Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood (left) doesn't want to discuss Michelle Obama's "dreadful" style, telling a New York Times reporter "I don't want to talk about it. Really, I can't. (Michelle Obama's) a very nice looking lady, but it's a nonstarter regarding clothes that suit her."

Chicago's own First Lady, famous for recycling outfits and wearing everything from Jason Wu to J. Crew, apparently doesn't pass Westwood's Jackie O. test.

"Jackie Kennedy was a different matter altogether," Westwood said. "It just has to suit her and be something that makes a human being more glamorous. That's what fashion is there for. It's there to help, not just to make you look more conservative."

Michelle Obama, take it from your friends in Chicago - the Vivienne Westwood look shown below in a Paris fashion show isn't going to make you look more conservative. Other than it's Republican red.
