so what do we think of Michelle Obama's outfit today please?

[usedtoreadbooks]

Since this is history, after all.

Well, not sure - looks a tad like curtain material.

Definately not sure about Joe Biden's wife's outfit....blood red frock coat and black knee high boots It just doesn't shout dignified to me!

I think she tried to put too many layers beneath the coat (looks like she had a cardigan on beneath). But it's not a great colour on her.

I don't like it and don't think the gloves match the coat.

I quite liked Aretha Franklin's hat

I can see, I can't see.... it's all white, I see no link!

Well I quite liked it. But it was very 'wife of the president'

She looked slightly pregnant to me But I guess it is below freezing, how difficult it must be to look glam and warm at the same time. Aretha's hat, now that was cool.

I thought Mrs Bush looked very chic, all in drapey grey.

Don't like it, the colour is neither here no there imo and surely if it's below freezing, put a scarf and hat on?!

maryann that hat was fab

i think the key to outfits was: something you can wear thermals under

Horrible. Looks like it was Camilla's.

She has a nice figure and is attractive.. she could have looked fab.

Twas bit meh

As previously said, looks like curtain material. Shame as she could have looked great.

yes, the fuckers have flown off!!!!!!!!

Bye, we won't miss you

I think she may well have had a bullet proof vest under there (he certainly will have done and she was stood next to him while he took the oath). So had to wear something that allowed for some layers (not to mention the fact that it's blimmin freezing in Washington at the moment!).

Think she looked very glam for the occasion!

Oh I'd not thought of the bullet-proof jacket theory! That would explain the odd shape and layer thing going on.

Another vote here for Aretha's hat - t'was a scene stealer

She always look fab, even her crap looks good IMVHFO. I'd hate to have her as a friend

Couldn't say - I was too busy ogling listening to Obama

link please? I am too lazy

Here Coat/cardi/dress etc. She's got too much on.

I don't really like it. She always looks lovely but I don't like the shiny gold

look at the marines they look like twins

sorry that has nothing to do with her outfit.
I think she dresses well there are some other out-fits on that website that are much better.

The shape wasn't great today. Think she would have looked good in a deep red.

Too old for her and a bit queen mumsy As others have said she has all the ingredients to look fab so who picked that?

I'd go with the bullet proof jacket definitely, she looks very 'bulky' and that's not a word i'd have used about her before.

The men have it easy!
