Obviously that's more leg than the MO usually flashes but this dress is so pretty that maybe she won't resist. Or maybe he'll just make her a slightly different one.
Jason Wu
One of my favorite Michelle Obama gowns of all time was Jason Wu, so it's entirely feasible she'd dial up this one at some point. It's so cool. Basically, we need the Obamas to throw a boatload of state dinners, presumably as apologies to the world for how freaking WEIRD this election cycle has been.
Jason Wu
A lighter version.
Jason Wu
I cannot let go of the neon flowers. I could see her wearing this blouse with a flared skirt.
Oscar De La Renta
Both Sasha AND Malia are probably rooting for this one, as they surely want to raid MO's closet.
Oscar De La Renta
Michelle doesn't tend toward cleavage, but this would look awfully pretty on her.
Zac Posen
This could be interesting, right?
Zac Posen
Just pop over the Atlantic and visit the new PM and her husband, Michelle! This would be great.
Zac Posen
She would slay in this. Also, orange is happening next spring. In case it wasn't already happening for you the way it is for Dylan, who would paint himself orange if he could.
Zac Posen
That would work, maybe, if the skirt flared out more in the vein of a full ballgown.
Naeem Khan
MO looks fab in yellow.
Carolina Herrera
There was a photo of this dress in full, but the light and the drama was just better in this one of the model ascending stairs. Michelle would look SO GOOD in this.
Carolina Herrera
She'd clearly have to rejigger the bodice, but I love the stripes.
Christian Siriano
The drama of the arm capes would be divine. You wouldn't see a slit that high, but that's okay. It won't hurt the gown to sew up that sucker a little bit.
Christian Siriano
WILL she wear this? No. Would it be SO FUN? YES.
Christian Siriano
I'm torn on this one, because I think it's embiggening on this model. But it'd surely cross FLOTUS's mind, at least. She loves a day dress.
Christian Siriano
I mean, she DOES have great shoulders.
J Mendel
Michelle Obama is also unafraid of patterns, as we know, so the dress underneath the coat might be great on her. Even WITH the coat, actually, I am on board.
Rubin Singer
I'll be honest, I mostly just wanted to show this to you. SOMEONE should wear it. Michelle likely won't. Maybe Malia can.
Rubin Singer
She'd at least CONSIDER this, right?
Adam Selman
The piping on this seems very, very flattering.
Jason Wu
Orange and blue are apparently the colors of my life right now.
Nicole Miller
Admittedly, I mostly want this for me. It's not very Michelle Obama. But if you made the cut of the skirt a bit flippier and put a blouse with it, maybe, that could fit the bill. Or she could just give this a shot. Or send it to Kate Middleton as a parting gift. It would be great on her.
Jenny Packham
Very artsy for Jenny Packham. I always think of her as lace or sequins.
Jenny Packham
This cut is also more Middleton than Michelle, but that doesn't mean Michelle wouldn't look good in it.
Carmen Marc Valvo
Again: SHOULDERS.
Carolina Herrera
Yes yes yes yes.
Oscar De La Renta
This is only in here for the skirt. MO is unafraid of separates.
Monique Lhuillier
Shoulders, Part III.
Michael Kors
Maybe?
Michael Kors
Yes, right? It's basically a coat-dress. Order one up, MO.
Bibhu Mohapatra
I feel like Michelle would wear the skirt portion with a plain black top, cut differently.
Bibhu Mohapatra
This is admittedly a reach. It's for if she's feeling funky, I guess.
Naeem Khan
The bodice here isn't RAGINGLY flattering on the model, so Michelle might want to be cautious, but that GIGANTIC skirt is fabulous. I would love to see her swanning around in it.
Marc Jacobs
She should wear this entire outfit just the way it is.
HA. No. This is just here for the coat. It's a GREAT COAT.
Marchesa
This bodice isn't right for Michelle Obama, but the fabric could be. I mean, this is the closest she's ever going to come to Marchesa, right?
