The Narciso Rodriguez dress fashionistas can't stop talking about—and a photo gallery of Michelle's most elegant outfits from the trail.
Last night, as Barack took the stage to announce that “Yes, We Did,” Michelle was by his side, looking — as always — elegant, regal, and like the most fashionable first lady to take the White House since Camelot. But was her Narciso Rodriguez ensemble (from his spring 2009 collection, not even in stores yet) a little too fashion forward? With the lacy material, red fading into black, the cross-sheathing across the torso, and the cardigan topper, there was just a whole lot of dress going on. It was at once a more subdued color palette than her normal jewel tones and seemed too on-trend to match the timeless moment of Barack’s landslide. We are thrilled to have a stylish woman. in the White House again, and cannot wait for the days when little girls look to the presidential wife, rather than MTV, for sartorial inspiration. But we hope Michelle returns to her classic attire — she wears a form-fitting sheath dress like no one else — and stays true to her ageless ensembles. Obama’s nuclear family will be four of the most closely watched people in America for the next four years. Will we want to look back on the photos decades from now and say, “That dress is so 2008?” In the gallery, we look back on some of Michelle’s more successful get-ups.

Election Night Style Prediction
While we love tracking Mrs. O’s style, there are of course bigger things at stake today. Still, we can’t help but eagerly anticipate what Mrs. O will wear to the Obama Election Night event to be held at Chicago’s Grant Park tonight. Win or lose, it’s going to be a historic evening.
One possibility is a yet to be worn Maria Pinto frock. In an exclusive Heard on the Runway interview with Maria Pinto, the designer indicated that Mrs. O purchased a coral-red silk crepe sheath with three-quarter sleeves, an empire waist and a high neckline with a burst of sunray pleats emanating from the collar – but has yet to wear it to a major event. See our rendition of the dress above.
We imagine a patriotic palette is more than likely for this evening and coral-red seems to fit the bill. Further, Maria Pinto has historically been Mrs. O’s designer of choice for landmark campaign events. Both of which make us believe the dress above is a strong election night contender.
Also of interest in the interview was Maria Pinto’s commentary on the cerulean blue dress Mrs. O wore for the final presidential debate:
“It’s one of the most basic pieces in the collection – if you came to my showroom, it’s probably the last piece I would show you,” she says. “I have all these blouses and laces and fabrics that I developed. But then here’s this simple but beautifully colored sheath that all of a sudden gets this crazy attention – go figure.”
Mrs. O’s taste for simplicity reminds us of a quote from Jay Mulvaney’s book Jackie: The Clothes of Camelot in which Jackie Kennedy relayed direction to her favored designer of the time, Oleg Cassini:
“Even though these clothes are for official life, please don’t make them too dressy, as I’m sure I can continue to dress the way I like – simple and young clothes….”
Who knows what taste and style influence Mrs. O might bring to the White House. Here’s hoping, very much so, that we get to find out.
