Michelle Obama looked gorgeous in an unexpected look as she hosted the Get Out The Vote Rally in Atlanta, Georgia. The former First Lady took to the stage at the When We All Vote event on October 29 to rapturous applause as she opted for a casual fit.

Michelle accessorized with a pair of large statement-making gold earrings and a number of bracelets on her wrists.

No doubt, the audience were more than happy to listen to Michelle's message: "Vote early — get all your friends to do the same. We can move our community and country in the direction we want them to go, so let's get this done."

Meanwhile, Beyoncé put her own spin on the political garb, wearing a black double breasted jacket that hugged at her hourglass figure with strong shoulder pads, and skimmed her thighs as a dress. She paired the sultry look with black stiletto heels and returned to her classic honey blonde hair, which cascaded down her shoulders in waves. The look certainly felt distant from her bombastic Cowboy Carter looks, which have seen the singer sport platinum blonde hair and Western chic outfits.

Meanwhile, Usha Vance, wife of Donald Trump's running mate J.D. Vance, opted for a sleek red jumpsuit with a pussy bow embellishing the high neck.
