Narrating live coverage can obviously be a bit repetitive and boring but really - do we need to be told who people aren't, especially when it's one of the most famous people on the planet?
It was a cringeworthy moment for the BBC and on a day where everyone is watching the 45th president of The United States of America, no one wants to mess up.
Sadly for Katty, the catty comments on Twitter soon poured in.
BBC are trash Seeing an unidentified black woman and saying its not Michelle Obama. After all this years we KNOW what Michelle looks like!!

A lot of things are going to change - we're entering a new era where there's a lot of uncertainty. But, at least we know for sure, that woman in the pink and purple dress and tan coat isn't Michelle Obama.
