She’s gearing up to First Lady…

The Obamas made their first appearance for Inauguration Day with Michelle Obama looking rather regal in a golden yellow brocade coat and dress ensemble.

Yes the color is stunning on her.

However, isn’t she looking a bit too First Ladyish? Read: Dowdy?!

Not since Jackie Kennedy has anyone been excited about the style of the First Lady.

Perhaps, because not since Jackie Kennedy has a First Lady had much notable style! Let’s hope that this outfit is a respectful nod to the the day and not a representation of the Mrs’s Obama’s otherwise modern and clean chic appearance.
