Michelle Obama dons a headscarf as she visits mosque on Indonesia trip - Her impeccable dress sense has been praised throughout the world.So it was no surprise that Michelle Obama managed to be stylish and show respect to her Muslim hosts when she visited a mosque on her tour of Indonesia.
The First Lady covered her hair with a beige animal-print scarf as she toured Jakarta's Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in southeast Asia.
Tour: Mr Obama and the Michelle were shown round the Istiqlal Mosque by Grand Imam Yaqub
But there was a nod to her sartorial instincts in the form of beads and turquoise fringing at the neck.

But there was a nod to her sartorial instincts in the form of beads and turquoise fringing at the neck.
Though her wide-legged Stephen Burrows trouser suit was simple in cut, Mrs Obama is never one to shy away from vibrant colour, and the edgy chartreuse hue was evidence of that.
She last wore the outfit by the Harlem, New York-based designer back in July.
Taking off their shoes, as another sign of respect in the place of worship, she and her husband strolled along a carpet laid across the sprawling courtyard together.
Along the way, the mosque's imam explained that a Christian church visible in the distance uses the mosque's car park during Christmas celebrations because it doesn't have enough space.
A smiling Mr Obama then relayed that story to reporters.
He called it an example of cooperation between the different religions in Indonesia, which has the world's largest Muslim population.
