White House alert! Who's gonna tell First Ladies what to wear?

India TV News  

Michelle Obama, touted as world's most fashionable icon recently fell victim to some unorthodox custom policing. Ever since US First Lady Michelle Obama stepped out on Saudi Arabian land, she was targeted for not following or respecting kingdom's custom, under which women are compelled to cover their heads. Mrs Obama arrived with her husband and US President Barack Obama to pay condolences for Late King Abdullah; but soon after she emerged from Air Force One, Michelle was subjected to some stark reactions from around the Kingdom's unrealistic gaze.

With so much uproar for Michelle's decision for choice of clothing, one must not forget that first she is not and was never grown up to follow Muslim traditions; she is the First Lady of the United States of America.
