Dedrick Muhammad: Are Auto Lenders Gouging Minorities?
From her glammed up gowns, to cheap chic wear, to the way she reworks the same pieces in her closet, Mrs. Obama has influenced style one garment at a time. Join Black Voices as we revisit the Commander in Chic's most influential looks.
Michelle Obama's Influential Style
After her appearance on The View, the world took notice of the power of Michelle's fashion choices. Her White House-Black Market dress sent shoppers in a frenzy and sold out immediately.

It isn't all about the mighty stiletto. At 5'10", Mrs. Obama doesn't need a leg lengthening heel. She has the power to make the kitten heel in vogue.

Michelle's signature look, the belted cardigan, taught women everywhere that cardigans don't have to be boring and a belt is your greatest accessory.

Mrs. Obama put little known designers like Jason Wu, Maria Pinto and Isabel Toledo on the mainstream map by embracing their garments. Her silk chiffon Wu gown on Inauguration night was the first of many glamorous moments.
Michelle Obama's Influential Style
The First Lady could easily afford the best fashion the world has to offer, but she frequently wears outfits the average woman can afford from the mall. Her canary yellow J. Crew ensemble proved fashion knows no price.
Michelle Obama's Influential Style
A day in the garden is no reason to dress frumpy. The First Lady is the epitome of casual chic with a coral hued outfit and Pumas.

No stuffy pants suits or muted colors here. The First Lady frequently wears vibrant tones, patterns and embraces sleeveless and halter style dresses to show off her famously sculpted arms.

Michelle Obama is stunning and it's great to see that she wears the same clothes that most ladies can afford ;}
PS: I love the fact that she believes in wearing her outfits more than once-which shows her Parsimonious side :}

I think that America has a beautiful, fine , fashionably dressed, educated,thrifty,and impressionable black woman as her 1st Lady. But I can't say that I KNOW the woman behind the beauty, curves,fashion,education,thriftiness , impressionably blackness. I wish I did ... but keeping in subject to the comments , She IS a beauty to "LOOK AT" .

Disciple-cut it out...as many interviews she has given and you know nothing about her!? Hogwash!!
I know from her apperance on the Paula Dean show that although she leads a very healthy lifestyle she really enjoys to eat. She absolutely thrilled her hostess who fried some seafood, veggies and chicken into bite size pieces that the First Lady put away with gusto.
I also know that she cares so much about her daughters that she brought her mother to the White House to help care for them while she and the President attended to the numerous duties.
I know as well as you that she's on the mission to not just preach to the kids "Eat right and do your homework" She's actually showing them how to create their own gardens! She also shows the result of working hard and getting an excellent education, sharing stories of how her former classmates teased and gave her a hard time for being so studious, and the things she was able to achieve in life because she would let them slow her down.
Isn't she wonderful!?

impressionably blackness isn't a valid English phrase. Try practicing with simplier words and concepts, like this one:
A zoo got an african lion. The white house got a lying african.

Joe, I didn't believe that Michelle started out sporting nice hair and nice hair-dos or being a beauty, a fashionist etc.BUT once Obama made prez it appears that her "style" changed. WE THE PEOPLE have to remember that Michelle is STILL "Michelle", the "WIFE OF BARACK", her views as to her position as 1st lady has NOT changed,she verbalizes 'quite well her take on the position.BUT it 'appears' that since she has become 1st Lady ,even if she does not like or appreciate the position she "appears " to appreciate it's rewards ie, the money,travel,clothes,styles,cosmetics ( yep, seems like that "buck teeth problem got fixed), afterall 'we can't have our 1st lady with buck teeth, out of fashion, broke,not in the public's eye. I read that she was Harvard educated, ( I am "assuming" she completed her studies and got her degree(s), so I take it that the girl would have done aiight for herself, BUT we can't focus on HER and take our eyes off of HIM.
