The "First Lady Face-off" has finally occurred, sans talons, evil stares, or an indecipherable Kelly Bensimon-esque tirade. Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy met today while fashion folk strained their necks to see what each icon would choose to wear for the occasion.
MObama opted for a floral coat paired with a magenta shift dress (we haven't confirmed the designer yet, but we're banking on Thakoon) while Bruni played it safer in a light, muted grey.
This Thakoon Walking Rose Organza Dress ($1480) is similar in color, pattern, and sleeve detail to Michelle's frock, leading us to believe Thakoon is the First Lady's choice of the day.
Check out our MObama Style Guide for more ways to mimic her look.
