The First Lady, Michelle Obama landed in Delhi's Palam Airport wearing a light blue outfit with floral patterns, by designer of Indian origin, Bibhu Mohapatra.

From the airport she accompanied President Obama to the hotel and then to the surprise of many, skipped the grand ceremonial welcome at Rashtrapati Bhavan and also the visit to Rajghat.

Michelle Obama was seen wearing a stark navy blue billowy dress with red and white flowers.

Florals get a break: The Republic Day parade, where President Obama was the chief guest, was the only time Michelle Obama was seen sans the floral look.

She decided to go for a simple black coat and red scarf to keep the damp and cold weather at bay.

Spring is in the air: For the 'at-home' reception hosted by President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan's famous Mughal Gardens, FLOTUS decided to wear an elegant but floral print again, this time the shade was pastel with a matching short coat.

Unlike last time she was in India, Michelle Obama this time stayed away from the limelight. She didn't have any engagements or public interaction of her own.
