Michelle Obama's winning style: steal her style

Hot on the heels of the U.S presidential election we have to admit a few of us were glued to our news feeds for reasons other than who would be elected the 44th president of the United States of America.

That's right, many women world over paid extra close attention to the election trail to keep up with first lady Michelle Obama's impeccable sense of fashion and she did not disappoint!

We decided the first lady deserves homage for her great sense of style, so we compiled some of our top picks from her years as the woman behind the man and included some of our favorite finds to help you steal her style.

                                       

                                       

                                            

                                      

                                  

                                 
           
                        

                        

Mrs Obama is definitely not afraid to mix it up with print and bright colors and she loves an contrast with a ballet flat.

Trending - Sheer dressing on the red carpet CFDA Fashion Awards

Sheer dressing is still a hot trend as we saw at the 2012 CFDA awards red carpet recently. One of our favorite looks was Zoe Saldana in Prabal Gurung. Zoes' sheer dress with geometric cutouts is modern and edgy. We love that she kept her styling simple opting for minimal jewelry, dramatic cat eyes, neutral lips and an updo. A class act all the way.

Jessica Stam embraced a number of trends in her sapphire blue Jason Wu sheer dress with sheer lace detail underneath. We love this look for a different take on sheer dressing as we've seen so much black sheer dresses. Her gothic hair however leaves us scratching our heads.

Doutzen Kroes was another beauty who stepped out in a sheer style. She wore a Sophie Theallet halterneck gown with polka dot detail. Her accesories were simple and we love her cat eye make up and pink lips.

Enjoy!
