Get the Look: Michelle Obama

Congratulations to the new first family! Upon moving into the White House on January 20, 2009, Michelle Obama not only brings her history-making husband, two beautiful girls, and new pet (please go for the pound dog, not the breeder’s pup) but also her seemingly effortless good taste and style.

Hello new First Family, the Obamas!

Michelle Obama always looks sharp, whether she’s wearing a J. Crew outfit on The Tonight Show or a Narciso Rodriguez dress on Election Day night. And the right jewelry—of course—compliments all of her ensembles.

Does Michelle’s dress look familiar? Of course, it’s the same Narciso Rodriguez garment from the runway.

Colorful brooches played a role in her outfits at the Democratic National Convention and on late-night TV, multiple strands of pearls were evident on the campaign trail, and finally, diamonds took the spotlight on Election Day night. If you like what you see, then let Michelle Obama’s fashion sense inspire your own interpretation (suggestions below).

The press reported that her turquoise pin, worn during the Democratic National Convention, is her own and not a loaner.

And what’s better than diamonds to celebrate a big night? Answer: more diamonds. Thus, Mrs. Obama dons oversize diamond drop earrings and bangle bracelets on Election Day night.
