Neon Brights

The First Lady appeared at a Let's Move event in Inglewood, California today to celebrate the future site of a Northgate Gonzalez Market. On the style front, Mrs. O layered neon brights, channeling another key color trend of the season!

Update #1: While the first lady's coat takes on a neon quality in the photo above, it's a true orange in others. Some have noted its similarity to the Ann Taylor Promenade Coat in Salsa Picante. What do you think? One thing we can say for sure: Paired with her top and trench, Mrs. O wears Michael Kors sapphire double face stretch wool crepe pants from the designer's Fall 2010 collection.

Update #2: Good eye ladies! Ann Taylor has confirmed via Twitter that the First Lady wears the Promenade Coat. This is the first time per my records that Mrs. O has worn Ann Taylor.

Mrs. O on The Tonight Show

The First Lady appeared on The Tonight Show last evening, donning a Michael Kors gold ribbed lame crewneck sweater from Resort 2012 and a J.Crew Dazzling-dots pencil skirt in mint green jacquard, first introduced in April 2009, here. (An oldie but a goodie!) On the accessories front: a vintage House of Lavande belt and pale pink pumps. Lovely!

First Lady Mrs. O and Dr. Jill Biden visited Homestead-Miami Speedway for NASCAR’s Sprint Cup finale today to support Joining Forces. After kicking off the race with the traditional "Start Your Engines," they joined volunteers at a special barbeque luncheon for military families, hosted by representatives from companies that have pledged 10,000 jobs for military service members and their spouses.

For the event, Mrs. O turned to a top by Maison Martin Margiela that features a mixed floral and selvedge print (thank you Charlene in Detroit!), seen here in 2009, paired with pinstripe trousers. Dr. Biden wore a patriotic red and blue dress by Michael Kors, seen here in 2010.

On the fashion front, Mrs. O wore a floor-length sequin skirt, paired with a black top and Peter Soronen corset belt. A stack of bracelets and jeweled necklace completed the look.

Update: The First Lady wears a black double face paillette fishtail skirt from the Michael Kors Fall 2010 collection.

Hooray for the Dynamic Duo
