Today

was a monumental day for American democracy as Joe Biden was sworn in as the

nation’s 46th president.

It

was also the perfect occasion for Michelle Obama, to remind everyone that she

may not live in the White House but she’s the “forever first ladyâ€.

Obama has never been one to shy away making a stylish entrance and, in fact, spent much of her tenure as first lady fielding criticism of her fashions from people who were used to more muted and, dare we say boring, looks.

Well,

four years past the critical eyes that comes with being married to the man

seated in the Oval Office, Michelle returned to place where it all began,

proving that she is, and will always be, a fashion killa *insert A$AP Rocky lyrics

here*

Obama

donned a purple (or is it plum) pantsuit with by black designer Sergio Hudson

of South Carolina.

It

was the style moment we deserved after four years of waiting with bated breath

for the departure of ‘He Who Shall Not Be Named’.

Even former President George W. Bush knows the best part of any inauguration is running into his bestie, Michelle.
