Michelle Obama's State Of The Union Dress 2013 Is A Glittery Sheath (PHOTOS)

PHOTOS: Michelle Obama Glows At The 2013 State Of The Union Address

Michelle Obama looked absolutely stunning during President Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday. FLOTUS literally glowed in her two-toned Jason Wu sheath, complete with a glittering maroon skirt, black detailed neckline and an Alexis Bittar floral brooch. Did we say she looked stunning?

Of course, we had great expectations for Mrs. O's ensemble -- her blue Barbara Tfank number from last year's speech set quite a high sartorial bar for 2013. But even though we're fans of the look, the first murmurings on Twitter seemed to veer on criticism.

"Michelle Obama is in a stunning dress but appears ready for a cocktail party rather than a speech," Carol Joynt, Editor at Large for The Washingtonian, tweeted.

"Michelle Obama dressed for where she'd rather be tonight #SOTU," added comedian Abbi Crutchfield.

While we agree that Michelle's dress could do double-duty, we think it was a lovely choice of formal wear for the big night. But what about you? Take a look at the photos below and tell us what you think!
