Isn't this an odd appearance for her final farewell tour stop?

To slam...

Although Michelle Obama's fashion is quite stylish, her glittery thigh-high boots sowed chaos among people. As a result, fans began shaming the former FLOTUS for her extravagant look.

Well Michelle has flaws. That dress looks like a great big lemon. Not feeling this one. I still love her tho. https://t.co/cO9sFAsmCJ

Looks like the fire department had to cover her with that yellow tarp after she was hit with a glitter bomb.

she can

although I judge slightly a person who would buy such expensive boots

she can afford it but there's some moral obligation to be against conspicuous consumption

Or not to slam?

While one group of fans judged Michelle Obama for this bright yellow outfit, others protected her and expressed their 'wow' emotions.

Why not? Michelle can wear anything she wants. Her body is always clothed. Not like some 1st Lady you know and I know never really wants clothes on her naked body.
