Francis’s touch down in Washington, D.C. may have been the biggest
thing in the news Tuesday evening, but personally, I couldn’t take my
eyes off off
Michelle Obama, and the flaw-free outfit she’d chosen to wear for the highly photo-documented occasion.
To
greet the Pope at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, Obama, joined by her
husband, Barack, and daughters, Malia and Sasha, dressed as
appropriately and as lovely as we’ve come to expect. Her dress, by
devout Catholic designer Carolina Herrera, was a baby blue,
fit-and-flare, wool crepe number, with short sleeves, a ‘60s-esque high
cowl neck, and matching skinny belt. (A
similar version, here, retails for $2,290—so, maybe an even more appropriate option, as far as
this pope is concerned, anyway, would’ve been something a bit more affordable!)She accessorized with metallic silver pumps, easy waves, and matching powder blue nail polish.

Sasha, 14, and Malia Obama, 17, kept things conservative yet cute in
black tops and midi-skirts. Sasha’s, a pleated, pastel colorblock
version,
is by Kate Spade. (Fun fact: Sasha’s real first name is actually
Natasha! Mind = blown.)
