Kerry Washington Wears Exact Tracy Reese Dress to Spoof Michelle Obama on SNL
Kerry Washington hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend, bringing the show its highest ratings this season, and naturally the budding style star looked amazing while she did it. (She also fueled -- but didn't comment on -- those pregnancy rumors.) Her first sketch had her appear as First Lady Michelle Obama, and the costume department certainly paid attention to detail.

Trendspotting: Floral and Plaid
With the '90s being the decade of inspiration du jour for designers in spring 2014, one comes to expect some typical '90s staples. Case in point, Birkenstocks, overalls, and the slip dress, but what would the '90s be without florals and plaid? Paired together, they are showing up on the runways and thankfully not always in the typical grungy fashion.
Nail Art Gets a Much Needed Make-Under
I'm tired of elaborate nail art. It just looks wrong and overwrought to me now. Well, manicurists seemed to agree, because while there's been quite a bit of nail art backstage at the spring shows, it's mostly been really simple, graphic, and minimalist.

Lea Seydoux in Louis Vuitton, Alexa Chung in Kenzo and More

Carey Mulligan and Mia Wasikowska, in Miu Miu and Proenza respectively, rocked the Venice red carpets; Leah Seydoux stunned in Louis Vouitton in Paris; and the First Lady was a vision in Tracy Reese in D.C. Click through for all that and the rest of this week's best dressed!

Michelle Obama Wears Tracy Reese to Commemorate March on Washington
President Obama and his wife Michelle hit the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC for the Let Freedom Ring Commemoration, with the First Lady wearing an elegant Tracy Reese frock. The First Lady is pretty conscientious when it comes to selecting her outfits for public occasions; it's fitting she chose to wear an African American designer to celebrate such a watershed moment in the Civil Rights movement.
