On Thursday, Michelle Obama’s nude dress color instantly attracted controversy that surrounded white supremacy. Is it just bad press on First Lady Obama or should reporters research their fashion phrases?
Apparently the aggrerator blog site dimewars believed the Associate Press needed to rephrase their choice of words when it came to the nude dress color. They quoted one newspaper reporter in saying “Who’s flesh? Not hers.”
The use of the word nude color and flesh tone provoked many fashionsta’s to feel that the description was racists and politically incorrect.
First Lady Obama who wore the controversial colored dress to a white house state dinner probably never realized that she would cause another fashion outrage with yet another garment she stylishly adorned.
Tweeters on twitter also questioned the use of the word nude and if the term was appropriate to describe the flesh of someone’s color.

Fox 40 reported that many fashionista’s felt the term nude was to vague and rarely used the term.
MSNBC reported that the controversy around the use of the color nude is loaded, the Associated Press has since changed their terminology from nude to champagne.
