Official Portrait

A new term, a new official portrait - and Mrs. O's bangs have been captured for posterity! No word on the dress just yet.

Many will recall that Mrs. O wore sleeveless Michael Kors for her first official portrait in 2009, here.

Update: Per WWD, Mrs. O wears custom Reed Krakoff in her official portrait.

Statement Accessories

As part of Black History Month, Mrs. O hosted a White House workshop to celebrate the film Beasts of the Southern Wild today. On the fashion front, Mrs. O's look was defined by her accessories. Wearing a basic black top and pants, the first lady accessorized with a layered mixed stone statement necklace and gold hoop earrings.

Update: Mrs. O wears woven gold earrings with gunmetal spikes and an 'Elements' druzy stone necklace, both by Alexis Bittar.

State of the Union

In the audience of President Obama's State of the Union address this evening, Mrs. O wears a Jason Wu custom red organza tweed flounce dress from the designer's Pre-Fall 2013 collection. An Alexis Bittar lucite flower pin in warm grey and gold at the shoulder accessorizes the look.

It seems Mrs. Obama is in a Jason Wu kind of mood to start 2013. The back to back to dresses, for the inaugural ball and now the State of the Union, certainly furthers the affiliation between Mrs. Obama and the young designer.

I'm reminded of this article from a few weeks back:

Update (2/13): In this Official White House Photo by Pete Souza, Mrs. O can be seen wearing a coordinating red coat.
