Plus, a look back at Michelle Obama's looks from her time in Cuba and Argentina.
While Malia and Sasha both opted for the trusty dress-and-sneakers combo.
"That pressure I think [has] historically always been harder on African-American women than just about any other women."
Well, it was either him or those mile-long legs of hers.
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.
Michelle Obama's had a busy few days balancing family activities and official state visits--but obviously, she managed to dress the part perfectly for all of it.
The Obamas stepped out yesterday in their Easter Sunday best to attend a service at St. John's Episcopal Church.
Inaugural style went beyond just one gown: from the First Family to the celebrities, everyone brought their A-game to D.C. this weekend.
It's no secret that the First Family has a thing for J.Crew. All three of the Obama ladies--Michelle, Malia and Sasha--wore at least one item from the retailer this Inauguration weekend. But just because they live in the White House doesn't mean the Obamas get special treatment from the brand.
Everyone has been noticing and commenting on how much the Obama girls have grown up and matured in the last four years. While they look like a blend of their parents, their style inspiration clearly comes from one source: their mom, Michelle.
Michelle Obama has worn Thom Browne before, but as Thom Browne is a relatively obscure and fashion forward designer (Savannah Guthrie admitted on TODAY that she'd never heard of him), fashion peeps (us included) are already fired up about her fashion choice.
When the Obama family took the stage, victorious, on election night this past November, everyone took note not just of Michelle Obama and what she was wearing but also of her daughters: Sasha and Malia had grown up! The New York Times' Cathy Horyn tweeted, “The Obama girls might be the fashion news tonight–full skirts, bright color, cute.” And when WWD asked designers to submit sketches for Michelle Obama's inauguration look, most submitted designs for her daughters as well. Should we be concered with the Obama girls' fashion?
My heart melted a litte bit when I saw this photo of the Obama family at the National Christmas Tree lighting, didn't yours? Once I stopped melting, I had to figure out who made Malia's coat because, also, so cute, right?
The Obama family's holiday weekend was full of fun (and cute fashion moments) for the ladies of the White House. {HuffPo} Want more Grace Coddington?

The Kardashians may have one cover of Cosmo UK's December issue, but we're more into the One Direction version. The lads, most barely over 18, are Cosmo's Men of the Year. {PopCrush} Michelle Obama's daughters have been taking serious style notes from their mom: Not only did Sasha Obama wear a totally adorable Chris Benz skirt on election night, but it was a hand-me-down from older sister Malia. {Lucky} These are apparently supposed to be never-before-seen 'candid' photos of Lana del Rey, snapped by the songstress's sister.

Last night, Barack Obama won re-election--and we won four more years of gushing and gawking over how adorable the Obama family is. As they laughed and hugged onstage, we couldn't help but look back on the night four years ago when Obama was first elected--and Michelle, Malia and Sasha stole the hearts of fashion people everywhere.
We know it's New York Fashion Week, but we're starting to wonder where the fashion shows really were the past few days: here or in North Carolina? The FLOTUS looked absolutely stunning once again last night on the last day of the Democratic National Convention. While her husband took the podium, she wore a well-tailored burgundy floral-printed dress by up-and-coming African-American designer Laura Smalls with an Alexis Bittar flower pin on her lapel. Smalls is staging a small fashion week presentation on Tuesday and we bet her PR just got a lot more RSVPs.
The Obamas put on their Easter best and took a family stroll yesterday to attend services at St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington DC. And they
