With all the pretty lights at the National Christmas Tree Lighting, we should've been taking in the beautiful atmosphere on the front lawn at the White House. But instead, we had our eyes on Michelle Obama's jacket. The first lady participated in the 93rd annual ceremony along with the rest of her family, Reese Witherspoon, and even Miss Piggy. And every time she raised her hands in the air, we caught sight of her embellished sleeves.
They matched her gold hoop earrings! They complemented the glistening yellow tree behind her! They played up the buttons on her navy peacoat! While the rest of the Obamas looked equally festive, Michelle was the one who inspired us to pull out our holiday wish list.
Read on to zoom in on the FLOTUS's gorgeous metallic cuffs, and then shop for similarly adorned designs — because if there's one thing we learned from last night's events, it's that a coat with sparkly little details spreads a whole lot of cheer.

Forget a neutral coat — this season, we're going for an embellished peacoat, thanks.
