Meet Edith Childs, The State Of The Union's Real Style Star

Sparkly pillbox hats FTW.

Move over, Michelle Obama. We're even more fired up about this State of The Union look than we are about yours.

Edith Childs, a longtime Barack Obama supporter from South Carolina who is responsible for creating his 2007 campaign chant, "Fired up, ready to go," had the honor of sitting in the first lady's box for the president's final State of the Union address in Washington, D.C. Tuesday night.

The proud owner of many fabulous hats, Childs set the Internet abuzz with her outfit choice for the occasion. Clad in a perfectly coordinated gold and white blazer, pearl and gold necklace and the most festive pillbox hat we've ever seen, she inadvertently stole the spotlight from FLOTUS, who looked pretty festive herself in a marigold Narciso Rodriguez dress.

Viewers on Twitter immediately praised Childs and her hat, with some people even calling for it to have a handle of its own. See some of the fired-up responses here, and check out the heartwarming story of how the chant started in the first place in the video below.
