks big. I said she was not fat and I have not seen her from behind. She looks like a large woman. White women can be large as well. I am not talking about her ass or the fact she is black so I am not sure why you mentioned that. I am talking about seeing her standing next to other women. She is a large woman. Big boned maybe. Never said it was a bad thing, just saying she is not petite like Jackie O. |

| Come on, people. If you cannot bring yourself to acknowledge that this is a gorgeous woman and a stunning photograph you've got some serious issues (election didn't go your way, your own body insecurities, racism, whatever). |

UGH, no one said she was ugly or was not gorgeous. SHE IS JUST BIG. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.... |

| I think that she looks great. The sleveless is really a lot of what she's about - not being so stuffy, opening up the White House and being more transparent. I think it actually has some pretty strong symbolism there. And she looks great. |
