In the last year of her role, she has taken more fashion risks than ever—demonstrating her sartorial prowess and evolution. High-fashion silhouettes and bold hues have been on the agenda, as well as embracing unexpected brands. She wore an industry favorite at the Presidential Medal of Freedom Ceremony on Tuesday in the East Room of the White House, opting for none other than Belgian designer Dries Van Noten. Her floral print silk dress is another one of her signatures, as well as one of the brand's trademarks because of its silk robe-inspired shape.

Gemstone drop earrings played on the regal purple hues in her dress—a piece she wore once before, last November at the World Innovation Summit for Education in Qatar: FAISAL AL-TAMIMI/AFP/Getty Ellen DeGeneres, Diana Ross, Cicely Tyson, and Robert De Niro were among the 21 honorees at Tuesday's festivities. They even participated in a mannequin challenge: the second in the White House after FLOTUS completed one of her own with Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
