Thank you, Internet!
First lady Michelle Obama kicked off Inauguration Day in a Thom Browne ensemble reportedly inspired by a men’s silk tie. Or, you know, Star Trek:

Even Sulu couldn’t help but notice the Romulan influence.

George Takei wrote on Facebook, “Who wore it better? #Obamulan.”

Indeed. But libs and conservatives alike found the resemblance striking. How could they not?
Anyone else think the First Lady is dressed like a Romulan from Star Trek? #nerdalert pic.twitter.com/shP7NOIY

I love our First Lady, but her wardrobe for today's promenade is a bit too Romulan ambassador.

I about to say what every nerd was thinking, First Lady Michelle Obama was dressed like a Romulan. #inaug2013

Now that the internet has pointed out the resemblence between M. Obama's coat and a Romulan dress uniform at Inauguration, I can't unsee it.

It can’t be unseen. And we’re OK with that (though not as OK as this guy):
Pretty hot that Michelle is dressed like a Romulan.
