There’s no shortage of times Michelle Obama has thrilled us with her sense of style. And while she did not disappoint any fashion fans last night, her State of the Union dress still caused the greatest sartorial dilemma since The Dress of 2015.
We’ve been blessed by the dazzling menagerie of color that is Michelle Obama’s wardrobe for the last eight years. And last night’s sleeveless Narcisco Rodriguez midi-dress (which sold out before the SOTU was over!) stirred an unquestionable response from the Internet: What color is it?
Most of Twitter was #TeamTangerine:
Michelle’s dress is fire. Tangerine dream.

Marigold? Tangerine? People are really debating the colour of @MichelleObama‘s #sotu dress https://t.co/ayGA2mjdTH pic.twitter.com/sthfj4yTfS

Because I know folks will be debating this: @FLOTUS dress isn’t yellow or mustard or gold. It is “marigold.” So sayeth @narcisostudio

Marigold.
Tangerine.
You tell us.
