The First Lady
Whatever else she may be, Michelle Obama is rapidly becoming a style icon of enormous magnitude. Her chic, vintage inspired combinations flatter her figure while maintaining modesty and sophistication.
She truly has a beautiful sense of style.
One of her excellent staples is wide belts, nipping in the waist at the smallest part of the ribs.
Do:
-Wear the wide belted over a long cardigan (see the peach combo)
-Wear Contrasting and monochomatic belts. The matching belt makes a softer statement, so vary it depending on the desired look.
-Wide and skinny belts. If you havn’t tried a wide belt- do it now.

You, know I’m surprised at how quietly impressive she is to me. Whatever her husband may be, I have been pleasantly surprised by her grace, sophistication and dedication as a wife and mother.
The above outfits are just what you have said. Sadly however its not always the case. Some outfits have just gone down to far.
Yea, some have- but overall she’s just elegant.
Lovely looks.
I might not agree with her politcally, but I love Mrs. Obama’s style! She truly has the classy look of Audrey Hepburn in a way
I don’t know much about the first lady, haven’t really been to into the Obama family, but she appears to be a beautiful and sophisticated lady. Kudos to her sense of style!

P.S. I simply love the peach outfit!
I really don’t like her sense of style to be honest.
Sorry, but I don’t like her style either! Those much-too-vivid colors don’t always flatter her skin-tone- that pink dress in the above pic, for instance. And I don’t like those belts, especially the black ones, which sometimes seem to do nothing but unflatteringly cut her figure in two. I can’t explain why, but it’s almost painful to me to hear she’s compared to Audrey Hepburn… She’s a remarkable person, I agree, but I just don’t see her as a style icon at all.
well, it doesn’t work for everyone. But I sure love how she wears dresses so much!
I was wondering whether you’d make an article about her style!

^ I made a few fashion icons featuring Mrs. Obama. I disagree with her politically in most ways, but she exudes a certain kind of confidence and class.
I agree with lissie, I do not like her sense of style at all
…Her sense of style is compared to Audrey Hepburn? AHHH…
that is SO not right…

I think the belts would work on a person with a long torso. The belts seem to shorten the torso. (i.e. look at the peach dress…or maybe it was just because she wore the belt like wayyyy high..hmmm)
I like Mrs. Obama’s style a great deal! After looking at mostly pastel suits in the White House (with red and blue being the only exceptions), it’s a breath of fresh air to see our First Lady wear beautifully bright colors!
I agree with Lissie. No offense to anyone that likes her style. Like C-T said, it doesn’t work for everyone!
I love, love, LOVE the far-right, coral colored dress.
