President Barack Obama gave the annual State of the Union address during a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.
Michelle Obama was in attendance looking lovely as always wearing a Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2013 dress.
Originally presented as a leather halter quilted tweed dress, Jason Wu made a FLOTUS friendly version of look.
I love how it retains the edge with the leather detailing plus the A-line silhouette is so flattering on her gorgeous figure.
Sporting her ‘second term bangs‘, Michelle styled the look with a gold flower brooch and I’m guessing black Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik kitten heels.
No wonder Jason Wu continues to be her go-to designer.

She looks fantastic! While I do love the lookbook version, I love the modified version just as much.
I think it would have been better with a belt. She seems to love belts. I wonder why she chose not to wear one this time.
the dress is perfection on her, and her version actually looks alot nicer than the look book version. the hair though looks “wiggy”
Elegnat but with a bit of sass and edge. I hope she gets a second term Vogue cover.
Much prefer the modified to the original. Great color combo. The brooch looks like Alexis Bittar to me.
Michelle Obama is probably my fashion icon but I really DO NOT LIKE her bangs AT ALL! I tried but…no! She looks great otherwise.
FLOTUS looks greAt as always!
On a side note.. FC aren’t you gonna feature your looks from the fashion week this time?
no, not this time
A pity, enjoyed your fashion stories and pictures but we understand it’s up to you.
I love the modified look for the First Lady and the richness of the red. You know I could actually see Michelle Obama wearing the original look on the model, if it were floor length, as a gown. She’s worn gowns with similar silhouettes before.
Michelle + Jason Wu = Perfection!

Gorgeous. BDOTW nominee?
Michelle looks nice bit I wanna see someone rocking the original cool edgy version which I much prefer.
Yup!
Love the dress, on the fence about the hair. I like her bangs but the hair looks too puffy on top.
Her love affair with brooches continues to please me.

The hair looks better on this occasion. It is really cute. I like how it frames her face. Love the dress. Looking forward to more fashion moments from her.
Doesn’t she look just fabulous! We are soo proud.

Totally gorgeous.
Pretty. A bit too cocktail for the occasion IMO.
