Michelle Obama in a Classic Black Michael Kors Shift for Her Official Portrait...

Michelle Obama's first official portrait as first lady was released by the White House Friday. She appears in a Michael Kors black shift dress (yay!) and pearls in the photo, taken in the famed home's "Blue Room." Michael Kors is one of my very faves, and he's a great addition to the first lady's style repertoire IMO. I previously suggested another Michael Kors dress I thought the First Lady might look great in (a floral print) dress from his Fall 2008 collection seen here in an earlier post. Wouldn't she look fabulous in that dress this Spring?

(notice the identical bodice and piping detail around the lower waist/hipline)
