Nov 5 2015 - 7:15am

Leave it to the always-stylish first lady to [1] wear a silk robe to a work event [2] and totally pull it off. She selected a bright, floral Dries Van Noten design to give a speech at the World Innovation Summit For Education in Qatar. Even though, on the hanger, we might have questioned whether the gorgeous Fall '15 gown is work appropriate, Michelle Obama [3] knew exactly how to style it — with a pair of dusty pink statement earrings and her stunning engagement ring.

Her formal gown was elegant and perfectly fitting for promoting the project she's quite passionate about [4], Let Girls Learn. Not only did she give us major #OutfitGoals [5], she also proved that you can make power moves [6] in a luxe, comfortable look. Read on to see Michelle show off her smart fashion sense on the job, and then shop her dress!

Michelle shared a snap of her stylish look on Instagram, writing, "Issues like girls' education and workplace equality have never been and will never be just women's issues. #LetGirlsLearn."
