Filed under: Celebrity Style , Hot or Not , Fashion Files

Tonight the nation watched as President Obama provided the State of the Union address, speaking to all Americans about the need for unity, strength, and resilience. His wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, as usual, stood proudly and fashionably amongst the members of Congress, supporting the President and his commitment to creating a better America.Michelle Obama's look was chic and conservative, choosing a silver sheath dress by Rachel Roy that shone against the dark suits that filled the chamber. She added a fashionable twist to the simple look with an armful of lucite bangles and sophisticated drop earrings. Her most important accessory was the black and white lapel ribbon she wore in honor of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Though there were serious issues and ideas that were addressed in tonight's speech, it's safe to say that Michelle Obama's impressive style also inspires and motivates women across the nation. Below are previous outfits for the last two State of the Union Addresses.

Last year, she rocked a purple, longsleeved dress.

At her first state of the Union address, she boldly wore a sleeveless dress, which created quite a stir on whether it was appropriate. But for us, she's fashionable, stylish and most appropriate.
