Inappropriate Outfits Michelle Obama Has Been Caught Wearing

Michelle Obama wasn't afraid to break style rules while she was First Lady. And while she made an indelible imprint on fashion, not every look was a hit. So on purpose or by accident, here are the most inappropriate outfits she ever wore. There's casual, and then there's first lady casual. According to a report from CBS News, Michelle Obama stepped out of the White House to volunteer at a food bank in Washington, D.C. in April of 2009, wearing a J. Crew argyle cardigan, khaki capri trousers, and a pair of $540 Lanvin sneakers. Dark grey suede topped with metallic pink toe caps and ribbon laces, the shoes are quite stylish and sold well during that spring's season. They were even favored among other celebrities like Kanye West and Ellen DeGeneres. So, what was the problem? Some were quite angry that Obama wore such fancy sneakers to a food bank — as if she was flaunting her success and status. What did the first lady have to say about the controversy? According to the New York Daily News, her reps responded with, "They're shoes." Maggie Rodriguez from The Early Show quipped back, "But they're expensive shoes." Maybe Obama didn't go quite casual enough.
