Sally Singer Muddles The Facts On Obama’s McQueen Dress

by Verena von Pfetten | 3:10 pm, February 3rd, 2011

Because god forbid anyone miss out on the press frenzy that is (well, at this point, was) Michelle Obama’s State Dinner dress by Alexander McQueen, Sally Singer dropped by Morning Joe today to throw her opinion into the mix. And while we normally think Singer walks on water, not only do we disagree with her opinions, the editor in chief of T: The New York Times Style Magazine didn’t even have her facts straight.

Of the dress, Singer said:

“I actually think the problem with the dress was [that] it didn’t fit her well. It’s not the right dress for her. It was then worn again by Mila Kunis and it should be worn by a diminutive, younger woman… It was the wrong dress for her. I think she’s a beautiful woman… and it didn’t flatter her.”

Emphasis ours. Contrary to what Singer thinks, Mila Kunis did not wear the same dress as Michelle Obama to the SAG awards. While her gown was indeed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, there’s no reason to confuse them for the same dress. And frankly, we’re surprised Singer would make that mistake.

Anyway, we’ve made our thoughts on MObamaMcQueenDressGate (or whatever cutesy internet name people want to give it) quite clear, but here are a few more of Singer’s.

“I think for American designers this was a moment to say something about American style, to say something about America’s trade relationship with China, and to go to an English design house with European backing seems like an odd choice — and a strange choice for her because for so long she’s been so good with making symbolic choices.”

We’re pretty sure Obama never called her choices symbolic — in fact, just last week she told Good Morning America she just wears what she likes.

I thought the dress looked amazing on Mrs. Obama. It reminded me of the colorful, flowing dresses worn by women, young and old, from many cultures around the world.

LOL And the jealous “BECKIE” needs to sit up straight. Didn’t they teach Sally Singer anything in charm school?

Women like Sally Singer can’t stand the fact that Frist Lady Michelle Obama plays by her own fashion rules, and WEARS WHAT SHE LOVES. They can’t handle the fact that this beautiful BLACK woman is not following their WHITE standards of what they consider beauty or fashion.

Michelle Obama is NOT a model. She is the FLOTUS. She is a WOMAN WITH CURVES…like HIPS… Envy, sally, my dear is soooo UNATTRACTIVE. NEXT!

Like I said…Bitter bitches!
NOT AN UGLY LIBTARD

No one is jealous of Michelle Obama because everyone is sooooooooooooo much more beautiful than that ugly woman. Put her picture next to a chimpanzee and they look like twins. You libtards like to use the word jealous because your just as ugly as that witch. Ugly people defend ugly people. Run on that campaign your morons.
LIBTARDS HAVE LOW I.Q.’S

Another libtard who can’t spell… LMAO on “jeleousy”… get a spell checker, or better yet, ask Michelle to spell it out for you…. bawahahahahahaha
DISGUSTED WITH BLACKS

OMG… a black woman bitching about white women… like that ain’t nothing new. Your most likely one of the low I.Q. blacks that voted in the moron who’s bankrupting this country. Did you vote twice as most of your kind did? At least the majority of the “white” folk had enough intelligence to know that Barack and Mammie were nobody’s who just came out of the woodwork like flies on shit and got elected due to their black skins. Your black folks in the WH are hiding all sorts of personal stuff about themselves and your such a moron that you defend them because they are black like you are. That is pathetic. If Casper the Ghost ran for office, do you think whites would vote for him because he’s white? No you idiot, they wouldn’t, because they have more intelligence than blacks do. Your comments disgust me to the point where I am writing crap I shouldn’t be writing… your making me WANT to make you look bad, in fact, I’d like to do what you colored girls do all of the time… and that’s bitch slap the shit out of you. Get an education and quite bitching about how you poor little old black folks have it so bad. Next time, don’t vote PLEASE!
Nettezza

Her idea of controversial in New York is such bogus BS. Please, Sally, you don’t speak for New York Fashion, get out of the barn, learn some fashion and manners. Did you just make up that lie about Mila Kunis just so you’d get to say ‘diminutive younger’ on morning TV? You have a problem with women?

Sally Singer you are out of order in claiming anything about Mrs. Obama. She looked elegant and beautiful in her chosen dress. YOU Sally Singer should be smart enough, thoughtful enough, and representative of women and our interests not to be drawn into a catty like assessment of our First Lady….she is doing her job as FLOTUS and wearing a beautiful dress in doing so….You Ms. Singer should do your job and comment on things that uplift women and speak to our amazing contributions in the world of fashion and design. YOU Ms. Singer are talented use your skills for good and NOT for ill. Coach Parker DC
