If you're still stumped about what to wear on New Year's Eve, perhaps you can gather inspiration from the power dresser known as FLOTUS [1]. Michelle Obama [2] always manages to step out looking equally polished and on-trend [3], but her Christmas ensemble — a fit-and-flare LBD paired with matching black shoes — is one that'll surely suit everyone.

Michelle wore the ultimate closet staple [4] while accompanying her husband on a visit to the US Marine Corps Base in Hawaii. The look, which she kept simple by accessorizing with tiny hoop earrings, was perfect for a warm climate, but add a pair of tights and another top layer, and it's instantly Winter weather ready.

Read on to see Michelle's ensemble in full, and then shop a similar piece for yourself, to solve this fashion dilemma.

Michelle kept things simple for Christmas, pairing her sleeveless LBD with black flats.
