Michelle Obama's stylish trip abroad

Meeting the new Duchess
The first lady chatted with the newly minted Duchess of Cambridge while wearing a shiny, icy-blue Barbara Tfan dress and a swingy pink bolero jacket (we love the gun-metal slingback stilettos she's got on, too). But the duchess formerly known as Kate Middleton had the style that wowed the crowd: Her tan bandage-style dress by Reiss Schola sparked a fashion frenzy and sold out online almost as soon as these pictures went public.

Simply stunning

President Obama may have been touring Great Britain for political reasons, but the eyes of the fashion-forward were on Michelle Obama. Could she be able to keep up with the British prime minister's wife, Samantha Cameron, who is known for being a bit of a fashionista? How would she measure up to Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and her accessible style? Would she make a fashion faux-pas and represent the United States while wearing a little-known foreign designer's duds?

Have no fear—she looked amazing. We took a look at some of her top outfits from the trip; here, the president and first lady pose with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip before a banquet at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
