Just hours after finding out that First Lady Michelle Obama had chosen an outfit of his design to the presidential inauguration, fashion designer Thom Browne shared his reactions and inspirations.

He said the inspiration for the coat in navy silk textured tie jacquard fabric with a fitted bodice and undulated skirt over a dress of navy, loden, gray, pink and white jacquard based on a men's silk tie jacquard fabric, was the first lady herself.

I don't like anything about her, but she did look very nice in her coat with her new hairdo.

A time traveler, right out of Star Trek ! Though for her, she looks better than normal. I don't like her choice in clothes. She is the worst dressed First Lady ever. So for her she looks good but I guess that's not saying to much.

With all the problems facing the United States, this really is the shallowest of questions. Come on L.A. Times, where are you cutting edge questions about Fast and Furious and Benghazi?

It was too dull and conservative. I would have preferred a bright color to go with her beautiful smile

BEAUTIFUL SMILE? I don't know what you're talking about! Too big a mouth and too big or too many teeth!

I am a fashionista. The outfit was beautiful and befitted for the occasion and the weather! A plus, plus, plus! First Lady Obama's hair was a perfect match for the chic, stylish, modern, and feminine-conservative look.

There's nothing that she can do. Once she straightens her hair no matter what she does next she winds up looking like the toy in the Toy Box that no kid wants to touch.

Classy! I would wear it, except for the shoes--I couldn't walk in those.

She looks better than 95% of overweight, poorly dressed contarded sodaheads.

Looked too small, and too tight. Does she NOT pay a stylist to make sure she doesn't look like a walmart shopper?

I have not been on SodaHead for awhile. I will now respond to your response: When people say there is nothing to be jealous of it is because they are jealous.
