    "The dress has a bit of luminescence to it and I think it just all really worked, but she's got an amazing figure," she said of the pink dress, with a blue, bronze and gray scalloped hem, which Michelle paired with pink suede pumps from J. Crew.

    "She's so easy to dress and I loved that the arm hole was cut in and it showed her beautiful shoulders and arms," Tracy continued.

    The famed American designer was glad to see that dress worked on multiple levels.

    "[It] still had strength, but was feminine... kind of at the essence of who [Michelle] is," she told Access.

    Since the First Lady's appearance, Tracy said her label has been flooded with inquires about how people can get their hands on the dress.
