Designer and InStyle contributor Rachel Roy stopped by the opening of Valentino‘s Rodeo Drive store in her own design—a watercolor silk one-shoulder dress just seen on Michelle Obama! “I’m a big believer in one shoulder for cocktail,” Roy told InStyle.com. “It’s one of my favorite styles.” The First Lady agrees! “She looked amazing. I love when someone wears a nude tone, it elongates,” the designer said of Obama’s appearance in the dress at the Palacio do Planalto in Brazil earlier this month. Roy then added, “Her arms were beautiful.” Click through the gallery to see our favorite looks from Rachel Roy’s latest collection!

Jennifer Lawrence likes to wear her fair share of LBDs (honestly, who doesn’t?), though we’d like to take a moment to point out that this young star looks great in color—any color. The Hunger Games leading lady headed to last year’s SAG Awards in hot pink Oscar de la Renta, hit last week’s Berlin premiere of her action movie in red Marchesa, shimmered in gold Prabal Gurung at the Los Angeles Games premiere, stepped out in forest green Calvin Klein in New York last night, presented at the People’s Choice Awards in electric blue Viktor & Rolf, and spoke with David Letterman in navy-violet Altuzarra. For someone who usually likes neutrals, bright hues suit her well! Tell us: What’s your favorite color to wear?
