Michelle Obama in Indonesia 2010

The outfit that Michelle Obama wore (see image below) turned some heads for sure, and she gained the attention, respect and admiration of Muslim women. Muslim women, whether they wear the headscarf, i.e., the hijab, or not, tend to dress modestly - no showing of skin, and basically no clothes that objectifies the female body in a sexual manner. To see the First Lady of the most important country (one that is usually thought of as being hostile to Muslims, especially during the Bush era), dress in a manner that most Muslim women dress was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Michelle Obama wore a knee-length tunic with long sleeves and wide legged black pants. And she looked fantastic.
