Michelle Obama is known for making bold yet smart style choices while attending events in her role as the First Lady.

So naturally, she went for an artistic vibe while attending the ribbon cutting ceremony of the Whitney Museum's new location in New York City on Thursday. FLOTUS chose a brightly printed dress from Thakoon's resort collection, wisely keeping the rest of the look simple with black pumps and minimal jewelry.

And yet: Is that some metallic nail polish we see? Well played, Ms. Obama.
