Pantone has named Radiant Orchid as 2014’s ‘Color of the Year’, but we’re not letting go of Emerald Green just yet. Apparently, the First Lady feels the same way.

Michelle Obama was quite a stunner at the Kennedy Centers Honors Gala, with the President beaming by her side. She doned a gorgeous jewel-toned Marchesa dress featuring beautiful draping and pleated details on the bodice. The off-shoulder number highlighted one of Michelle’s best assets — her super toned arms.

We have had a lot of outstanding looks from Michelle, but this, by far, is our favorite. The chiffon frock looks so regal on her, and she looks just perfect in green. This dress will definitely go down in history as one of the most memorable outfits of 2013.
