Say what???

Fashion peeps simply cannot stop talking about Michelle Obama's style, and Simon Doonan is the latest to offer up his two cents.

The Barneys creative ambassador-at-large was recently asked if he thinks FLOTUS is chic. He replied:

"She dresses appropriately. I don't think of her as being chic. As a public servant you can never appear to be chic. You need to look kind."

Though he certainly has a point about dressing appropriately as a politician, we just can't believe he doesn't think MObama is chic. She may not be a fashionista/clotheshorse like Sarah Jessica Parker or Anna Dello Russo (that would be WILD!), but she is always stylin'.

If anything we'd say she's very chic, but in an understated way.

Ch-ch-check out some of the first lady's chicest looks in the gallery (below)!

Do U agree with what Simon says???

Monique Lhuillier must really feel like the First Lady of fashion tonight!

Taking a break from Jason Wu and Michael Kors, FLOTUS Michelle Obama decided to show herself off in one of Monique's sheer beaded creations for the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The black fitted, draped chiffon gown features a high neckline in delicate Chantilly lace. An intricate design of jet black stones is featured around her neckline and shoulders, making her shine as the goddess she is!

Ch-ch-check her out as she posed with Conan O'Brien (above)!

It's not our favorite MOBAMA look, but hey… when there are so many good ones, that's not the worst thing in the world.

So five first ladies went to a library…

Michelle Obama joined four former first ladies — Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Bush, and Rosalynn Carter — at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Center opening ceremony in Dallas on Thursday.

We don't know what they talked about. We assume they all complimented each other on something, or remarked about what a pleasant day it was.

And we're sure some of the other ladies felt a little miffed that FLOTUS looked better than them in her pale indigo dress and matching coat, multi-strand pearl necklace, and gray pumps.

But what can you do???

MObama is a style icon and very few can even hope to compete with her.

It's not like the other ladies looked bad — they were dressed very appropriately — but, really, it was a losing battle.

This is Jackie Kennedy status!

Michelle Obama oozed fabulosity from every pore as she paid a visit to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis on Wednesday.

FLOTUS looked spectacularly elegant in a belted red plisse Michael Kors dress and red kitten-heeled pumps.

Now THIS is how you match your shoes to your dress without looking ridiculous!

And we love how MObama can wear a double-stranded pearl necklace and pearl earrings and make it look so freaking chic.

We usually associate pearls with old ladies!

Nicely done, Miz O!

Bangs are always the best when you first get them.

And then, like friends who've worn out their welcome, they can get so annoying that you begin to consider drastic measures.

Michelle Obama has had her famous bangs for almost three months now, and it seems she's kind of over them.

Check out the clip (above) and hear what FLOTUS has to say about her much talked-about hairstyle!

And if the bangs aren't doing it anymore, may we suggest a color change?

It could be AH-MAZING! We're getting giddy just thinking about it!

If Kodak wasn't bankrupt and nearly obsolete, we'd call this a Kodak moment!

The First Family were all dressed to impress as they attended Easter services at St. John’s Episcopal Church on Sunday in Washington, D.C.

Michelle Obama was the epitome of understated elegance in a pale gray, rose-print Prabal Gurung dress with matching coat and silver kitten-heeled pumps.

Adore! Beautiful choice!

Sasha and Malia Obama followed their mother's stylish example and wore simple yet pretty shifts with cardigans and flats.

And wasn't Barack Obama so handsome in his gray suit that subtly matched the First Lady's outfit?!

Gosh, could they BE any more perfect?

We don't think so. They've reached the zenith of perfection.

Well this is one way to sound bitter!

Oscar de la Renta’s fairytale designs have been loved by nearly every FLOTUS in his designing lifetime, but that's not the case with Michelle Obama.

In case you forgot, the designer famously bashed the First Lady a few years ago, and lets just say he still isn't her biggest fan.

During a Mexico City fashion gala last week, the 80 year old said dressing Barack Obama's wife is a low priority, saying:
