Former first lady Michelle Obama on Monday shared a photo from her trip to New York for the opening performance of the new musical “Hell's Kitchen.” The former FLOTUS attended the Broadway event on Saturday night, along with a host of A-list stars.
For the occasion, President Obama wore a belted Brandon Maxwell strapless top with a light long-sleeved shirt underneath. She also wore black cargo pants and completed the look with black pointy-toe heels. As for accessories, President Obama wore statement silver earrings and wore her hair in a long, dramatic braid.
The first image featured a group photo with Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Alicia Keys, Keyes' mother Telia Joseph, and Keyes' husband Swizz Beatz. “[Alicia Keys] You did it again!I really loved every second [‘Hell’s Kitchen’] And before you know it, you've been singing and dancing all night,” the caption of President Obama's post began.

Obama's post-White House style certainly shows the former first lady's modern approach to fashion. Her clothes she has worn at past events feature a high-fashion, modern edge that contrasts with the traditional ensembles she wore during her eight years in the White House. President Obama showed his penchant for modern style when he wore a leather look by Sergio Hudson to a screening of “American Symphony'' in New Orleans.
“Hell's Kitchen” is a new jukebox musical with a book by Christopher Diaz and music and lyrics by Alicia Keys. The show is a semi-autobiographical story of Keyes growing up in a famous neighborhood in New York City.
