The first lady stepped out in a white floral lace dress featuring raised, appliqué-style motifs with large leaf and petal patterns structured across the body.

The long sleeves were semi-sheer, with bold floral cutouts set against a fine mesh ground that allowed her skin to show faintly between the designs.

Around the neckline, a ruffled lace overlay gave the look a soft, flowing silhouette that felt both modest and undeniably elegant, perfectly suited to the formal, church-style occasion.

The finishing touch, however, was the accessory that stopped everyone mid-scroll: a bright yellow wide-brimmed hat with a sheer, organza-like brim and a looped ribbon detail on the left side.

The vivid yellow sat in sharp contrast against the all-white ensemble, giving the look a sophisticated edge.

Beyond her outfit, the first lady extended warm wishes to the newlyweds.

In her message, she prayed that their union would be "anchored in love, strengthened by faith and enriched by a lifetime of shared dreams, purpose and happiness."
