She Must Dress Appropriately at All Times
The First Lady must be dressed appropriately for all appearances in the public eye. Questionable fashion choices leave her susceptible to harsh criticism, as her every fashion choice is meticulously scrutinized. Being overdressed or underdressed for an occasion can be met with disapproval from the public. In recent years, First Lady Michelle Obama received backlash for wearing shorts while visiting the Grand Canyon in 2009, while First Lady Melania Trump was criticized for wearing an olive-green jacket with the message “I really don’t care, do u?” on the back side of the jacket.
This is one of the First Lady rules that just makes sense.
