Haircuts, fancy sneakers, sleeves or no sleeves...first lady Michelle Obama's every getup is scrutinized by the world.

So when Matt Lauer interviewed her on Today, he asked the tough questions that everybody wants to know, like how the fashion icon picks her clothes and if it bothers her when people criticize her choices.

Turns out Mrs. Obama's all about efficiency. She's got "people" to help her pick out a week's or even two weeks' worth of outfits at a time, because she doesn't have the time to spend every morning stressing out about what to wear. Smart.

And she doesn't let the haters get to her. "I don't think that much about the response to it," she tells Lauer matter-of-factly. "I wear what I like. I wear what's comfortable."

Are you impressed by the first lady's style secrets?
