Americans tuned in to hear President Obama deliver his first State of the Union address since taking office. Not only was it a political affair, but it was also a fashion affair, with the gorgeous First Lady Michelle Obama on hand. She was seated to the president’s right, on the mezzanine, as is customary at the address.
As is always the case, the first lady, who looked ravishing, commanded attention. She wore an adorable Isaac Mizrahi high-waisted bubble bottom eggplant-colored skirt with a matching 3/4 sleeve sweater top. The color of her attire was both beautiful and appropriate for the event and season.
And to offer a little tidbit of information on why she chose purple —because the president was addressing the nation in neutrality. He wasn’t just speaking to red states, nor blue states, he was addressing all states. If you mix red and blue you get purple, and if you looked closely, you would have noticed the theme throughout her husband’s entourage. There is always a method to the first lady’s fashion madness.
Mrs. Obama kept it simple with her accessories, wearing only a strand of pearls to complete her look. –christian johnson
