Everyone was anticipating what Michelle Obama, whose personal style has been documented more than any other First Lady, would wear on election night. But when the Obama family took the stage after the President was re-elected on Nov. 6, it was apparent that Malia and Sasha Obama were also budding fashion icons. Malia wore a black top over a pleated blue skirt that was accessorized with a hot pink belt, while Sasha chose a green printed Chris Benz skirt that was previously worn by her sister. With her cropped gray cardigan, Sasha looked like a mini version of the First Lady, who wore a cropped cardigan over a magenta Michael Kors shift that she had debuted in 2010. The dress was one of several repeat outfits Obama wore on the campaign trail this year, which, according to many critics, was a decision made to show restraint and frugality.
