Washington's Most Influential Women Through The Ages

Michelle Obama Not that you can tell anything about Mrs. O's outfit chouce here, but this picture was too cute to resist. Clearly the future First Lady knew she'd be a leading fashionista one day.

Next stop for the future Mrs. Obama was Harvard Law School where she  was inspired to take a leap onto the political and legal scene.

Mrs. O's wedding gown is a popular style from the early '90s and also accentuates her toned arms for which she is so famous today.

Obama is typically a fan of more classic staples from J.Crew and Marchesa, so these hip designers were a great addition to her current fashion repertoire.

Brightly hued pants, shorts and denim in pastels and neons are one of spring's biggest 2012 trends!
