The controversial gown
The Alexander McQueen gown Michelle wore in January for the state dinner drew outrage from American designers. It also led to rumors of a rift between Ikram Goldman and her loyal client.

Showing off her team’s hard work
It takes a lot of hours in the White House gym to carry off a one shoulder gown. But if you’ve got it, flaunt it in the perfect designer look. Michelle’s style advisers helped select this dress by Peter Sorenon for the state dinner in May. It was hailed by fashion critics as yet another elegant and edgy look that’s come to define Michelle’s White House reign of style.
