Michelle Obama's European style

Mrs. Obama first arrived to meet Queen Elizabeth II and other British royal family members at Buckingham Palace on May 24, 2011, in a full-skirted, turquoise Barbra Tfank dress paired with a pink bolero and silver slingback pumps. Along with her choice to not wear a hat, some fashion critics thought this look was a miss, especially in comparison to the tan Reiss dress worn by Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, which sold out online almost immediately afterwards and crashed the British high-street chain's website.
