After the controversy that erupted from her election night dress (many said she resembled a life-sized lava lamp), Michelle Obama opted for a less busy, but no less bold red sheath dress for her first visit to the White House this week. The dress was by Maria Pinto, no surprise there, and was received in a much more positive light than her Narciso decision.
If you approve of the future First Lady's White House look, we suggest Vivienne Westwood's Cowl Red Dress ($542) which is similar in shape and tone to Michelle's sheath.
Below are some more budget-conscious options to help you mimic the look:
