Not only does the First Lady do double-dutch jump rope, she does it in a pair of incredibly stylish red flats!

A banquet was among the festivities that the First Couple was invited to as a part of President Obama’s receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. For the occassion, the First Lady picked a pale blue evening gown and matching jacket by designer Azzedine Alaïa. The gown has a relatively simple top with double straps on each shoulder and beading around the trim, but from there it gets interesting. There is a wide sequined band separating the top from the skirt, which is composed of alternating bands of sequins and pleated fabric. Mrs. Obama accented the outfit with satin pumps, and very modern, long, dangling earrings.

Here we see the First Lady at a United We Serve event helping paint a house with Habitat for Humanity. She’s looking good in a bright blue cardigan and bright yellow shirt with a simple chain and blue jeans.
Last week the President and First Lady held an event at the White House to get kids excited about space. The First Lady looks stylish in a blue Zero + Maria Cornejo jacket with half-length sleeves and tan pants.
I realize I’m a little late with this, but on October 3, Michelle and Barack celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary. The First Lady looks quite elegant in her Resort 2008 Narciso Rodriguez knee-length black halter dress and Jimmy Choo Lantern heels. The First Lady is also sporting a bangle bracelet and striking blue clutch. Thanks to Mrs. O for the wardrobe specifics.
