Michelle Obama has become one of few First Ladies since Jackie Onassis Kennedy to make a mark in the fashion world. Following President Obama’s inauguration, fitness magazines began to focus on sexy, toned shoulders and arms, fashion blogs were abuzz about Michelle Obama style dresses, and of course, her taste in jewelry has remained in the news the whole time. Even the conservative press has tried to drum up controversy over Michelle’s tendency to borrow jewelry for special events. Here are a few of the top Michell Obama Jewelry Looks:
Pearl Necklaces
Michelle Obama’s “signature” look may as well be the pearl necklace. It’s safe to say that few public figures outside of Marge and Lisa Simpson have made the pearl necklace their own like Michelle Obama has. Whether imitation or the real thing, this classy, understated look offers an approach to fashion that dazzles but does not overwhelm or come across as tacky.

Turquoise
Turquoise necklaces are a staple of the southwest, but infrequently seen in D.C. This chunky turquoise necklace is an affordable and stylish piece that can complete a sexy, casual look on any budget.
Big Statement Necklaces
The First Lady has a penchant for layering several necklaces or wearing one big statement necklace. She lets it shine on its own with minimal jewelry elsewhere, and it’s a great look with even the most formal of evening gowns.
In a time with few fashion icons that we can all agree on, Michelle Obama manages to balance sexiness, class and hipness, combining it all into a comprehensive and powerful look. If you’re going to steal style ideas from someone, you could do a lot worse than Michelle Obama.
