When it comes to major White House events, such as hosting Canada's first family or the Broadway cast of Hamilton, Michelle Obama has a no-fail styling trick we all can turn to this Spring. She always keeps her look simple, letting a statement dress steal the spotlight, making sure she doesn't overdo it with accessories.

She put her hack on display at yesterday's musical workshop and Q&A, donning a dark Tanya Taylor dress that featured a floral pattern. As for her footwear, Michelle went with black pumps, and thin silver drop earrings peeked out from underneath her hair. It was a classic and polished look that anyone could easily copy — even after snoozing that alarm one too many times.
