The first lady wore a stunning, embellished frock for her arrival at Palacio do Alvorada in Brasilia, Brazil on Saturday.
Update: And who is a true master of embroidery and embellishment? Naeem Khan, of course! This breathtakingly gorgeous dress hails from Naeem Khan's Spring 2011 collection.

Chic x Beauty x Grace + kids dressed in Americana= Picture Perfect
Wow Mrs.O fashion at its BEST!!!! Sasha and Mala's Americano style is so kool
One of the best picture of Mrs Obama and her daughters. Class and gracious with the dress in perl.
I would prefer to see the girls wearing something more formal .
Woaw, Woaw, and Woaw ! She is so....Woaw ! And the girls to !
Stunning! A perfect dress for the First Lady in Brazil.
TOP 5 MRS. O LOOKS SO FAR!
They all look fabulous and have such wonderful energy. What a fabulous First Family to send as our ambassadors and representatives. Love them!
Love this embroidered dress! I wish I could have it.
Mrs. O looks amazing in this dress and the dress looks really good on her! Like the kitty heels, too.
This dress is stunning! I'm especially thrilled because it fits Mrs. O so perfectly.
The detail on this dress is amazing, and so is Sasha's expression! I wonder what that great big gasp was all about? Too cute.
Wow. Just perfection. Amazing embellishment.
What a beautiful dress! Mrs. Obama looks amazing. Great outfits on Malia and Sasha. Like the mixture of patterns of the blue outfit. Very cute.
How beautiful! I am dying to know where I can find the gorgeous bronze shoes she has on for her arrival in that magnificent dress! Anyone have any idea which designers she likes for her shoes?
@ foofoo: Those gold shoes are Jimmy Choo lantern shoes, I believe, according to a post from way back. She has them in black too, I've noticed. I like them too! :o)
This is a fabulous dress and the shoes are great, too..Mrs. O has worn Jimmy Choo many times so
that would be my guess for the shoes.

This dress is so exquisitely above and beyond!
Absolutely Beautiful! Love the girls outfits also.
I think this is one of the best looks I've seen for Mrs. O. I love the dress and she looks wonderful in it!
I think the dress is a Naeem Kahn Dress from the Spring 2011 Collection. It is style #13. Here is the link:

Mrs. T--or anyone--
Who is the designer of this STUNNING dress? Gorgeous pictures of Mother and Daughters...I feel especially proud because I have some Brazilian + Portuguese roots...
Sasha's little ruffled skirt is killing me. So adorable.
They are all stunning...all dressed appropriately! Just great, wow!!! speechless
Absolutely stunning

Much better without the red necklace!
Aren't the shoes her Jimmy Choo Lantern pumps?
Dress is described at Naeem Khan as "Natural linen with gold embroidery". Only in some lights do the geometrically shaped gold paillettes show.
gorgeous! the first lady looks lovely. i do think though that she has recently had done something to her face. i compared with your blog's very first entry to be sure and it is very clear that her face is changed now. out of respect for her, i learnt to swallow her straightened hair, and i guess i will accept this now.
Gorgeous !
Michele elegantérrima e nossa Presidenta simplinha demais.
The detail in that dress is simply stunning and Mrs O looks fabulous in it.
I love Sasha!!! I really ike the way she is wearing the stars and Malia has got on the stripes. America's kids. Rock on.
Michelle had better lock her jewelry cases up....Miss Sasha seems to have developed quite a love for bangles and bling!
Love picture #2. At the end of the day the FLOTUS is still "mommy". :)
I think this dress is a little too formal (for my taste) for daywear. But the cut and fit are fantastic on Mrs. O.
My word, my goodness. The First Lady has done it, she's absolutely done it. That dress is divine.
What an amazing dress with such detail. The shoes are icing on the cake. The girls as usual look so cute.
Beautiful! She and the children
i think it's my favorite dress yet! we need details!
OMG! I am speechless. BEAUTIFUL. Just beautiful!
@iris - i dont think she's had anything done to her face. she has good genes and this hairstyle shows off her features.
Sombody ... quick ... call ... my ... dressmaker! *dead faint*
I hope this dress ends up in the Smithsonian along with other icon First Ladies' gowns.
I should have know. Khan and Kors look best on her. This is absoultely beautiful. One of her best.
Naeem Khan + Mrs. O = Perfection!
This dress is my favorite look thus far on this trip. It brings out the our Michelle's skin tone. From the sleeveless dress that showcase those well toned arms to the bangles that highlights her graceful hands, this dress is a winner! The sleek hair-do and the flawless make up makes this one dynamic look. Oh, the Jimmy Choos is just icing on the cake!
The girls look as sweet as ever. They surely have their own distinct fashion sense. I appreciate that FLOTUS keeps them looking like young ladies. And how precious is Sasha. It was stated that she's happy to see her mom because they rode seperately in the motorcade. It looks like Malia is getting such a kick out of her.
Just adorable!
That is one of the most stunning dresses I have ever seen the First Lady wear! I would have guessed Naem Khan, as well! My favorite dress is the one Mrs. Obama wore at the State Dinner for the Indian Prime Minister. This is the close second!
As I've said many times before, Mrs. Obama is an unbelievably beautiful woman
who represents our country so well. I am so proud that she represets us all, not just in the fashion sense [indisputably!], but as the intelligent woamn that she is!
Love, Love, Love!!!! The embroidery is fantastic!!!
I really love this dress. It is pretty on its own, but it is particularly lovely on the First Lady.
