  Michelle, Barack, Joe and Jill
L to R: Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Jill Biden at an inaugural train
tour stop in Baltimore Maryland.

The Inauguration weekend celebration is underway and festivities began yesterday with the Whistle Stop train tour. The First Lady to be was dressed in purple and similarly to Vice President-Elect's wife, Jill Biden's, color choice. The outerwear is what stood out with the First lady in a black Maria Cornejo custom designed oversized overcoat - a style made popular by Lanvin - with plum gloves and Jill in a leather belted black coat with a purple scarf and black suede riding boots. It was a frigid weekend so the families were quite bundled up.

Today, at the We Are One: Opening Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial, the First lady chose a camel colored ensemble by Narciso Rodriguez that reflected classic style. The old camel colored coat and skirt guise is an old New York favorite dating back to the 40s. Michelle's a-line favored silhouette was no different today with a camel colored a-line skirt, a studded black belt and a black silk top with white details at the neck causing a popping effect.

The Obama girls wore coats similar to mom's that were angular, high collared dress coats with large buttons - Malia in powder blue and Sasha in vanilla. Michelle's black lined coat added a luxe quality not often found in her attire choice but a lush detail we can all welcome.

Can we expect more luxe details in Michelle's dress choices in the days to come? Stay tuned here for Michelle Obama fashion watch.
