When You Read the Words on Michelle Obama's Dress, You'll Know Exactly Why She Wore It

Michelle Obama's got a handful of favorite designers that anyone would count as stylish. But she's never worn a piece by Alessandro Michele for Gucci — that is until her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. We aren't surprised she chose such a momentous occasion to debut a fun dress like this one. It comes from the label's Spring 2016 collection and is printed with words like "Sensibility," "Obedience," and "Sincerity," all of which coincide with Michelle's values. Of course there are fun details too, like the sequined ribbons, belts, and ruffles that add shine to the silhouette.

The FLOTUS is not the first celebrity to wear Gucci on a talk show. Dakota Johnson wore a midi from the same collection on The Tonight Show, and Salma Hayek visited Jimmy Kimmel in a lace piece from the fashion house. So yes, Gucci is favored by many when it comes to interviews. But one scroll through the photos below and a sneak peek at her hosting gig, and we think you'll agree that Michelle's number is next level. She is the first lady after all.
