Michelle Obama's most memorable looks as first lady
The first lady has become known for a more modern, experimental style than her predecessors, and Monday night was no exception.

First lady Michelle Obama is never boring when it comes to style, and Monday at the Democratic National Convention was no exception.

Mrs. Obama wore a custom-made royal blue dress by American designer Christian Siriano to stump for Hillary Clinton at the convention's opening night in Philadelphia.
