Michelle Obama [1]'s fresh Spring dress is not like the rest of them [2]. It's the type that makes you want to zoom in close and investigate, seeing that it's printed with a map and features scripture all along the skirt. Phrases like "Sensibility," "Obedience," and "Sincerity" can be made out if you examine the details — and those words are stronger than your average floral print [3], eh?
Michelle's design is by Gucci, and she wore it to attend BET's Leading Women Defined event, where she was interviewed by Valerie Jarrett [4] on stage. It makes for quite the memorable number, which is why we thought right back to Michelle's appearance on The Ellen Show [5] in September 2016, when she first debuted this flashy yellow midi.
While it's no longer available to shop, we're feeling the "make them look twice" vibes Michelle's emitting, so we rounded up a bunch of dresses with patterns so striking, we'd like to study them with binoculars. Read on to scoop one up for your own wardrobe.
