Third time's the charm!

At least in the case of a certain checkered sundress from Asos that's a hit among some very notable leading ladies, including none other than Anthony Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, and our very own FLOTUS, Michelle Obama.

And while the charming style is clearly appropriate for the political set, it's attracted the attention of one of Hollywood's hottest trendsetters, as well.

Just this morning, Jessica Alba wore the exact same checkered dress while promoting her organic brand, The Honest Company, at an event in Seattle, looking chic, fresh-faced and perfectly ready for summer.

Proof that this pretty piece looks good on everyone!

The sweet cotton frock features a high neckline and fitted waistband for an elegant fit-and-flare shape that never goes out of style and works well on all ages.

And while the brick-red-and-white pattern feels classic yet contemporary, it also photographs beautifully for those all-important appearances.

Ringing in at just under $100, this summer staple won't break the bank but will remain in heavy rotation for years to come. 

Just ask Michelle— she's famously worn the ensemble in 2011 and 2012, switching it up with different belts for variety.

Looks like this is one must-have every powerful woman needs in her closet!
