For a woman who looks like shaq, the dress is ok. how can any woman with huge feet and so tall be classified as gorgeous! i guess tastes are changing for the worse. that idiot obama is ruining our country with his policies and everyone is looking at what dress she is wearing? give me a break! however, you can't talk to his supporters because they don't understand economics or much of anything else but if you ask them they know everything!

Omarosa ll - not gorgeous - or “breathtaking” she can put a 100 thousand dollar dress on - too bad she's a fucking nut job liberal married to Mr. No Nuts - maybe now she's proud of her country! FUCK HER

She is dressed appropriately. Its very pretty. She should get no more attention for this than any other first lady did. She's not Wonderwoman, you know. She's just a middle aged woman who has a team of stylists telling her what to wear. There's nothing magical about her or this situation. Glad you liked it so much though.

She's a beautiful woman but sincerely needs to work on her posture. It appears that she is afraid she will be taller than the president. Work it girl, it doesn't matter. Don't hunch it makes you look old!

People please how can anybody call this woman beautiful? Are you all having a collective orgasm?…Michelle is ugly, her face looks like an orangutan and her fashion style is totally pase.- Don't let your unconditional love for the new Messahia fuck up your brains.- He is common and she is plain ugly….NEXT!

They BOTH look stunning! A small piece of advice: Michelle, stand tall, shoulders back…no one with a grain's worth of sense is going to expect the mother of two children to expect that Michelle is going to look like a 17-year-old anonorexic

HAHA! People come on fucking perez hilton which is a gossip site and write dissertations about the president and his economic plans and how he's ruining the country. Get the fuck outta here with that and take that shit to cnn.com or foxnews.com. No one cares about that crap on here. We're talking about fuckin Michelle Obama's dress.

Ho hum. I don't think she's anything special. The comparison to Jackie-O's style are LAUGHABLE. Now that woman had true class.

Her posture is atrocious and she wears clothes that simply do not suit her body shape. Her hips look massive in this pic.

maybe if she lost the necklace it would help her stand up straighter, a smile wouldn't hurt either, but i've seen her smile so i don't know if she can do that…

I think she does the best she can with what she has, and looks really good most of the time. However, I have a problem with her eyebrows. The way they are arched makes her appear angry. They arch the same way Cruella DeVil's eyebrows arch. Surely someone can fix this?

She should straighten up her back, this bad posture kiills the dress.
liljinx1000 says – reply to this

132

She's fat and dumpy. And her boobs are down to her waist. Not a good look.

That's the last dress she should be wearing with her pear-shaped body. She needs something on top to balance her huge hips, not bare shoulders.

Her waist is small, she should focus on that. And wear a freaking bra.

She's no Jackie O.

Re: Miss USA – Oh, thank you! Your comment made me laugh harder than I have in a long while, and it is so true! Perez Hilton's website is the last place to have an in depth, political debate. More important things to discuss - like Nicole Ritchie's second child that is on the way!

To all of you who say she is ugly or that her hips are too big, let's see YOU post a picture of yourself on the Internet and see what people say about you! I'm sure you're just perfect! With the diet issues of younger and younger females in today's society, we shouldn't focus on something that is natural, like womanly hips as a negative! That's not an area where you can "lose weight". I think she looks great just the way she is! I'd rather see a woman with hips, rather than a female with no hips, like a man - that's more tranny looking to me!

Re: Jodman – #145 Actually, I don't think she's ugly. I do think she has big hips though, here's why:

In order to accentuate any woman's waist, she must be in exact proportion in the shoulder and hip ratio. Hence, having more of an 'hour glass' shape. Otherwise, this picture gives her the look of the 'A' letter in the alphabet. The only way to really achieve the hour glass look is to spend time in the gym by weightlifting the upper body; and, then with added cardio will give her more bottom-half symmetry to the top-half. This would help with her posture, too. When you are in the public's eye as they are, women will ALWAYS get positive or negative feedback. My point is to clarify the 'hips' on a woman's body from the eye's of the public.

To all of the haters:

I am so confident that none of you can do the job that he has planned to do, nor can any of you look this good. She is woman aged by experience and she looks fabolous. I am so certain that she looks better than you teen, 20-somethings and 30-somethings. You cannot see Michelle Obama. Besides, she doesn't care what you think of her. She has a husband that adores her, children that admire her, and friends and family that respect and love her. She could give a rat's a** what you losers think. Just pray that you look that good in two years, because I'm sure you aren't up to her caliber now.

First off, she can't be an icon after a month as First Lady. Second, she needs to stand up straight and put those shoulders back. Third, she needs to get to Jazzercise to work off those hips!

sorry: ugly. i think she's ok, but the necklace is way to much, and the dress exposes more than it covers her legs. she should also work on her posture. after all: a typical american "oohh soo beautiful". you still have no sense of style.

Re: jackiem –

Well if you're worried about people losing their jobs and the rest of that shit, go to goddam foxnews and bitch about that shit. Better yet, go to whitehouse.gov and shoot President Obama an email. This is a gossip site where we talk about celebrities. If I want to complain about the economy, I'd go to a site that encourages that. And people give a damn about her dress because we're on perez hilton's site..that's what people do.
