What would the First Lady of the United States look like in traditional Indianwear?

Here are a few ideas -- vote for your favourite!

The country is in a tizzy over the Obama visit -- everyone is hoping they have a great stay.

After suggesting what Mrs O's shopping list should contain and the must-sees of Mumbai, we've been struck with another great idea -- traditional outfits Michelle Obama should buy!

Sure she'll be in a rush, but we're hoping to ease the choices with a picture presentation of her in the best of ethnicwear.

Mrs O, here's a gander at what you'd look like in the best traditional styles of India -- and may we venture that you look stunning!

The traditional sari

Of course, the nine yards of fabric are about as traditionally Indian as you could get -- here's a light cocktail look in fuschia with a sexy choli that we're sure you'd appreciate!

We agree that it's a little tricky to drape a sari, so if you're looking at quick, chic and comfortable, look no further -- may we present the salwar kameez. Seems to suit you just fine!
