It was just a normal evening for Michelle and Barack Obama, attending a state dinner in Buenos Aires alongside Argentine leader Mauricio Macri and his wife, Juliana Awada. But then, suddenly, two tango dancers swept them off their feet. Michelle's satin, crystal-embellished dress swayed with the music, playing up her metallic Jimmy Choo kitten heels that were just the right height for dancing.

Maybe the FLOTUS wasn't expecting to show off her moves at the event, but then her flared cocktail number was a very happy coincidence. Read on to see why the design's subtle pleating was made for the dance floor in the video below, then get all the details on Michelle's accessories and shop similar styles.
