As New York Times fashion critic Vanessa Friedman pointed out on Twitter, Michelle also rocked a striking Narciso Rodriguez gown in 2008, for her husband's historic election night victory, so there's a nice "symmetry" to her final State of the Union fashion choice.

At the address, Michelle sat next to an empty seat, which was left unoccupied as a tribute to "the victims of gun violence who no longer have a voice," according to a statement released by the White House on Sunday.
Michelle is known for her bold State of the Union styles. In January 2015, she wore a striking grey Michael Kors suit with a zip-up top that was identical to an outfit worn by Julianna Margulies' character, Alicia Florrick, on The Good Wife.
