Perhaps this is what you get for becoming a fashion icon – a moderately unattractive doll that’s supposed to be you, even if it doesn’t really look like you. Congratulations, Michelle.
We do appreciate the fact that the Michelle Obama doll is sartorially accurate. She comes in three versions:
1.
The black and red Narciso Rodriguez Election Day dress
2.
The purple Maria Pinto “fist bump” dress
3. The black and white Donna
Ricco dress worn on The View
Perhaps we should seen this coming (it debuts November 15th) since the same company, Jailbreak Toys, already made a Barack Obama version.
We'd prefer to dress like Michelle Obama, rather than keep a doll around that’s dressed like Michelle Obama. We think she'd like this purple dress from First Lady favorite J. Crew, and a black and white sleeveless sheath that's similar to the Donna Rico dress (which has long since sold out).
