"Have you been missing Mrs. O as much as I have lately? She&amp;#39;s been gone from the photo opp circuit for almost two weeks, but she recently made a sizzling return to the spotlight in a sassy red dress that definitely makes up for it. Check out her hot look (and learn three simple style lessons!), after the jump.\nPinterestFacebookOn Wednesday afternoon, the president and first lady hosted the Medal of Freedom award ceremony at the White House, and she turned up looking characteristically chic in a color we haven&amp;#39;t seen much from her--red. She carried it off with total panache, as always, and I think we can all take away a few little rules for our own adventures in red hot dressing:\n\nChoose something tailored. I hate to say it, but a red chiffon dress with ruffles or a plunging neckline or too flowy a silhouette reminds me of only one thing: Flamenco dancers. You want to send a message that you&amp;#39;re sophisticated, not slutty. Go for something with sharp lines and a fairly conservative cut, like Michelle, to avoid looking too come-hither.\n\n\nDon&amp;#39;t over-accessorize. Red is an undeniably powerful color (just ask Valentino, the undisputed king of the scarlet frock), and it speaks volumes on its own. Cluttering up the look with a pile of necklaces or a loud printed scarf is a no-no. Follow Mrs. O&amp;#39;s cue and wear one pretty piece of jewelry, like a simple bangle or a great pair of earrings.\n\n\nMake black your go-to neutral.  I&amp;#39;ve told you guys plenty of times before that I hate when women don&amp;#39;t know what to wear with a certain color dress and just throw on a black shoe...nothing makes an outfit look clunkier more quickly. But when it comes to red, I think a black shoe totally works. Navy is a good alternative, but any other neutral--nude, a metallic, brown or beige--should definitely be avoided.\n\nCheck out some red dresses we&amp;#39;re loving at every price point:\nWhat do you guys think of Mrs. Obama&amp;#39;s look?
