Michelle Obama [1] has been on a serious sartorial roll. After stunning at the White House state dinner last week in a floral sleeveless Jason Wu gown [2] — as well as over [3] and over [4] at other engagements — the first lady pulled another stylish move for a Wednesday appearance at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas.

For a special Let Girls Learn event with Missy Elliott, Sophia Bush, Diane Warren, and Queen Latifah [5], the first lady wore a custom dress from the New York-based label 3.1 Phillip Lim. The dress was similar to a dress that went down the runway at the Spring 2016 3.1 Phillip Lim show; however, modifications were made for the first lady's version. To complete the look, FLOTUS wore a pair of Stuart Weitzman suede Nearlynude sandals. Read on for a closer look at her stunning look and to shop similar pieces right now.
