Even when she gets it wrong, she does it so much better than anyone else. Let's start with what we like: the silhouette. She's long and lean and broad-shouldered and this outfit does everything to accentuate that. The color. Quite often, she goes for frosty whites or metallics to play off her natural paleness, but it's nice to see her in such a rich tone. This concludes the "what she got right" portion of our program.

Here's what she got wrong: The color. While we love it, we don't love so much of it. We're gonna get mighty pissed off if Michelle Obama starts a trend where every piece of an outfit is the exact same color. We can't stand that. Next, the layering. She looks so good when she goes sleek. She looks like she's wearing at least one piece too many above her waist. It looks a tad sloppy. The hair and makeup. We usually applaud her minimalist approach to both, but it's so minimal here it looks to be nonexistent. Her face needs a little contouring, otherwise it looks pancake flat. And we are SO not loving the Moe Howard-esque 'do on her.

OUT.
