Our first thought when we saw the Obamas pop up on the screen to pay tribute to Diana Ross before she accepted her lifetime achievement honor [1] at the American Music Awards [2] was, "what a great pair for the job!" But then we turned to Michelle, taking her post-White House wardrobe [3] into consideration and acknowledging her look: a graphic printed blouse that was a touch more trendy than standard thanks to bell sleeves and a buzzy pattern.
Nevertheless, we loved how the collar on her top laid flat. It was a prim little detail others might not notice, but one we're calling out. Michelle finished her tailored shirt with black trousers and her standard jewels: her engagement ring and hoop earrings [4]. Read on to see Michelle rock this pristine design in the short video, then shop similar versions of it for your own closet.
