I'll give her classy, smart and ladylike. I did find her a bit abrasive at the particular conference I attended...however, I was particularly sensitive at that time in my life, so I'm not sure my assessment at that time could be called accurate. 
Funny story about that conference...I was sitting with three other friends...well, toward the end of the service, the friend to my left took off her wedding rings and handed them to a second friend. Apparently the second friend was rather shocked, and thought that friend #1 was under conviction over her jewelry and was removing her rings as a result. She was rather relieved (and amused at her own thoughts) when friend #1 reached down, pulled a little bottle of lotion from her purse, put some on her hands, and then offered to share with the rest of us. 
Incidentally, RR's sermon that afternoon was about jewelry (and other decorations).
