Mrs. O in Carolina Herrera

The President and First Lady attended a dinner given in honor of President Obama at the Orangerie of Schloss Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, Germany on Wednesday evening. The dinner was hosted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her husband Joachim Sauer.

For the occasion, Mrs. O wore a Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2013 cocktail dress, as seen in the designer's collection here. Bows at the shoulders and statement earrings punctuate the festive, formal look.

Colorblock at the Berlin Wall memorial

The First Lady, joined by her daughters, visited the Berlin Wall Memorial at Bernauer Street in Berlin today. For the visit, Mrs. O wore a colorblock black and white top, black pants and flats. Long strands of pearls accessorized the look.

From Mountains to Jet Planes

The First Lady started her Tuesday with a visit to Wicklow Mountains National Park in Wicklow, Ireland. For the outing with her daughters, Mrs. O wore a green army jacket over a printed blouse. 

Later this afternoon, the Obamas traveled to Berlin, Germany for the next leg of their European tour. Deplaning at Tegel Airport in Berlin, Mrs. O wore flowing black pants and a draped black tunic. A studded belt completed the look.

Update: Reader Stephanie has spotted Mrs. O's jacket, the J.Crew downtown field jacket, available here.

Voyage to Ireland

The Obamas traveled to Lough Erne, Northern Ireland where the president will attend the G-8 summit this week. Leaving the White House on Sunday evening, Mrs. O wore a Tracy Reese Combo Frock in Black and Parchment Gingham, previously seen here, paired with a cropped cardigan and structured ladylike black bag.

Landing in Northern Ireland this morning, Mrs. O had changed ensembles, debuting a Burberry trench coat. First up for the official events: the First Lady joined President Obama for a speech at Waterfront Hall in Belfast, Ireland. For the occasion, Mrs. O wore a matte gold top paired with rust colored pants (seen earlier at Aldergrove International Airport). Layers of pearl and stone necklaces completed the look - a masterful neutral mix!

Later in the day, Mrs. O traveled with her daughters to Dublin, Ireland, where the family visited Trinity College, Old Library, reviewing archives that document the Obamas' Irish ancestry. For this appearance, Mrs. O updated her look by adding a printed, open vest from designer Lela Rose.

On Monday evening, Mrs. O viewed a special performance by the Riverdance company at the historic Gaiety Theatre, joined by Moya Doherty, co-founder of Riverdance, Fionnuala Kenny, the wife of the Taoiseach Enda Kenny, and Sabina Higgins, the wife of the President of Ireland, Michael Higgins. For this appearance, Mrs. O changed once more, wearing an Azalea Silk Crepe top and Navy Merino Wool blazer from Narciso Rodriguez, paired with black pants. Black pumps and earrings from Susan Hanover completed the look.

Tracy Reese Repeat

It's been a quiet week or two for Mrs. O in terms of official events and appearances. Today the First Lady returned to the public eye, attending her daughter Sasha's dance recital at the Strathmore Music Center in Bethesda, Maryland. For the event, Mrs. O wore an Indigo Floral Jersey Dress by Tracy Reese, first seen in April 2010, here, and again in June 2010, here. Mustard hued flats, gold hoop earrings and a cream clutch completed the summer look.
