Firstly yes - there is more to Mrs Obama than her wardrobe. But we aren’t writing for The Economist, so we’re going to stick to what we know!
She cut quite the dash in an Alexander McQueen Resort 2011 red petal print silk organza gown at a State dinner for the People’s Republic of China at the White House.

Guests included Anna Wintour and Vera Wang so we’re sure she thought long and hard about what she’d wear that evening. Red is the colour of happiness and prosperity in China; we doubt she chose a dress this colour by accident!
Similar looks by the label go for over £5,000 but unfortunately, our pockets are not as deep.
We're rather fond of these though:
 |
| Stella McCartney. £2,245 |
Love this. Can't afford it, but do love it!
 |
| Notte by Marchesa. £648. |
Silk crepe organza dress. Now we need to be invited somewhere fitting, to justify our spending this much.
