Michelle Obama Took Over Pop Culture This Week

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Michelle Obama: First Lady, former lawyer, mother of teens, pop culture icon. The FLOTUS may be many things, but this week, she seemed particularly intent to live up to that "pop culture" qualifier.

In the span of just a few days, she appeared on The Voice (NBC), NCIS (CBS), and amongst Storm Troopers in the White House. These are three of the most popular franchises in the United States, and MObama gotta catch 'em all. Take a look at her slew of black-and-white outfits, which were perfectly professional even while going for full entertainment value, below:

First, MObama stopped by The Voice on Monday, May 2nd. She appears to have worn white, wide-leg pants by Narciso Rodriguez, one of her favorite designers, while Dr. Jill Biden chose a leather flared dress and blue heels. They appeared on the reality series to talk Joining Forces, which connects the administration to military families. (See more of her efforts on Instagram.)

NCIS also wrote Michelle's Joining Forces campaign into the script for Tuesday night's episode. In the FLOTUS' scene, she invites Anne to be part of a roundtable on the initiative.

"We know the sacrifices our military families are making, and it doesn't go unnoticed. Nor do the sacrifices of our veterans," she tells them.

Dance. Or dance not. There is no try. #MayThe4thBeWithYou https://t.co/9g1JUHV1n5

Finally, the First Lady mom-danced to "Uptown Funk" with R2-D2 and Storm Troopers.

All she needed was one ABC show cameo to make her pop cultural sweep complete. We'll fill in outfit credits as they come in.
