While it was a charming American moment the debate turned quickly to fashion for Michelle as she made a fabulous comeback with a stunning red dress for the occasion.

Lynn Edwards noted the debate at the time and the UK Observer gave props to the future First Lady, "After opting for a controversial black and red number by New York designer Narciso Rodriguez on Election Night, Michelle Obama visited the White House in a conservative (if snug) red dress by Maria Pinto.
The designer is a Chicago favorite and creator of the blue dress Ms. Obama wore at the Democratic National Convention and the purple sheath she wore the night her husband claimed the Democratic nomination.
