I saw the dress on the news and I thought it was beautiful....it just wasn't photogenic in the still shots.

I thought she looked lovely in both outfits.

michelle would look great wearing a flour sack. i agree with everyone who said the dress didn't photograph well. it looked okay on the tube, but i'm not a fan of the one shoulder bare look. i think she could have found a much better dress. she has the body to wear anything. i like her in colors too.

Between Wilma Flintstone, Nancy Reagan, and Michelle Obama, the one shoulder white dress has been done to death.

I agree with Kady...Michelle can wear anything and look good. I know it sounds superficial but I am proud we have a First Lady who looks so beautiful! And you do know she will wear nothing but American designers don't you?

I was surprised that she didn't wear a dress by a designer from her hometown. I got the impression that was pretty standard for inaugurations. I wasn't a fan of the dress she wore for the balls. She is a very good looking lady, and I don't think the dress did her the justice she deserved.

I wasn't wild about either outfit, but liked the yellow better. Mostly I agree with others that she looked good but she could look just knockout gorgeous with the perfect outfits. Loved Malia and Sasha's J. Crew outfits. Malia is a wonderful combination of mom and dad in looks, really something else, IMO.

Oh and I have to add after seeing it but my favorite item lately was Aretha's hat! I couldn't begin to carry it off, but she sure did.

Aretha's hat reminded me of this book I have:

Loved the hat too, so did my husband. I sort of wished we all wore hats again...what fun.

I also wish hats were worn daily like in the 50s.

I loved that hat on her too! (Much better than her singing of the anthem.) Yeah, I'm a hat fan too, I think they can be so classy.

In the 80's I once bought a grey fedora right off the head of some old guy at a garage sale. (It wasn't for sale, but I REALLY liked it, so he sold it to me. LOL) And I wore it everywhere that autumn. I got so many compliments, it's was unreal. It was about the only time, I ever wore a hat on an ongoing basis, other than for winter.

Mame, she sang 'America' (My country tis of thee). She's been quoted as saying she just couldn't sing in that bitterly cold weather. Also, I saw on ABC news last night that the musical quartet did play, but along with a recording that the audience heard. It was so cold they couldn't keep the instruments in tune.

Yeah, OG, well now that's understandable. I was surprised that it was so awful. She's usually such an amazing powerhouse. At least I liked her hat.

It was said the people in proximity to the musicians heard the real mccoy, but it wasn't the best.
