Michelle Obama caused quite a controversy last week when she wore an Alexander McQueen gown to her husband's meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao. Fortunately, last night's made-in-the-USA look was nothing but chic. The first lady wore a simple Rachel Roy design for the State of the Union Address and kept her accessories understated. Drop earrings, a wrist full of bangles and a black-and-white ribbon in support of congresswoman Giffords complemented the neutral fitted sheath.

Readers what do you think of Michelle Obama's outfit? Do you think she should only wear American designers?

Yesterday, Mrs. O, the blog devoted to Michelle Obama's fashion, posted this pic of the first lady rocking Moschino at the President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition. Even if you disagree with her husband's politics, you can't deny the woman manages to look fierce while jumping rope. If you want to get her look on a less-than-presidential budget, here are two pieces from Anthropologie that fit the bill:
