Michelle Obama's Tuxedo Dress Is Way More Party Than Business

First, Michelle and Barack Obama got down to business: they hosted a reception for the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC. But then, it was time to party. The couple joined an audience that included Will Smith and John Legend for a performance at the Kennedy Center. Of course, Michelle had the perfect look, appropriate for both parts of the evening.

The FLOTUS wore a jacquard tuxedo dress that, while tailored and modest up top, featured tiers of tulle at the bottom. The sleeveless design wasn't just sophisticated, it was fun and undeniably elegant all at once. Michelle played up the shimmer in silver drop earrings and diamond rings, drawing attention to the embroidery on her number.
