Even though a major debate ensued after the First Lady stepped out in $540 Lanvin low tops to volunteer at a food bank (right), fashionistas from both ends of the spectrum are still intrigued and inspired by Michelle Obama's style choices.

If the price tag for Michelle's designer metallic sneakers is a bit too high, check out this shimmery style by PF Flyers. The "Vere" retails for less than $90, so you'll even have enough money leftover to buy one of Obama's J.Crew cardigans. Heads up, the yellow version she's wearing in the picture is already sold out online. Not a big surprise. It was a week ago! But, we must say, we're loving it in lavender.
