First Lady of Style: FLOTUS Michelle Obama reaches new fashion heights in Cambodia and Japan

Michelle Obama in Japan

First Lady Michelle Obama might seriously be in the BEST DRESSED First Lady on the planet. How chic is her stunning Kenzo dress? According to InStyle Magazine "Aside from making a bold statement, its message runs much deeper—it symbolically bridges the U.S. and Japan. Kenzo is a French fashion house that was founded by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada, but its creations today are designed by the American dream team Humberto Leon and Carol Lim. How poetic, right?"



Mrs Obama headed to Japan and Cambodia to announce a joint effort by  the United States and Japan to create a new partnership to educate girls worldwide. Both countries will invest in programs that will help girls around the world get an education. How awesome! 

She arrived in Tokyo a few nights ago and got right into the swing of things. She met with a few officials and announced the effort at a reception attended by many dignataries

On Saturday Michelle Obama will deliver a speech to Peace Corps volunteers, meet school students and also visit the renowned Ankgor Wat temple complex.

This is the last leg of the trip for the First Lady and I think we can all agree that she nailed it - from her fashion choices to her educational efforts for young women she continues to inspire us all.  Love her!
