Ellen DeGeneres [1] turned 60 on Jan. 26, and among the handful of stars who helped her ring in the celebration [2] was the one and only Michelle Obama [3]. The former first lady appeared on Ellen's daytime talk show [4], joining Jennifer Aniston [5], who was also there for the mini get-together. While Jennifer chose a black button-down and skinnies combination [6], Michelle stood out in an ivory knit top from Tom Ford and Roland Mouret black trousers [7] ($819, originally $1,365).
The wide-leg pants had a business professional feel, no doubt a dress code Michelle's been familiar with since her White House days [8], and they featured a small peplum detail on the left leg. It looks like Michelle's back from vacation, and has swapped her breezy pieces [9] for more tailored ones for all public appearances. Read on to see photos from the cute reunion and then shop similar flared trousers, below.
