Michelle Obama in Rodarte, Cushnie et Ochs and Marc Jacobs

The FLOTUS Michelle Obama has scored the trifecta of holiday style this year. Coming strong off the back of her Vera Wang dress last week, Mrs O has stepped up to the holiday events calendar with a string of cracking outfits. Let's start with the Hanukkah celebration to which she wore that fantastic blue shimmery, sleeveless Rodarte frock with the full skirt and Jimmy Choo low courts as is her signature style. Just enough glamour for the season, just enough personality for her. Perfectly nuanced.
She followed that up with a sensational bottle green Cushnie et Ochs dress with a fabulous neckline detail and some gold spangle in her shoe. That was for the 'Christmas in Washington' taping.
And then yesterday Michelle and Bo the dog visited the Children's National Medical Centre, dressed in the most elegant Marc Jacobs ensemble. I love the plum colour and the psychedelic dots. Fab stuff.
Which was your favourite? I am going for the Christmas green of the Cushnie dress. You?
