Michelle Obama stepped off Air Force One wearing a Bibhu Mohaptra dress with matching jacket, and might we add, looking smashing in it! By picking a designer of Indian origin, the First Lady started off her State visit on just the right note and we can’t wait to see what she wears to the parade tomorrow!

Wearing a pink skirt custom made for the occasion by Naeem Khan, the First Lady celebrated Diwali at the White House.

Anyone else getting an Manish Arora-esque vibe from the skirt?

First, it was Fern who wore Kallol Datta to the White House when meeting the First Lady. And now more recently, Michelle Obama was spotted in a Bibhu Mohapatra dress. Woot! Love. Love.

Wonder if Ms. Mallis had anything to do with the First Lady picking a designer of Indian origin. It sure seems like it.

Dinner In Delhi: Part Deux

The President and First Lady (or POTUS/FLOTUS to some) have left the country and while there was no sighting of Michelle in a sari (even though the anticipation was huge), we did have a sari sighting from Sally Roemer (wife of the U.S. Ambassador to India) at the State Dinner hosted by President Pratibha Patil. Needless to say, the handwoven saris on the President and Sonia Gandhi were much more elegant.

Michelle herself wore a floor length skirt and blouse by Indian-American designer Rachel Roy.

During the U.S. President and First Lady’s India trip, all eyes have been on Michelle hoping and wondering when she will don something Indian.

Guess the wait is over because it looks like it was Naeem Khan again at the official dinner hosted by the Prime Minister and his wife. While Michelle looked statuesque, Gursharan Kaur and Sonia Gandhi were equally lovely in their traditional woven saris.

You can catch all of Mrs Obama’s outfits Mrs-O.org, a blog that follows her fashion daily.

Update: Michelle was wearing Dries Van Noten.
