I'm totally digging this. Why? Because she dared to be different, knowing very well her chances of being ripped were high. I also like that she did not make an elaborate dress out of it.

I agree the design of the dress itself is fine and she is an undeniably beautiful woman. I just think the cloth itself is borderline tacky anyway and I don't know how anybody can feel correct with Mr. Obama plastered across their midsection on a red carpet!

Cloth is hideous and I think 'statement' outfits of this sort are horrible particularly on the red carpet. But, yeah, I guess the design made the best of a bad situ

Could have chosen a nicer african cloth for sure, but hey, she seems to love it. About time they started buying from us.

I would have worn the dress shopping but I think its actually cool that she wore it on the red carpet. I am decoding it to mean that she is not living by "red carpet rules". She is also being very political and showing support of Obama at a time of difficulty re health care, etc

@ Nana - Ok, I understand that Obama particularly needs support at the moment, don't get me wrong. But I just find it distasteful/annoying that this is what our cloths are being used for-a statement. Why can a beautiful cloth not baring the face of Obama be worn on the red carpet just because it's beautiful?

Obama would not have approve this dress - not even Michelle Obama would wear it. This actress thinks the world is still excited over Obama - we are awake!

She looked horrible.

I have to say that aside from the 'Obama face' design, I really don't like the cloth. However, I congratulate her in daring to make a political statement by wearing a dress with his face on it.
