Everyone knows how tough it is being a royal, with all of the rules and etiquette requirements. But not many people consider how tough it is being part of the first family of the United States — particularly the first lady. According to The New York Times, what the first ladies can and cannot wear is deeply entrenched in protocol. As Capricia Penavic Marshall, who served as the chief of protocol for the United States from 2009 to 2013, explained, 'No one just decides one day that this is what I'm going to wear.' Every item that ends up on a first lady's body, from T-shirts to earrings, is carefully chosen to be in line with etiquette and screened for potential cultural and political implications — but sometimes, someone makes a mistake.

Michelle Obama discussed her first lady style in her book Becoming (per Elle), writing, 'I tried to be somewhat unpredictable, to prevent anyone from ascribing any sort of message to what I wore. It was a thin line to walk.' A thin line that she crossed a few times. Whether on purpose or by accident, here are the most inappropriate outfits worn by Michelle Obama.

Michelle Obama wore $540 shoes to a food bank

There's casual, and then there's first lady casual. As per a report from CBS News, Michelle Obama stepped out of the White House to volunteer at a food bank in Washington, D.C. in May of 2009, wearing a J. Crew argyle cardigan, khaki capri trousers, and a pair of $540 Lanvin sneakers. Dark grey suede topped with metallic pink toe caps and ribbon laces, the shoes are quite stylish and sold well during that spring's season. They were even favored among other celebrities like Kanye West and Ellen DeGeneres. So, what was the problem?

Some were quite angry that Obama wore such fancy sneakers to a food bank — as if she was flaunting her success and status. What did the first lady have to say about the controversy? According to the New York Daily News, her reps responded with, 'They're shoes.' Maggie Rodriguez from The Early Show quipped back, 'But they're expensive shoes.' Maybe Michelle Obama didn't go quite casual enough.

While taking and distributing a first lady's official White House portrait might seem like an old tradition to modern viewers, the custom only became official in 1961. According to Today, Mark Shaw's photograph of Jackie Kennedy wasn't originally taken in an official capacity, but it became so widely distributed that it is now regarded as her 'official' portrait. Since then, every first lady has designated one photo to be her official image.

Michelle Obama caused quite a stir, however, when she chose to go sleeveless in her first official White House photo. The picture depicts Obama standing next to a table in a sleek black shift dress and a classic pearl necklace. As per a report from ABC News, even though she looks stunning and elegant, some called out the first lady for being too informal. But Politico White House reporter Malika Henderson shared, 'It is very much her signature look, so I wasn't that surprised.' Perhaps the world just wasn't ready for Obama's amazing arms.

Michelle Obama exposed her arms at her husband's State of the Union address

Michelle Obama's official photo wasn't the only time she went sleeveless: Obama exposed her arms at the State of the Union address in 2016, as per Time. And, according to The New York Times, the first lady also went sans-sleeves on a Vogue cover, when she spoke to the press regarding White House menus, and even when she attended her husband's congressional address during his first year in office. What's so wrong with Obama's arms? ABC News declared it a mixture of informality and the fact that it was winter.

Even though they're controversial, no one can say that Mrs. Obama's arms are anything but impressive. And they should be, considering she wakes up at the crack of dawn to lift weights several times a week. Wendy Donahue, a style reporter for the Chicago Tribune, told ABC News that no matter the controversy, Obama is 'going to make bare arms her signature statement.' As she very well should.

Michelle Obama met the pope in a $2,290 dress

For some people, there's no one more famous or important than the Pope, so it makes sense that Michelle Obama busted out her best dress when she met Pope Francis outside of Washington, D.C. in September of 2015. As reported by the Daily Mail, the first lady stepped out to greet the Pope outside of Andrews Air Force Base in a $2,300 Carolina Herrera dress in a lovely powder blue color. The dress also boasted a chic yet demure cowl neck and a flattering waist tie belt. Her daughters, Malia Obama and Sasha Obama, were also dressed to the nines in patterned graphic skirts and short sleeve black blouses.

While the Obama family looked great, Pope Francis was probably not pleased with their expensive attire. His Holiness is well known for calling out capitalism and warning believers of the dangers of indulging in money. Whoops. Despite the conflicting messages, the Pope greeted Obama and her family with a warm smile. Perhaps even the Pope is good at being passive aggressive.

Michelle Obama wore short shorts

Who doesn't wear shorts to cool off in the summer heat? Everyone does it. But, when you're a first lady, people might not like it. That's exactly what happened to Michelle Obama when she rocked short shorts back in August of 2009. According to Today, Mrs. Obama fell under fire for wearing a pair of grey shorts on a family vacation to the Grand Canyon. Though the shorts weren't exactly risqué (they hit her mid-thigh), people felt that they weren't an appropriate choice for a first lady riding on Air Force One.

How did Obama herself feel about the controversy? In an interview she did with 106 & Park on BET, Obama claimed that the grey shorts were her 'biggest fashion regret' because they 'created a huge stink.' However, it's only the controversy she regrets, not the shorts themselves. After all, they were on vacation in the heat of the summer. Still, Obama did say that she wouldn't wear shorts on Air Force One ever again.

Michelle Obama left her head uncovered in Saudi Arabia

The first lady has a lot on her plate, including balancing the complexities of official State appearances in other countries. That might be her toughest job, because each individual country Michelle Obama visited when she was the first lady had its own set of rules, customs, and preferences. And sometimes, the country's official rules differed from their citizen's preferences, like when the Obamas visited Saudi Arabia in January of 2015. As per a report from Time, Obama drew heat from Saudi Arabians because she didn't wear a headscarf. People took to Twitter, posting angry comments like 'Michelle Obama should've stayed in Air Force One as a sign of boycott rather than flouting rules of another country' with the hashtag '#Michelle_Obama_NotVeiled'.

Even though people were mad, Obama hadn't actually broken any rules. Time also reported that though women from foreign countries are required to wear demure, loose-fitting clothing while visiting Saudi Arabia, they're not required to wear a headscarf. Poor Obama. She even got in trouble when she was following the rules!

The Microsoft text-to-speech voices are speech synthesizers provided for use with applications that use the Microsoft Speech API (SAPI) or the Microsoft Speech Server Platform. There are client, server, and mobile versions of Microsoft text-to-speech voices. Client voices are shipped with Windows operating systems; server voices are available for download for use with server applications such as Speech Server, Lync etc. for both Windows client and server platforms, and mobile voices are often shipped with more recent versions of Windows Phone. Windows 10 also brings the mobile text to speech voices to the desktop starting with the Anniversary Update.

Voices[edit]

Windows 2000 and Windows XP[edit]

Microsoft Sam is the default text-to-speech male voice in Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP. It is used by Narrator, the screen reader program built into the operating system.

Microsoft Mike and Microsoft Mary are optional male and female voices respectively, available for download from the Microsoft website. Michael and Michelle are also optional male and female voices licensed by Microsoft from Lernout & Hauspie, and available through Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft Office 2003 or Microsoft Reader.

There are both SAPI 4 and SAPI 5 versions of these text-to-speech voices. SAPI 4 voices are only available on Windows 2000 and later Windows NT-based operating systems. While SAPI 5 versions of Microsoft Mike and Microsoft Mary are downloadable only as a Merge Module,[1] the installable versions may be installed on end users' systems by speech applications such as Microsoft Reader. SAPI 4 redistributable versions are downloadable for Windows 9x, although no longer from the Microsoft website.

Microsoft Sam, Microsoft Mike and Microsoft Mary can be used on Windows Vista and later with a third-party program (like Speakonia and TTSReader) installed on the machine that supports these operating systems; however, the speech patterns differ from the Windows XP versions of these voices. In addition, LH Michael and LH Michelle can work on Windows 7 and later if Speakonia and the SAPI 4 version of the voices in British English is downloaded.

Windows Vista and Windows 7[edit]

Beginning with Windows Vista and Windows 7, Microsoft Anna is the default English voice. It is a SAPI5-only female voice and is designed to sound more natural than Microsoft Sam.[2]Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 and later install the Microsoft Anna voice on Windows XP systems for the voice-prompt direction feature. There is no male voice shipping with Windows Vista and Windows 7, and neither Microsoft Mike or Mary will work on Windows 7.

A female voice called Microsoft Lili that replaces the earlier male SAPI5 voice 'Microsoft Simplified Chinese' is available in Chinese versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7. It can also be obtained in non-Chinese versions of Windows 7 or Vista by installing the Chinese language pack.

In 2010, Microsoft released the newer Speech Platform compatible voices for Speech Recognition and Text-to-Speech for use with client and server applications. These voices are available in 26 languages[3] and can be installed on Windows client and server operating systems. Speech Platform voices, unlike SAPI 5 voices, are female-only; no male voices are released publicly yet.

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1[edit]

In Windows 8, there are three new client (desktop) voices - Microsoft David (US male), Hazel (UK female) and Zira (US female) which sound more natural than the now-eliminated Microsoft Anna. The server versions of these voices are available via above mentioned Speech Platform for operating systems earlier than Windows 8. Unlike Windows 7 or Vista, one cannot use any third-party program for Microsoft Anna because there is no Anna Voice API for download. Other voices are available for specific language versions of either Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.[4]

Windows 10 and later[edit]

In Windows 10, Microsoft Hazel was removed from the US English Language Pack and the Microsoft voices for Mobile (Phone/tablet) are available (Microsoft Mark and Microsoft Zira). These are the same voices found on Windows Phone 8, Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10 Mobile.

Also with these voices language packs are also available for a variety of voices similar to that of Windows 8 and 8.1. None of these voices match the Cortana text-to-speech voice which can be found on Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 10 Mobile.

In an attempt to unify its software with Windows 10, all of Microsoft's current platforms use the same text-to-speech voices except for Microsoft David and a few others.

Mobile[edit]

Every mobile voice package has the combination of male/female, while most of the desktop voice packages have only female voices. All mobile voices have been made universal and any user who downloads the language pack of that choice will have one extra male and female voice per that package.

A hidden text-to-speech voice in Windows 10 called Microsoft Eva Mobile is present within the system. Users can download a pre-packaged registry file from the windowsreport.com website. Microsoft Eva is believed to be the early voice for Cortana until Microsoft replaced her with the voice of Jen Taylor in most areas.

These voices are updated with Windows to sound more natural than in the original version as seen in updated retail builds of Windows 10.
