Jill Biden might be married to an ice cream snarfing, ridiculous man-child, but the woman, in her rare public appearances as Second Lady, is second to none in her attire. She is always appropriately dressed, never wears Halloween costumes other than October 31st, and, to our knowledge, doesn’t actively try to make herself look enciente with bastions of bulbous belts.
For the record, she also doesn’t pal around with grown-ass women who think they’re Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz…whose bright red shoes seem inappropriate for an appearance at Arlington National Cemetery.
Honestly, we’ve said this before but will say it again, one of the biggest breaks Mrs. Utopia caught in 2008 is when Mr. Blackwell died. That man could have filled one of his Worst Ever lists with things the current First Lady has worn this week, alone.
Not even in the heart of the Klingon Empire itself would today’s getup be appropriate. That hair. That belt. Those boots. That coat. bachHa’!
What’s really sad to us is that this is a woman who could look very pretty if she only had better people dressing her. People who don’t hate her.
For an appearance at Arlington on Veterans’ Day, appropriate attire would have been a long black coat, black shoes, her hair nicely combed, with perhaps a red, white, and blue scarf of some kind to add some patriotic color.
Somber events and funerals are not the time for “Lookit Me!”, no matter how much Mrs. Utopia wants them to be. This isn’t quite as bad as the Sophie Theallet giant bow dress she wore to get extra attention at Ted Kennedy’s funeral this summer, but it’s up there.
At least she didn’t wear her favorite dress again, though:
********
UPDATE: We’re surprised to see this bit on AOL today, in the Style section, where the author, clearly an Obot, also criticizes Mrs. Utopia for that Klingon death belt…there’s a vague reference to the tourquoise being out of place at a Veterans’ Day event, but the author quickly points out that she, herself, loves tourquoise…even if nobody else around you for miles is wearing bright colors.
The author cannot, however, explain or excuse away that hideous belt. Try as she wants to.


November 11, 2009 at 11:09 pm
That was the First Lady?
I thought it was a smurf!
November 12, 2009 at 8:28 am
Did not know there was a Godzilla Smurf character. Thanks for that, Tammy.
November 12, 2009 at 12:25 pm
lolol
November 11, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Well, if she’s hoping to stand out, mission accomplished.
November 12, 2009 at 5:13 pm
I am LMAO because when I caught the news last night and saw that ridiculous get-up, I was hoping my boyzz would snark on that ridiculously inapproprate get-up.
Don’t you all recognize it? That is the exploding tire belt she wore so famously in London, I believe.
And why does this fashion misfit not grasp the concept that she is the FLOTUS and is supposed to be showing respect for the loss of life, which would be best served by wearing black or at least gray, or some other neutral for God’s sake.
This woman is an attention-seeking Amazon. She can’t stand it that Barry finally has a job bigger than hers.
It is stunning.
November 12, 2009 at 7:58 pm
The press keeps telling everyone, including MO, she’s a fashion icon. They are partially to blame just like they are for O winning last NOv.
November 11, 2009 at 11:13 pm
The belts have been deemed “boob belts”.
This one has a guerrilla look to it.
The whole outfit: CRINGE!
November 11, 2009 at 11:47 pm
I know…boob belts. I just don’t get it. Her torso is shorter than her boots.
November 12, 2009 at 9:01 am
If the purpose of a “boob belt” is to prop ‘em back up where they belong, then I’m buying one in every color!
November 12, 2009 at 11:09 am
I´m with you, California Granny!
November 12, 2009 at 11:42 am
The only possible sensible answer is that she has back problems and the belt is really a back brace. I wish if so that she would wear it under her clothes.
November 13, 2009 at 9:32 pm
The belt is actually the type that the “movers” wear when they carry large items to protect their backs. You can get them from Home Depot.
In this case, the torquiose carpet pad and the recycled mover’s belt kind of hide the first big booty.
November 11, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Is she wearing combat boots?
Oh, and does she actually PAY someone to make her look like this?
November 11, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Early this year (in Parade -Sunday paper insert) MO said something along the line of, “I have excellent taste and do not need a stylist to choose my outfits”.
So I think these “creations” are all on her.
November 11, 2009 at 11:52 pm
She thinks she has excellent taste? Wow, oh wow.
The outfits I have seen shows that she has taste in her boots. She could learn a strong lesson from Mrs Biden, Barbara and Laura Bush, Nancy Reagan, and I do highly recommend the clothing worn by the late Jackie Kennedy Onnasis (that is the lady who knew how to dress appropriately and knew the correct demeanor.)
November 12, 2009 at 10:53 am
hahahahhaha, oh man.
I seriously think she should be nominated for What Not to Wear. Those belts! And did you see the weird thing she wore to Westminster Abby? It was this strange filmy skirt with horizontal (horizontal!) applique stripe-things. Horizontal stripes across your widest part is just.so.basically.wrong.
November 12, 2009 at 10:54 am
Uh, that ought to be “Abbey.” There’s always a typo somewhere….
November 11, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Why, oh why is she wearing a belt on the outside of her overcoat? Not only is it ugly (which one could attribute to differing tastes), but it doesn’t. make. sense.
And, how many muppets had to die for the aforementioned overcoat? Bright turquoise at a Veteran’s Day service? Black, navy, gray… any subdued color would have been more appropriate.
Her worst crime is not having bad taste, it’s her complete lack of dignity and decorum.
November 13, 2009 at 1:11 pm
EXACTLY! Her outfit and attitude screams I DON’T GIVE A SH*T !
November 11, 2009 at 11:20 pm
let me get this straight… she’s wearing a HUGE tire belt ON TOP of a coat?!???!??!
November 12, 2009 at 10:51 am
No, you have that wrong. She’s wearing a HUGE tire belt on TOP of her bathrobe.
November 12, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Too funny… It does look like an inner tube… Isn’t it a bit cold in DC for tubing?
November 11, 2009 at 11:20 pm
Oh, and why would Jill want to take her shopping? Me-shelle’s disastrous fashion decisions always make Jill the prettiest woman in the room.
November 11, 2009 at 11:21 pm
OMG! WTF? Will she ever STOP with those muthaphuckin’ belts? Who told her, “Yeah, girrrrl, you look good”! ?
Seriously, she is an embarrassment.
November 11, 2009 at 11:29 pm
MO: Honey, how does this look?
BO (preening in mirror): Uhhh,… you look fine…
November 12, 2009 at 9:08 am
There are no mirrors in the WH
November 12, 2009 at 6:51 am
j.b.Megadittoes!
Hilariously true!
What is it with this woman and butt-ugly belts that only make her huge ass look even more giganormous and cut her awful outfit/body in 2 hideous chunks?!
Lose the belts, girl–seriously!
And wear jewel tones.
November 12, 2009 at 9:10 am
…and stop looking like a sullen brat. You’re the First Lady, stand up straight and act like one. Somebody needs to give Mrs. Obama lessons in how to carry herself with style and grace. She doesn’t walk, she lumbers like a linebacker. In cleats and full pads.
November 11, 2009 at 11:25 pm
I love my mom, but I’m a little hurt that she sold the bathrobe I gave her, to Michelle. Seriously, who said, “Wear the belt, it looks fabulous”?
November 11, 2009 at 11:29 pm
My 13 year old son brought to my attention that the Bush ladies each had one personal assistant, Hillary had three and Michelle has 22 assistants. Who do you think is paying for all 22? Ah, I think that would be us. I can’t say I know how Hillary dealt with this, but the Bush’s paid for their own assistants.
November 12, 2009 at 8:30 am
Latest count is 26 assistants.
I read the list, surprisingly there was noone assigned to spackle duty, industrial cinching activity, or fright wig ironing.
November 11, 2009 at 11:32 pm
MO is just begging for some SNL attention!
November 12, 2009 at 9:09 am
That’s a good one! Lok what they did with Palin’s red jacket.
November 11, 2009 at 11:40 pm
I adore bold clothes and wear a ton of water blue shades(aqua, peacock, turquoise) but I’m not the FLOTUS. Makes me wonder what she wore to Fort Hood when she was supposed to be comforting the soldiers… And those boob belts – what are those about? Maybe she’s sagging and they provide additional support? (If so, I wish she’d check with a discreet foundation shop so she can wear something flattering.)
November 11, 2009 at 11:54 pm
She has a very large tummy. It is probably the only spot where the belt will fit.
November 11, 2009 at 11:57 pm
She actually managed to wear an appropriate dress to Ft. Hood. It was black, below the knee and had sleeves.
Her hair looked horrible, but we have to be happy with baby steps…
http://michellesmirror.blogspot.com/2009/11/fort-hood-memorial-its-not-about-us-or.html
November 12, 2009 at 12:07 am
Why can’t someone who actually likes her and wants her to look pretty help her comb her hair? She could look so pretty if she was styled correctly.
See: Vanessa Williams as Wilhemina Slater on Ugly Betty.
November 12, 2009 at 11:28 am
Maybe it’s because nobody actually likes her? Perhaps, with professional help, including makeup tips, she’d look a little less like James Brown in drag.
November 12, 2009 at 6:53 am
Believe it or not, she has a full-time hairdresser on that large staff as well.
No excuse for “bad hair” days, and yet…
November 12, 2009 at 11:49 am
I thought she looked very nice at Ft. Hood.
November 13, 2009 at 9:36 pm
sleeveless dark dress without the mover’s belt that could have hidden her protruding belly. yeiks!
November 11, 2009 at 11:47 pm
OMG she looks like a giant, fluffy blue tampon. Well….. go with the flow.
November 12, 2009 at 8:31 am
HAH!
Nicely done, sir.
November 11, 2009 at 11:50 pm
She looks positively ghastly. And I said that with a British accent. And I’m from the midwest.
November 11, 2009 at 11:55 pm
I hadn’t noticed Michele because I was so upset by BO. The body language and the smirk on his ugly face reveal his contempt for the military. He shows his contempt for this country, its traditions, and values at every ceremony he attends.
November 12, 2009 at 8:08 pm
I’m with you on that. I thought I was the only one who saw that nasty smirk. I was half expecting him to start laughing. I think someday he will burst under the pressure and laugh or do something so outrageous that all the world will see what a psychological problem he has.
November 15, 2009 at 5:49 pm
does bowing to the Saudi prince qualify?
November 12, 2009 at 12:29 am
MO looks pregnant to me. It would not surprise me at all if PrezBo and MO decide to have a baby while in office…it would create another round of magazine covers and attention which is what they love. The Obama worshipers will be falling all over themselves to see the new baby and report on everything the baby does just like they do with the first family now. PrezBo and MO would also do it to try to increase his ever-decreasing poll numbers.
November 12, 2009 at 1:14 am
Isn’t she a little old for baby-birthin’?
I wouldn’t put it past them to give it a whirl, though… they’ll do anything to keep their public adoration factor high.
November 12, 2009 at 10:15 am
You’re only past baby-birthin’ age if you’ve gone through menopause…hell, there are 70+ year old women out there having babies these days. Knowing these two and how wonderful they think they are in their own minds, they’ve probably had embryos frozen that can implanted at a later date or that can implanted in someone of their choosing so they can live in perpetuity, lol. Okay, I could go one like this all day about these two narcissists…I must get back to work.
November 12, 2009 at 2:15 pm
A wag commented on another forum that her becoming preggers could be counted as one thing Obama accomplished while he was in office.
November 12, 2009 at 8:05 am
They would have one just so it could get under the table, you know like little JFK Jr. I can’t stop laughing its so funny.
November 12, 2009 at 3:19 am

damn ugly outfit, neither hillary nor laura bush would have looked like that and it’s totally inappropriate for the occasion.
November 12, 2009 at 6:45 am
MEchelle dresses the way her husband leads. Shitty.
November 12, 2009 at 6:54 am
How I wish Condi Rice would give her tips on dress and especially hair.
Dr. Condi always looked fabulous, groomed and classy!
November 12, 2009 at 12:23 pm
She did and does!

Who wears an updo to a cemetery? I may be a simple country girl but I know that an updo is for formal events, although Sarah can rock one anytime.
November 12, 2009 at 9:56 am
Another Star Trek reference insinuated into the culture. We will be assimilated!
What in the hell was she thinking? I have the fashion sense of a rock (hey, I’m 44 and I still wear clothes my mom finds at yard sales), and even I know that a Smurfette costume is out of place. For being so smart the Obamas sure are stupid.

November 12, 2009 at 10:55 am
Oh…just laughing so hard here.
May I add a deep navy coat/dress ensemble, with a low heeled pump, would have been appropriate. A subtle scarf (with some kind of Americana or military print–in red, white, blue and possible gold)…OR a possible American flag pin on the coat lapel. ACT LIKE YOU ARE THE FLOTUS!!!
Her hair should have been ‘down’ (for day and the solmenity of the circumstance).
That all said…did Rubbermaid or Goodyear add another shift (one of them ’stimulus’ job packages?) and Mrs. O feels compelled to wear their products? I wish the tires on my Chevy had that depth of tread…
November 12, 2009 at 11:16 am
I’ve done lots of Michelle O “fashion” videos. I might be the only one making them. It takes a one woman to take “down” another and I’ve had a lot of fun doing so.
You can see them all by clicking my name but here’s my latest:
Let’s Go Shopping with First Hypocrite Michelle Obama and
Michelle Obama is to be the first presidential wife to appear on a reality TV series
November 12, 2009 at 11:37 am
Ms. O’s got a hairdresser on staff — we pay.
She’s got protocol people — we pay.
She’s got 26 staff folks — the most of any first lady ever — we pay.
And she wears this?
To our cemetery — boy, have some paid for that one!
Were there no Prada stores open on the way to the event to pick up a serene sober somber frock?
As to the lady in red pumps – maybe it’s her political leanings coming through?
November 12, 2009 at 11:39 am
I had already commented on Michelle’s penchant for looking pregnant somewhere else. But the red shoes you pointed out, yes inappropriate…even more so considering the curled up toes of the old things. Bleh!
November 12, 2009 at 11:44 am
Mrs. Obama has worn many lovely, stylish outfits since her husband’s campaign began. These make her look well-proportioned, fit, and aware of her surroundings. Unfortunately, she has not yet shown consistency in terms of fashion. I envy many of the great dresses and outfits in her closet, but there seem to be almost as many frumpy, tacky, and just plain weird combinations. And the belts are way overdone with little good effect.
I do not support President Obama’s policies or the radical entourage that he has brought to Washington. But I also do not support gratuitous attacks on him and his family. The one salient point here is that Mrs. Obama has yet to come to terms with the fact that the role of First Lady is not to draw attention to herself, but to represent the people at functions such as this. Yes, she has a right to her own style – and she has shown extremely good and interesting taste at times. But there is still such a thing as etiquette and protocol, and this is what was violated by the otherwise lovely turquoise coat.
November 12, 2009 at 4:10 pm
As a military wife, I did breathe a sigh of relief for her stunning, yet appropriately understated Ft.Hood attire, but I lost all hope at the blueberry popsicle suit for Veterans Day ceremonies :(
November 15, 2009 at 5:31 pm
I disagree. I have never seen Michelle wear one single thing that was stylish. The media is all over her “GAP” style clothing because, well, frankly, what do they know? They are drooling over her existence and the fact that THEY got them there!! She has NO TASTE whatever and has shown that every time she is in the the camera’s eye. She is a horse (her arms — PLEASE!!!) and should dress appropriatly. But the media has led her to believe she is awesome no matter what she does so this is the result!!!
November 12, 2009 at 11:55 am
When I first saw the picture, I didn’t even recognize her because she looked like a teenager. And, I don’t mean that in a she-looks-good-b/c-she-looks-young-type-of-way. Her outfit is inappropriate, and her body language is appalling. She looks like her parents dragged her to an event that she doesn’t want to be at so she decided to wear something that would embarrass them. All she’s missing is her iphone so she can sit through the event and text her bffs how annoyed she is.
omg. i h8 my ‘rents. they made me come 2 this. id so rather B making out w/ some1 rite now. u my bff. Meschel
November 12, 2009 at 11:58 am
Her choice of color for her Veterans Day outfit shows her contempt for the solemn ceremony. I am not surprised by her choice in attire as both she and the president have a hatred for American tradition and the American military. Actions speak louder than words.
As far as her choice of clothes overall, she has the fashion sense of a bag lady.
November 12, 2009 at 12:27 pm
It is hard to believe the level of media effort as they try to sell this repulsive woman to the American people as some kind of fashion icon and beauty.
Mrs. Utopia is no more like Mrs. Kennedy than any other poorly hung together, cold as ice, America hating NFL linebacker-look-a-like. If only one outfit were needed to prove the point, today’s photos of the turquoise SS coat, dress, and boots would be enough. The ghastly boots accentuate her bowed legs, the biker belt is beyond belief, and the hairdo and jutting jaw help to call attention to her perpetual smirk and ice cold eyes. The way she represents this country makes me cringe. Example: Multiple photos shot looking up at the dias from the ground at her crossed thunder thighs as she sat next to NY’s mayor, seeing her fling her arm around QE II’s shoulders, seeing her come down the steps of Airforce One in skin tight jeans, and all the other ill fitting and skin tight clothes too numerous to mention. Considering the amount of craft store junk she added to an awful T-shirt, one can only conclude that she stayed up all night with a glue gun so she’d be ready to tour England’s hallowed Westminster Abbey. She doesn’t exhibit a free spirit attitude, she chooses to deliberately embarrass America. And she succeeds: If she’d slapped the Brits in the face, she couldn’t have been more insulting.
Just how is it that she is permitted a staff of 22 people who collectively are costing American taxpayers a million and a half dollars a year? It’s worth noting that every other first lady–all of whom dressed with quiet good taste and knew enough to cross their ankles instead of the ponderous legs this woman shows off–had a staff of just one person.
November 12, 2009 at 12:31 pm
On a second look at that atrocity, she looks like a ‘hood maven’….that outfit, while thoroughly inappropriate DOES NOT FIT HER!!!….Looks as if she salvaged it from a homeless shelter….What a mess!
November 12, 2009 at 12:33 pm
i think she is pregnant.
November 12, 2009 at 12:33 pm
wonder if she realizes that is the laughing stock
November 12, 2009 at 12:37 pm
She always wears belts. She’s trying to emphasize her waist because her hips are wide and she has quite a bit of junk in her trunk. Normally, this is a good tactic. But wearing a huge tire belt on the outside of her coat…. not so much.
November 12, 2009 at 12:40 pm
If her torso wasn’t so short it would probably be a good idea to wear a belt…but the extra wide tire treads on a short torso don’t work; it’s actually accentuating her hips. She was better off sticking with A-line tops and dresses.
November 12, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Her waist is under her ta-ta’s? The belts are way too high. She needs a little more pouffe at the top to offset her pear shape.
Where is this fashionista icon stuff coming from? Even her magazine covers are so airbrushed and photoshopped, maybe she’s starting to believe them?
November 13, 2009 at 10:18 pm
I meant breast implants.
November 13, 2009 at 10:17 pm
I heard in the news that the number of breast transplants are down these days. Must be the economy. Heck! If I had a budget (or not) for 26 assistants, I’d get rid of one of them to get a pair of nice water boobies. That should even out the junk in her trunk, wouldn’t you say?
November 12, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I am quite impressed with your knowledge and use of Klingon. I shall have to go an dust off my Klingon dictionary for a translation. I always thought the movie/NG klingons dressed pretty badly…
November 12, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Michelle Obama has no taste in clothing. She wears what is trendy for the time. She does not dress in classic clothes. I have never seen her in a classic color like navy blue.Jackie Kennedy knew how to dress. Her taste in her clothing and her children’s clothing was perfect.Classic clothes and good taste never go out of style. Trendy clothing does.
November 12, 2009 at 2:02 pm
My theory has been that the WWF belts were used to cover the muffin top bulge that Spanx can cause in the midriff area. The wearing of these belts has become too pathological to be anything other than utilitarian. A must.
She later doffed the coat and put the belt over the teal Maria Pinto sheath dress – the one she used to wear well before she gained weight (that gain began January 20, 2009). It’s my belief that she had no place to put the belt that she knew she had to wear with the dress when she went indoors (she almost never carries a handbag). So she thought: “Black boots, black belt! I’ll put it OVER the coat. How edgy and fashion forward!”
November 12, 2009 at 2:31 pm
She’s dresses like she’s going clubbing in South Chicago on a Sat. night!
November 12, 2009 at 4:54 pm
I never understood the biggie belts until I went to visit my son at college last month. All the coeds are wearing them with opposite styled flimsy dresses and – GASP – cowboy boots. I guess we can be slightly relieved that Mrs. Doc Utopia has not tried the cowboy boots….yet. She dresses just like the dumb dumb college girls (but for the most part they do not have gigantic hind quarters)! Way to be mature and respectful of your husband’s office!
November 12, 2009 at 6:52 pm
My theory: There is a secret Obama hating gay clothing stylist on her staff who tells her she looks “fabulous” in these hideous clothes as a way of undermining Dr. and Mrs. Utopia’s reign of terror
November 12, 2009 at 7:45 pm
I think the belt was a new device to keep the cameltoe in check this time.

Lotsa hysterical comments and many references to Klingon too. And Snark and Boobs comes up with a plausible explanation for how Meeechelle puts together her ensembles:
“I think I’ve come up with an answer for the perplexing “How can 22 attendants not help her dress” question, though. I now believe that it is purposeful and that they are placing bets, in an office pool, on who can make her look the worst. OK, maybe I’m projecting because that is what I would do, but, really, there is no other plausible explanation.”
November 13, 2009 at 10:23 am
NOW I know what they do with stuff that is too good for oil rags, but not quite good enough for a flea market.
November 13, 2009 at 1:08 pm
First of all, not wearing a black or dark-colored coat is 100% completely inappropriate for such an occasion!!!!! Secondly, Michelle looks like she just got out of bed and threw on something to an event her parents made her go to. At least the red shoed woman, kept black as her basic color.
I used to subscribe to Vogue and other fashion mags but ceased subscribing because of their nearly cult-like devotion to the belief that Michelle is the most fashionable woman evah!
I can’t take it anymore!
