President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama Dance at the Nobel Banquet

Yesterday President Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize, and his lovely bride was on hand to dance the night away with him. Mrs. Obama wore a silver floor length evening gown with what must have been quite the heels underneath, as she looks taller than Barack in the photo!

While it is not entirely certain who designed the First Lady’s ensemble (there’s a matching jacket in some photos I’ll post later), Mrs. O seems to have a strong belief that it is the work of Azzedine Alaia.

Earlier today First Lady Michelle Obama met with Turkish First Lady Ermine Erdogan. Mrs. Obama wore an understated outfit with muted colors, but still managed to look beautiful.  I think it’s because of her radiant smile!

IOC 2016 Olympic Venue Announcement - Day Two

Last night First Lady Michelle Obama presented Chicago’s case for bringing the 2016 Summer Olympics to the city of broad shoulders, and did she ever look good doing it! The First Lady really brightens up the room with this shimmering yellow dress by Michael Kors Chicago designer Maria Pinto. The defining feature of the dress is a wide belt worn high on the waist, and certainly the boldest feature of the dress is a large bow. Michelle accents the dress with a short sleeve cardigan and simple earrings.
