Speaking at the 40th anniversary of the National Partnership for Women & Families on Thursday (and hugging organization president Debra Ness, above), the First Lady wore a melon-hued dress with textured detail through the skirt. Metallic open-top heels and Phillips Frankel amazonite and ruby earrings complete the look. What a beautiful summer palette.

Update: Mrs. O wears a Rachel Roy coral silk jacquard dress with wave pleat embroidery.

Enjoy a closer look at these gorgeous earrings, first worn when Mrs. O visited Buckingham Palace late last month.

The earrings are truly beautiful, but for $2,570 they are definitely out of my league.

Lovin' this look from head to toe. I like the swept back hair, the yummy color of the dress and the texture of it. And lets not forget the wonderful shoes! The earrings are icing! gorgeous!

I hope Michelle keeps this casual updo, I like it better than the more severe pulled back updo.

Our First Lady's skin tone is just so remarkable in this color. Is there no color she cannot wear? The earring are simply beautiful! The dress is absolutely perfect. She really is a pleasure to watch. She just glows.....I am just so proud of her.

It's great to have a close-up of the accessories that Mrs. O wears. Thank you!

I think the sleek, fittted top + textured skirt is a winning combination on Mrs. O. She looks fabulous!
