Vanity Fair's best-dressed trendsetter started off with a reception for newly sworn-in Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor at the White House.
Mrs. O looked chic and summery in a pleated white and black polka-dotted full skirt with matching twist-top tank, both by Jason Wu, and a light cyan blue short-sleeve cardigan.
We've seen this outfit before, when the First Lady chatted with Sarah Brown in London back in June, but this time she skipped the belt and opted for an Erickson Beamon brooch (the same one she wore last August during the Democratic National Convention).
The style icon finished her look with a stack of turquoise, silver and cream beaded bracelets and her go-to black kitten heels.

The President rocked a (universally flattering) classic red power tie, while the First Lady opted for a slightly brighter shade in a fitted sheath and coordinating red belt.
She added a stack of diamond bangles and the same black kitten heels to complete her official look.
Once again, Michelle Obama was in a rewearing mood -- she chose the same red hot dress when leaving for Moscow earlier this summer.
Recycling twice in the same day? That's a stylish and practical example we could all stand to live by!

I'm in total agreement with you. Someone needs to buy her a full length mirror! The pleated bottom dress makes her look very wide and the red dress needs a narrower belt. She also needs to buy some dress shoes that are the right width for her, as the sides of her feet are coming out of them.

Yeah and the red belt clashes with the red dress. It looks horrible, I mean look at her legs, they look like they have hair on them and their manly you know? She looks like a guy, well her legs look like guy legs :\ I mean at least she could like cover them or maybe fix the dresses they look horrible on her. The red one doesn't make her look as fat as the floral one, but thats besides the point, she needs to get a dress that shows off her curves more so that her guy legs dont matter you know?
And her feet need to not hang out of her shoes.
