Michellle Obama: Decoding the Style Secrets of America's First Lady

America’s First Lady needs no introduction. Michelle Obama is the big sister we all wished we had, a perfect role model. She is smart, witty, down to earth, a perfect wife and mother, and oozes of style and self-confidence.

 

A Harvard Law School graduate with many years of experience as a corporate executive, Michelle is a smart cookie who has also won us over with advocating real-world issues such as child obesity, the need for exercise, and vegetable gardening.

 

She manages to be one of the most famous women today with seemingly middle-class ethos. Here's a photo of her shopping under-cover at Target!

Her fashion sense also has a major influence on the stock market. When seen in a J. Crew outfit for example, the company enjoys a major boost in its stocks and pieces get sold out.

Michelle Obama carries off any outfit she wears with stylish ease thanks to her lithe, athletic figure. Her arms have been the envy of many a fashion editor, and she definately works to keep them in great shape.

 

 

With arms like these, its no wonder Michelle looks so great in sleeveless numbers.

 

Michelle seems to have a liking for the classic empire waistline dress.

 

 

She also manages to look spectacular in her evening gowns.

 

Michelle also dons cardigans when more modesty is called for (like when she met with the Queen).

 

Michelle seems to have a liking for pearls, a timeless accessory, but manages to give it a modern twist with multiple stands and larger beads.

 

 

Michelle also loves statement jewelry, and cleverly chooses one to two pieces that are big and bold and accentuate the overall look.

 

Another statement piece Michelle tends to use often is wide belts.

 

Overall, Michelle Obama encompasses the modern woman of today. Highly educated with experience in the corporate world, mother of two, and wife of the President, she doesn’t look a day over 30 (she’s 49!). She is definitely on my ‘role models’ list.
