First Lady Fashion Minute: First Lady Michelle Obama Wears Thom Browne Coat, Dress and J Crew Jeweled Belt

First Lady Style:










Michelle Obama looked flawless today during the 2013 Presidential Inauguration festivities. The newly-banged First Lady (when is the last time we saw a US First Lady with bangs!!??) donned a gray-blue silk jacquard A-Line shaped coat from US designer Thom Browne. The coat was based on a necktie fabric and custom-made for the First Lady. She also wore a fit-to-flare A-line Thom Browne dress underneath the coat (which she wore with a Reed Krakoff cropped cardigan) J.Crew Valentina pumps ($238), and a multistrand pearl necklace by Cathy Waterman ($17,300).




Thom Browne has made a name for himself with his shrunken suits, jackets, cropped "high-water" tailored skinny trousers--all of which has revolutionized the young menswear Contemporary market--and all his suits have been copied by the likes of H&M and TopMan. He designs for Brooks Brothers Black Fleece and in 2006 was honored by the Council of Fashion Designers of America with the Menswear Designer of the Year.













For the actual Swearing In in the US Capitol, she added a FABULOUS--and very on-trend--jeweled belt from JCrew, beautiful Aubergine Leather gloves and switched her pumps for some Reed Krakoff knee high boots. After today’s official events, Michelle Obama’s ensemble (and the
accessories) will go to the National Archives.



First Daughters Sasha and Malia:








The First Daughters, Sasha and Malia were in colorful shades of purple from Kate Spade and JCrew, respectively.  I LOVED the bold colors, and very fitted stylish coats. I especially liked Sasha's statement making necklace--also very on-trend:





 It is so endearing to see how much they have matured and grown up--from how they looked four years ago:
