Purple has certainly become Mrs. O's color of the season. Above Mrs. O is pictured as the first couple honored retiring White House butler James Ramsey on January 25th. Mrs. O wore a purple velvet cut-out jacket by Azzedine Alaia, which coordinates with the dress worn for Oprah's White House Holiday Special in December, below. For last week's event, Mrs. O paired the jacket with slouchy purple trousers and a printed blouse by Peter Pilotto (thank you, chrystelle, for identifying the latter).

First Lady Mrs. O and and Dr. Jill Biden have been in the Bronx this afternoon, visiting the James J. Peters VA Medical Center. They're expected to attend Game 1 of the 2009 World Series this evening, which will be dedicated to military heros.

Mrs. O is wearing a patterned blouse in autumnal hues, paired with black pants, while Dr. B is dressed in All-American classics. We imagine they'll change for the game?

Update: Ari, you're our hero today! Ari has confirmed that Mrs. O wears a blouse by Peter Pilotto, from the desingner's Fall 2009 collection, seen here.
