Underneath the coat, FLOTUS wore a matching short-sleeved dress with an A-line silhouette, also by Wu, which was revealed earlier in the day while she and her husband, Barack Obama, waited for Donald and Melania Trump for tea at the White House ahead of the inauguration.

She posted a video of “one last walk through the People’s House” with the family dogs, Bo and Sunny.
