Michelle Obama Makes Black Anything but Basic at Invictus Games Launch

First lady of fashion! Michelle Obama helped Prince Harry launch the Invictus Games 2016 in style at the opening ceremony in Orlando on Sunday, May 8.

FLOTUS, 52, wore a tailored BCBG tunic, teamed with crisp cigarette pants. She cinched her waistline with a skinny black belt, and accessorized with dangling earrings and patent kitten heels.

Meanwhile, the prince, 31, who created in 2014 the Paralympic-style sporting event for veterans around the world to compete in, looked sharp in a blue suit, teamed with an even brighter blue tie.

Obama couldn’t say enough about her royal companion for the evening. “It is truly an honor to be here tonight to help kick off this year’s Invictus Games,” the first lady told the crowd. “I want to, of course, start by thanking Prince Harry for his outstanding leadership and for bringing the Invictus Games here to Orlando. He is truly our Prince Charming. He should be proud of his work.”
