The first lady is in New York City this evening, attending a Democratic National Committee fundraiser with Dr. Jill Biden and actress Sarah Jessica Parker. Earlier in the evening, Mrs. O attended a dinner hosted by designer Donna Karan. In honor of her host, Mrs. O is wearing a knee-length, draped halter dress from Donna Karan Collection, seen here (as a gown), accented by a chunky statement necklace. Dr. Biden is equally chic in a figure-hugging frock, adorned with a Mrs. O-inspired brooch.

Mrs. O has hit the campaign trail! The first lady began her day with a stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, speaking at a campaign event for Senator Russ Feingold. There she donned a pink ponte knit sleeveless dress by Talbots, accessorized with a St. Erasmus necklace, first seen at the White House Correspondents dinner in 2009.

Later this afternoon, Mrs. O traveled to her home city of Chicago, where she supported U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias at a campaign fundraiser. Mr. Giannoulias will face Republican Congressman Mark Kirk, in the November election for President Obama's former Senate seat. For her second appearance of the day, Mrs. O changed into a black top and textured skirt, worn with her signature Alaia belt at the waist.
