Michelle Obama and (Duchess) Kate Middleton Meet! Fashion World Does Not End

OMG! The First Lady and Kate Middleton (the Duchess of Cambridge, if we’re using her proper title) were in the same room! Wearing clothes! Now we know why the Rapture was postponed.

Earlier today Michelle Obama chatted with the Duchess at Buckingham Palace in a blue floral Barbara Tfank dress and contrasting pink bolero jackets. The newlywed stuck to her classic high street (British translation: you don’t have to be royalty to afford it) style in a $340 dress from Reiss that’s already sold out online. {Fashionista}

If history repeats itself, Reiss could be on track to sell as many of those dresses as they can get in stock: the white dress Middleton wore in her engagement photos reportedly sold at a rate of one per minute after being identified.

We think Prince William and President Obama were wearing clothes too, but no one has noticed so we can’t be sure.

As we speak, Michelle Obama is enjoying a state dinner at Buckingham Palace, where she and the President will stay for two nights – in the same suite that Prince William and Kate Middleton used after they were married (we’ll let you draw your own connections there). There aren’t pictures available yet, but the First Lady looked positively stunning in a white halter neck gown, and we’re sure Duchess Catherine won’t disappoint either.

Update: the photos are in! View the white Tom Ford gown Michelle Obama wore to the state dinner at Buckingham Palace and the items we found that will let you steal the style.
