The fashion world is abuzz with what the stylist Mrs O will be wearing during her three-day visit to India.

All eyes were on her as the first lady landed at Delhi's Palam Airport on Sunday morning. And she got everyone talking about her outfit by Indian designer Bibhu Mohapatra.

Hand in hand with Barack Obama, Michelle was wore a knee-length dress with geometric prints and blue floral motifs. She put on a matching coat with black pumps and as usual she carried it with grace.

The New-York based designer, who is originally from Odisha, dressed Michelle earlier for the Jay Leno show.

Mohapatra tweeted, hours after the Obamas arrived in New Delhi, “FLOTUS arrives in #India wearing @BibhuMohapatra @TIME @nypost @TOIfashion @nytimes.”

She has often worn creations by India-origin designers like Naeem Khan and Rachel Roy.

Any bets on what sort of Indian-inspired ensemble will Michelle wear for the state dinner at Rashtrapati Bhavan later today?
