The internet fairly exploded over Michelle Obama’s smokin’ outfit at last night’s State of the Union address. FLOTUS wore a grey blazer/skirt combo by Jewish designer Michael Kors (his mother was model Joan Kors), repping American fashion and the Tribe in one fell swoop.

Fans of the outfit couldn’t help but notice that Julianna Margulies’ (another MOT) character had worn the exact same oufit on “The Good Wife.” Obama/Florrick 2016, anyone?
