Before the Obama family could jet off on their annual holiday vacation, they had to make one very important stop: San Bernardino, CA, where they visited families of victims of the recent terrorist attack. Though it was a somber occasion, Michelle selected the perfect dress to take her from the plane to the evening's event.
The first lady, whose fashion choices have been on point this year, wore a floaty, short-sleeved ombré number that seemed to sparkle in the night as she disembarked Air Force One alongside Barack, Sasha, and Malia Obama.
She avoided that messy bedhead look by pulling her locks into a tight topknot to better reveal her speckled, knee-length design and covered up with a fresh cardigan upon arrival. Michelle accessorized her outfit with her engagement ring and a pair of elegant drop earrings that we can just imagine her slipping on at the last second — making her throw-on-and-go ensemble look like a masterpiece, when it's actually quite effortless.
