Michelle Obama's Gladiator Dress: Korean Variation


The mischievous Drudge has a photo of Obama and Michelle at the state dinner for South Korea's President and his wife on his site today, which he headlines "Skin is in!" referring, of course, to Michelle's (yet again) bare arms. It looks like Michelle has lost some weight (is she following the dietary program from her "Let's Move" project on childhood obesity?). The dress she's wearing looks like a recycled version of the "gladiator" dress she wore at the May 19, 2010 state dinner for Mexico's president, showing (off) her then Amazon muscles. The 2010 gown was designed by Peter Soronen. This one also looks like one of his creations, but I cannot find any reference to it online. Her muscles are subdued, her face is more gaunt, and she seems generally thinner.
