So the world didn't end last Saturday, but this morning the universe pretty much exploded when style icons Kate Middleton and Michelle Obama met for the first time!

We haven't been this excited since the first lady and Sarah Jessica Parker came within feet of each other...

For the big meeting at Buckingham Palace, the freshly tanned Duchess looked chic in a camel, cap-sleeve Reiss bandage dress paired with black pumps, a matching clutch and a necklace. Kate looked completely at ease and comfortable during her first royal function, thanks in part to that post-honeymoon high, we're guessing.

Meanwhile, the FLOTUS brought her bright, springy colors across the pond courtesy of this floral Barbara Tfank A-line dress. It's a pretty frock, but paired with the pink cropped jacket, it's a little too Easter lunch, no? Michelle's pointy-toe heels are great, though.

Still, nothing can spoil the awesomeness of this stylish moment.

Wonder if Kate and Michelle swapped fashion secrets during their chat?!
