The President and First Lady attended the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday evening in Washington, DC. The First Lady looked regal in an orchid purple, pleated chiffon gown. I don’t know about you all, but I’m loving the up dos. They really show of her face and beautiful bone structure.
This year’s honorees included Mel Brooks, jazz musician Dave Brubeck, mezzo-soprano Grace Bumbry, Robert De Niro, and Bruce Springsteen. The festivities began on Sunday with a reception in the East Room of the White House.
According to the New York Times the reception was attended by Melissa Etheridge, Jon Stewart, Martin Short, and Caroline Kennedy. The broadcast will air on CBS December 29 and will include performances by Aretha Franklin, Meryl Streep, Herbie Hancock, and Sting.

That’s my girl. Excuse me, I meant to say that’s my First Lady. Excuse me, I should have said that’s the United States of America First Lady. Like BC said……WOW!!! I hope Mr. President knows how lucky he is.

I love it when the President of the United States looks at his wife, First Lady of the United States. The look in this pictures is saying it all. They are an awesome couple. God Bless

The dress does not fit her, people. It is too tight around her chest. She would look so much better if she didn’t wear her clothes so tight. You give her way too much credit…she lacks taste in appropriateness and has a long way to go with her fashion sense. At least she didn’t wrap a hug brown belt around her waist this time.

I wish I could see a full length shot of Michelle in the dress, from these shots, I don’t think it looks good on her.
Love Mel Brooks, appreciate all the times I have laughed at his movies, especially Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein!

I personally love to read what the haters have to say. Love it. They sound so incredibly petty and small minded. Michelle’s happiness must be really irking them so she is definitely doing something right. I wonder where the President is taking his Queen for date night, next ?
Go, First Lady !!! Greetings from England. Come and pay us a visit again soon. We Brits love you to death and so does our Queen. You are more than welcome to come round for tea and scones anyday. Love ya and love the dress. My second favourite dress after the State dinner dress.

BC I hope Michelle visits the Queen soon as well. I loved how she stood up for Michelle when the media wanted to crucifiy her for the hug. I’m so glad the Brits love Michelle as much as us Mericans loved Diana.

You know it’s fine that everyone doesn’t like the First Lady fashion taste. Certain people will fine fault regardless what she have on. She is not like the other First Ladies, she has her own style and taste. Plus she is not old like most of the other First Ladies. You don’t like what the First Lady wears, well so be it, I have a strong feeling that she is going to wear what she likes. You can’t please everyone, and Mrs. Obama isn’t going to try too. I hope she keeps on doing things her way. If people don’t like it, well who really cares? Hear me MIRTA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one has to be a hater to dislike the way Michelle dresses. I have yet to see her wear one thing that looks good. Michelle is a very large woman. She is bigger than her husband. When she wore shorts she shows off her thunder thighs, and large rear end..
She thinks her best part of her body is her arms and she squesses her chest in strapless dresses. Obama has to be blind to let her go out in public in the things she wears. Michelle makes any beautiful dress look like a rag. Anytime someone tries to say Michelle needs a dresser, the race word comes up and I think that is rediculas to cover the truth. Michelle needs to cover her body or wear suits like Dr. Biden. As she dresses so elegantly. Michelle can learn from her.

@Princess and Mirta,
Sorry Michelle does not fit your white standard of beauty. Neither she or her supporters care what you think.

BC those were some nice things u said about our FL it was so nice and i bet the FL love England as well. I hope she does go back over there maybe this summer and have a litle chit chat with your Queen and maybe her and the girls will get to stay at the Queen of England’s Palace. That would be great and i hope your Queen come on over here soon as well and spend a night at the WH. I like this purple dress as well. The FL has been showing out lately. Go head Michelle!
LOL! at A. Darton

Princess….. let’s be honest here, regardless what Michelle Obama wear you will fine some fault with it. Yours was an attack on the entire woman, but no you don’t hate it. You just like trying to demean her, but Princess it won’t work. She is not Dr. Biden, so why should she dress like her. I am proud of Michelle Obama, and yes that includes her big butt and thighs too. The arms too. The entire black woman. Just like there are people who are proud of those flat behind women. You know the NO butt women.I’m not trying to get ugly, but you’re a liar when you said that the First Lady can take a beautiful dress and turn it into a rag. For such a big butt, big thighs, bad dresser, she sure have accomplish alot in her life. This lady have not and will not let your kind of people stop her. And to that I say keep marching on Michelle Obama. You are a lovely Black woman and I’m so glad you are the First Lady.

She looks positively gorgeous in that dress! Go FLOTUS!
As for the haters, they are just jealous because of Michelle’s womanly curves. She has body that most of us Black women have, and these other race women like Mirta & Princess just can’t stand it. Too bad haters, a BLACK WOMAN, is first lady, not you. DEAL WITH IT.
PS Michelle may be tall and curvy, but she is in NO WAY “bigger than her husband”. He is still clearly taller and heavier than her!

“Just like there are people who are proud of those flat behind women. You know the NO butt women” LOL!! A. Darton
Everyone has a different point of veiw when it comes to body types. I hate when people try to make certain body types that they think should be the norm the only option of beauty it’s not. There are differences in opinions. Dr. Biden wouldn’t want Michelle’s body and Michelle wouldn’t want Dr. Bidens body. It’s a cultural difference.
There are probaly more Michelle Obamas in this world when it comes to body type than there are Jill Bidens and the Michelle Obamas of the world have NO problem with themselves even if others have a problem with them. again it’s a cultural difference. If Princess thinks the FL is a very large woman, which she is not, i hate to see when she actually see a very large woman. Princess u should go take a nap or something sweetheart because u sound ridiculous.
BC u aren’t the only one that say it like u see it A. Darton does as well. lol! You’re right, this Princess is NO Princess.

i think that michelle obama has great taste in clothing and men. she chose a great person to be married to and to be the 1st lady with! to all the haters that want to bash michelle in the ground about her looks – don’t-you can’t handle the fact that our 1st lady looks as you would call it “different”. she is the 1st lady right now, so get used it!
