Our First Lady has no fear when it comes to the color wheel! Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet—she has worn them all in her trademark self-assured style.
Red
WHY IT WORKS FOR HER
Pow! This is one First Lady who will never fade into the background, as she proved on election night in scarlet Narciso Rodriguez (center). Patriotic, bold and (dare we say?) sexy, it's the perfect complement to Mrs. Obama's White House role
Orange
WHY IT WORKS FOR HER
This hue is as warm and bright as the First Lady herself! Whether greeting dignitaries or dropping by the Met, Mrs. Obama projects her personality in glowing shades of saffron and tangerine.
Blue
WHY IT WORKS FOR HER
At 45, Michelle Obama was the youngest First Lady to enter the White House since Jacqueline Kennedy, so it's only fitting that she would have a fresh take on a politician's go-to color. Her secret? Instead of choosing neutral shades of navy and slate, she selects pieces in eye-popping cobalt hues.
Violet
WHY IT WORKS FOR HER
Feminine and strong, violet is the perfect shade to show off Mrs. Obama's ultra-fit shape. Who can forget her workout-inspiring campaign entrance in a sleeveless Mario Pinto sheath (center) or her ultra-glamorous appearance in Peter Sorenen at this year's Kennedy Center Honors (left)?
