First Lady's Kicks Too Fancy?

Controversy is a-bubblin’ in the White House. While usually praised for her fashion choices, apparently, Michelle Obama isn’t allowed to flex her mean fashion game at all events.

The First Lady wore a pair of grey and pink Lanvin shoes to volunteer at a food bank last week. Critics say the kicks were in poor taste for an anti-poverty event since they cost $540.

It’s not clear whether the shoes were a gift or if Mrs. O actually purchased them.

This isn’t the first time the First Lady has rocked the fancy French label to an event. She also wore a Lanvin shirt to a tree-planting event recently (yeah, random...I'm not wearing my frocks to dig dirt).

So, is the First Lady wrong for wearing something so high-end to a volunteer event or, can she wear whatever she wants? What’s your call? Fabulous Fashion or Fashion Tragedy?
