Michelle and Barack Obama at the State dinner.Nobody expects First Lady Michelle Obama to turn up in something boring, especially at a big event like a State Dinner to honor Chinese Hu Jintao. But Michelle Obama's gorgeous red floral-print Alexander McQueen gown is getting raves from fashionistas everywhere for its color and silhouette.Maggy London Dress

Love the look as much as I do? I thought I had seen a similar print before (oversized floral with dark tones of black and red) and here I found a pretty Maggy London cocktail dress (Buy Direct) that would be great to wear as a wedding guest or any other special event. Best of all, it prices in at under $150 for us women with real budgets. (Photo Credit: Left, Win McNamee/Getty Images; Right, Nordstrom)

(1) Image Consultant William Cane says:

I respectfully disagree about this particular dress. Even first ladies make style mistakes, as this image demonstrates. At our image clinic at manhattanmakeovers.com we explain why red is one of the most overrated and least effective colors, especially for someone with dark skin tone. We also explain why prints like this test poorly for both business and social wear.

Mrs. Obama was resplendant in that dress!
Haven’t been excited about the First Lady’s attire since Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy.
She is a real winner!
