The blue dress I'd blah and matronly. It should go deeply in the closet and get out in 15 years. And I do not like this habit not to wear a coat outside. It is raining ☔
Her posture is very poor in all of the pictures. the waist line seems above the natural waist. The First Lady looked good, fit well and good color for her.
I agree about the waist line she does that a lot and it looks strange. I don't know if it's to hide her lack of the thing we can't mention. The elephant in the room. But it's a nothing dress.
I liked Kate's dress but it's nothing special or to go crazy about. Its safe, nice colors and a nice length. I think she looked much nicer the Michelle Obama. What I wished for with this dress was a more fun heels, these are too old looking for her.
I thought the blue chiffon dress was perfect hostess dress for entertaining in your own home, elegant by not overly accessorized. Flowy skirt is easier sitting on soft seating. I thought she looked very comfortable in her home
If it is raining and not cold you don't need a coat, also she was just outsider her home so no need for a coat. I think she looked fine , why everything has to be amazing is beyond me she is dressing for her role.
