Bold Moves

The First Lady made a surprise visit to Alice Deal Middle School in Washington, D.C. today, where she showed off her dance moves for a "Let's Move" fitness event. Has Mrs. O mastered Beyonce's "Move Your Body" dance perhaps? See more a few posts down for the official video. 

On a fashion note, Mrs. O appears to be wearing the same silk neon Zero + Maria Cornejo blouse we first saw her in this March, while traveling in South America, here. A silver belt and stack of lucite bangles (Alexis Bittar?) changed up the look. Has anyone else noticed that Mrs. O's palette has gone a bit flouro as of recent? Love it.

Update: OMG ... yes! Even better in video!

One more from reader Mincey. Here, Beyonce surprises students from Harlem PS 161. Incredible!

Must Read: Maria Cornejo

I thoroughly enjoyed this new Huffington Post interview with designer Maria Cornejo -- one of Mrs. O's favorites, as we know! -- and think you will too. Maria Cornejo offers such a refreshing point of view in the world of fashion.

Mrs. O and Dr. B appeared in Columbus, Ohio to speak during a USO and Sesame Street event honoring National Guard members. On the fashion menu? A navy blue suit and asymmetrical top! It seems both Dr. B and Mrs. O gravitate toward this neckline as of late. 

Update: Mrs. O wears a Zero + Maria Cornejo SS11 Ampe Top in the Hessian Print.

And They're Off

Leaving Santiago, Mrs. O wears head to toe Zero + Maria Cornejo, including the Nya Top in Neon Silk Charmeuse, the Cage Belt in Matt Armadillo and the Boy Pants in Stretch Cupro.

Lovely Ladies

Prior to the Cinco de Mayo festivities, the First Lady Mrs. O and Dr. B joined the president for the signing of the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act -- a bill that will provide for soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and their families.

For the signing, Mrs. O and Dr. B each turned to their own take on professional dress. The first lady chose a Zero + Maria Cornejo geometric print dress (first seen last summer in Pittsburgh), paired with a black patent leather belt, drop earrings and open toe heels. Dr. B wore a pale blue skirt suit with a slight ruffle at the sleeve, paired with pearls earrings, a beaded necklace and netural heels.
