Michelle Obama's ball gown

What did you all think about Michelle's red Jason Wu gown and her new do? Hate to say it, but I wasn't crazy about the dress.

Loved the Jimmy Choo red patent pumps!

The jury is still out on the do. See discussion on Out Went The Light about possible hair weave. I thought she was way too made up, especially at the inauguration ceremony.

Here she is in 2009.  Much better in my opinion, but you know I'm partial to white.

Red or white? You tell me.

  1. I prefer the white dress, too. And I hate to say it, but I don't like the bangs. I think she would have looked better if they were swept to the side. Really, very few people can pull off straight down bangs.

  2. White dress, no on the bangs. Surely her feet were killing her by the end of the night?

  3. I agree...white dress. I did love the Thom Browne coat that she wore during the parade though! Gorgeous with the J.Crew belt.

  4. I liked the white better too. But having seen the red one "in person" at the Inaugural ball last night - I think it was really pretty too! Agree about the bangs - but hey it could have been worse - you've all seen pix of Mamie Eisenhower, right? ;)

  5. I'm going to be the outlier and say that I like the red one on her. I like the white dress better, but I think the red one is more flattering for her. The white one made her waist look thick, and I think the red one gives her some definition.

  6. I really just want to talk about the coats that she and the girls wore that day. I love all of them.
