Michelle Obama, Mary J. Blige Wear Matching Ensembles (PHOTOS, POLL)

With the weather finally warming up, now is as good a time as any to wear orange. Singer extraordinaire Mary J. Blige went for a stroll in London on Tuesday wearing an outfit that looked fresh from the citrus fields: an orange blazer, a yellow tee and some killer orange pumps. She also added an Hermes belt and what we assume is an Hermes Birkin bag in classic orange.

But we scratched our heads. Blige's splashes of color looked awfully familiar...

That's because we've seen Michelle Obama in a nearly identical look (and we never forget a FLOTUS outfit). Back in February, First Lady Michelle headed to California in an equally sunny ensemble: a bright orange Ann Taylor jacket, a yellow tee, jeans and some killer green heels.

Which means Mary J. must have taken a bit of bright style inspiration from the First Lady herself. So who wore it better? Check out the pics and cast your ballot below!

First of all they're not the same outfit, they're just the same colours. Secondly, the First Lady's ensemble is more business classic casual, while Mary J's is casual street chic! It's like trying to compare apples to oranges.

If you consider botched material at the crotch of jeans hot then fine by you. Maybe if her jeans weren't so "skinny" I mean tight it would look better.
