being referred to as "nude". (AP/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
Michelle Obama is known for being the First Lady of Fashion so why's the wife of President Barack Obama getting such flack for her blue number at Wednesday's State Dinner?
According to the USA Today, Michelle Obama "got sexy" for the occasion - A dinner with Mexican president Felipe Calderon
"Michelle Obama has gotten flack for showing off her toned arms [in the past], but for last night's state dinner, she certainly showed off a little bit more," writes the paper. "Her one-shoulder, cleavage-baring Peter Soronen gown proves that she's no stuffy First Lady."
Other media outlets described the gown as "Sex in The City" (Drudge Report) and show host Glenn Beck said the outfit was inappropriate since Michelle Obama's state dinner dress "was showing her breast".
But other folks say the dress was a stunner and was "similar to the one Mrs. Obama wore to her husband's inaugural balls," said by the Huffington Post. The New York Times called Obama's dress "full-on glamour" while also mentioning President Obama's distraction by the blue number - In a good way.
"Meanwhile," writes The Times. "In photographs, the President has the gruff forbearance of a high school senior trying to look cool in front of his hot date." See more photos of the dress in the slideshow below.

The first Lady is hot!
The First Lady is sexy and not the usual stuffy old lady. Change I can believe in.
She looked beautiful.
She looks classy and gorgeous. There is nothing wrong with showing off your ARMS!
She is hot and suits me. what more..
obama sure des have a pretty wife and pretty girls go obama
The dress is ok - except it doesn't fit properly on the sleeveless side at the armpit and bust. Too much rollover in that area. The dress does not flatter her bust at all, It makes her look very flat chested. Her hair and makeup were very nice and she is an attrctive lady. I think a more fitted bodice would have been a better choice to accent her features - the color and skirt were very beautiful.
