TODAY – Vivienne Westwood’s harsh tongue keeps getting her into trouble.
The British designer, 71, who criticized Duchess Kate’s style and makeup earlier this month, has now taken on our first lady.

The New York Times: You must love our first lady, who is famous for recycling her clothes.
Westwood: Don’t talk about her. It’s dreadful what she wears.
The New York Times: What?
Westwood: I don’t want to talk about it. Really, I can’t. She’s a very nice looking lady, but it’s a nonstarter regarding clothes that suit her.
