Undeterred by the stir caused by her red-and-black Narciso Rodriguez election night dress, Michelle Obama chose to wear a camel-and-black color-block coat and skirt by the New York designer for the "We Are One" concert in Washington today. The graphic style made her stand out against the marble edifice as she and Barack Obama descended the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. She looked strong, elegant and above all modern.

when attending an event at a place of solemn significance.

7. I like that a lot better than the Black Widow dress.

Just my personal opinion.... it's the only dress I just didn't like that I've seen her wear.

11. I really like this outfit. She should have left it for the

inauguration!!.. She looked stunning yesterday!!

12. But cold! I can't believe she wore a skirt and regular shoes

At least boots would have kept her a little warmer. And tights.

Very classy.
