Am I the only one not hip to the Flotus nickname? At any rate, Michelle Obama rocked this $685 Marc by Marc Jacobs Simone Stripe Dress for her trip to Brazil:
The vibrant striped silk sleeveless frock has a scoopneck and measures about 33 inches from the waist.
As with anything Michelle Obama touches, the dress is currently sold out at Saks.
Get the dress for $685 at Stylebop:

Or you can get a shorter version of the dress for $419 from My Theresa:
