For the first time since Tuesday's historic election, Barack and Michelle Obama stepped out on Saturday for a three-hour dinner at their favorite Italian restaurant in Chicago.

Michelle looked especially elegant in a knee-length black coat, tied at the waist, and knee-high black boots. Her hair was pulled back into a low bun, and she wore large, possibly onyx, earrings. See how she looked below.
