Photographs of the first lady descending the steps of Air Force One in shorts have the media in a sweat. Some are saying Mrs Obama - on her way to the Grand Canyon for a family vacation - may have revealed too much skin.
Mrs Obama is no stranger to public scrutiny over her fashion decisions, including exposing her bare arms or wearing expensive sneakers to a soup kitchen. When Anya Strzemien, style editor at The Huffington Post, saw Obama's shorts, she knew there would be interest.
''I thought the fact that she wore shorts was newsworthy because she's the first first lady to wear shorts on Air Force One,'' Strzemien said. ''I was interested as a newsperson because it was a first. A lot of things the Obamas have done have been firsts.''
