Michelle Obama cut a stylish figure in a head-to-toe plum suit by Sergio Hudson as she joined former First Ladies Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush at Joe Biden‘s inauguration on Wednesday.
The 57-year-old, who was joined by her husband, former President Barack Obama, wore a floor-length coat over a form-fitting turtleneck and wide-leg pants — all in the same deep shade.
Mrs. Obama topped off the look with a matching belt featuring a large gold buckle that pulled her look together. Her dark hair was worn down in loose curls, and she had on a black face mask that matched her heels and leather gloves.

Purple appeared to be the color of the day as Mrs. Clinton, 73, donned a bright purple suit and matching scarf. To keep warm, the former secretary of state also wore a dark wool coat over her suit.
Like Mrs. Obama, she had on black mask that matched her gloves and shoes.
While they opted for pants, Mrs. Bush, 74, wore a powder blue coat with a dark lapel over a slate-gray dress and sheer tights. She accessorized the look with a long pearl necklace, a light gray mask, and flats.
The top button of her coat was buttoned, and she carried a small gray leather handbag that perfectly matched her dress.

Outgoing President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania skipped the inauguration and flew to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, but she got in one last sartorial look at the White House.
She was seen boarding Marine One on the South Lawn in a somber all-black outfit that featured a Chanel jacket priced at over $5,600, a pair of $795 Christian Louboutin heels, and a black crocodile Hermes Birkin worth more than $70,000.
Outgoing Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen, 64, chose to stay and watch Biden be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States, but she took a cue from Mrs. Trump and wore all black.
