Happy Birthday Michelle Obama! Here are Some of Our Favorite Looks from the First Lady.

Michelle Obama, 50th Birthday

The First Lady turns the big 5-0 today, so what better way is there to celebrate than to look at some of her greatest fashion hits?


Michelle Obama’s style has always been the perfect balance of modern and daring. With bold prints and conservative cuts her style is perfect for the working mom of the millennium. She often mixes high and low, making her style affordable, but also causing pieces from fast fashion sites like ASOS, J.Crew, and the Gap to be sold out within minutes. Here are some of our favorite looks from First Lady Obama.

Marchesa

This green off-the-shoulder gown is pure elegance

Narciso Rodriguez

This dress, worn on election night, 2008 was much buzzed about and received pretty mixed reviews. I actually really liked it.

J. Mendel

This beautiful beaded top caused a bit of mini controversy because of its price ($6,800.00) but she wore it more than once, so I guess that’s ok. Right?
