Michelle Obama has an elegant outlook on style as she wears this gorgeous sleeveless purple silk crepe sheath made by Maria Pinto, the former Geoffrey Beene assistant, retailing about $900.

It's absolutely chic and stunning...and it looks like someone has been checking out this season's colors! Mrs. Obama looks like she's getting ready for business.

Well, Mrs. Obama's dashing purple sheath may not be what you have in mind for your bridesmaids but check out Vera Wang's outlook on this season's shade of, as the Pantone Report calls it, Royal Lilac.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love a not to bridesmaid-sy kinda gown. Isn't this just chic and fab?!
