We had Jill Biden with her fishnet hose and knee high boots.
We had Michelle Obama looking like a school marm in J. Crew.
We had Barbara Bush with her white hair looking 80 years old when she was 40.
We can handle Usha!
Huh? Michelle Obama is up there with Melania and Jackie as one of our most stylish First Ladies. I will give you Jill Biden dressed like shit sometimes (although I think she was well groomed) but come on. To throw Michelle in there with her and Barbara Bush just belies your partisan view.
Michelle Obama had so many great looks and nowhere near as many missteps and weird costumes as Melania.
+1 I hate a lot of what Michelle wears now but I can’t think of anything she wore in the White House that was inappropriate and I loved most of it.
I am the poster who said that Michelle, Melania, and Jackie Kennedy are our most stylish First Ladies and I stand by what I said! And no, I don't think it's partisan as another PP accused me of - two are Democrats and one is a Republican, so it's clearly not partisan at all.
I can't think of any major missteps Michelle made as First Lady. I remember a bit of manufactured outrage that she went sleeveless more than her predecessors but I hardly think sleeveless shift dresses are inappropriate. Saying she looked like a "school marm" as a PP did is ridiculous.
I also can't recall any major missteps Melania has made other than the Zara jacket and heels to a FEMA site. And I think those are less missteps and more she's a socialite who would rather be anywhere but here. I believe Melania's even admitted as much that the Zara jacket was specifically to piss Donald off, unless I interpreted her former assistant's comments about it incorrectly.
Here's the thing, they both wore/wear things I don't like. Michelle hasn't been FLOTUS in almost 10 years at this point so I barely remember specifics of her outfits I didn't like, but I do recall a weird high neck blouse that made her look like an alien, and in keeping with the extraterrestrial theme, I hated Melania's flying saucer inauguration hat lmfao.
Regardless, they both have a distinctive style, dressed age appropriately (they are/were on the younger side for First Ladies), know what colors/shapes look best on their bodies. They branched out and tried new things. They were both impeccably groomed.
Idk, I think they both have good personal style and are fashionable women. They have very different looks; Michelle was more sporty (her look has even kind of evolved now) and Melania is more glam, but they've both had pieces I would love to borrow lol.
