Michelle Obama took the stage at the Democratic National Convention on Monday evening to enthusiastically endorse presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The first lady stepped out in a Christian Siriano dress paired with Jimmy Choo’s Romy metallic pumps to give one of the most buzzed-about speeches during the first night of the convention, which runs through Thursday. President Barack Obama will appear at the convention on Wednesday evening to address the crowd.

Last week, at the Republican National Convention, Melania Trump, the wife of Republican hopeful, wore Christian Louboutin to give her remarks. Trump was accused of lifting portions of her speech from first lady Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2008. Comparisons show that Trump’s speech matched Obama’s nearly word for word at certain points.
While being known for her elegant style, the first lady is also not one to shy away from more casual shoe choices. For her best relaxed style moments, click through the gallery below.
