On her first visit to Britain since husband Barack became US president, Michelle Obama dazzled London with her signature classic style Wednesday, leading one newspaper to dub her "Mighty Michelle".
The First Lady accompanied her husband to Downing Street first thing for breakfast with British premier Gordon Brown and his wife Sarah before the men discussed Thursday's G20 summit and the women visited a cancer care centre.
Later, she was to meet "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling when she sits next to her at a pre-summit dinner.
Michelle Obama's understated chic has injected a welcome dash of class into the run-up to Thursday's G20 as world leaders descend on London amid rowdy protests in the City of London financial district.
"A razzle dazzling performance from the mighty Michelle," was the London Evening Standard's verdict on her arrival.
After her Downing Street visit, Michelle Obama -- dressed in a sparkly cream cardigan and green pencil skirt from one of her favourite shops, J. Crew -- and Sarah Brown went to the Maggie's Centre in west London in bright spring sunshine.
There they met patients and their families plus staff, even joining women with cancer for a make-up session.
One woman at the centre, Namina Turay, 32, told her she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, but had been in remission for a year.
"Congratulations on being done!" the First Lady replied.
Later, as they shared tea and cake with staff, Obama described the centre as "pretty amazing".
"It's an oasis. An oasis that is necessary for people who are struggling," she said.
The politicians were then to have a working dinner at Downing Street as Sarah Brown hosts what the British press is calling a "girls' night in", also at the premier's official residence.

There is nothing classy about Michelle...unless the Chicago Skank Thug look is now the “in” look.
This is just a miserable write up here.
Mighty Ugly.
So understated it's mute.
Yeah. Mighty UGLY
Puke!
Bank on it..this woman will be pregnant in the next 9-12 months and then all of the hype will be on her pregnancy and that will carry his popularity through the election as a new Daddy. The world will fall in love again and she will become some signature role model for black mothers around the world.
We the taxpayers footed the affirmative action and tuition that got her here.
RIP America.
Listen MSM... this has to be said... MICELLE OBAMA IS NOT AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN!!! Nor is she “stylish”, “graceful”, “elegant”...etc. So stop saying it. The very bitter and angry Mrs. Seotoro has the lumbering cloddish gait of an inner city thug, the stooped forward, insecure posture of someone well aware that she’s out of her depth, and a severe underbite...
Please stop telling us what to think about this witch.
***”Congratulations on being done!” the First Lady replied***
Scuze me but I find that comment to be without any sincerity or forethought.
that were no green “pencil skirt”...
more like a magic marker
a jumbo size magic marker
methinks she don wan no more keeds
Michelle Obama is a huge ass connected to a small brain by a mean spirit and a sharp tongue.
Too many bracelets that don’t look good together and one of them looks like it’s made of macaroni. The sweater is more appropriate for the evening.
Patrick Ewing in drag.
Congratulations on being done? Since when does remission mean your cancer is gone?
“We the taxpayers footed the affirmative action and tuition that got her here.”

Not to mention the openly racist, politically corrupt “position” she enjoyed at a Chicago hospital.
I think the gacking kittie is a good symbol for the entire BO administration.
Fried Chicken and black eyed peas. All washed down with a "40" of Colt 45.
Wouldn’t do her with your.......................................!
Lemme see ... On a class ranking, MicheleOb or Laura Bush?
God, she’s ugly now,....just add about twenty pounds to that face and you’ve got something even Kim Jung il wouldn’t touch!
England really must be in the crapper. Why is the whole world so f*&#ed up these days!??
I don’t think she will be pregnant, but I do think she will gain an enormous amount of weight before 2012.
I know. I already emailed it out to everyone on my address book. Just because.
She’s 45 too old to keep making children.
She DOES resemble Patrick Ewing!
You can put a $5,000.00 Christian Dior dress on a $5.00 Crack Whore and she’s still a $5.00 Crack Whore.
How about she gets that Mugsy Underbite fixed???
Put People First - March for Jobs, Justice & the Environment
On 28th March thousands of trade unionists, socialists, communists and progressives will march through London as part of a global campaign to challenge the G20, ahead of their 2nd April summit on the global financial crisis.
Even before the economic crisis, the world suffered poverty, inequality and the threat of climate chaos. With more than £1,200 billion pounds pledged to bail out the banks it's working people who are being forced to pay.

That’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are.
MO’s ignorant.
I think ya meant, Michelle doesn’t want to be “punished” with anymo keeds!
Wait until they see how much she can bench press!
Likewise. If someone told me that she had been in remission for a year, I would’ve said, “That’s great news. May it ever be so!” It might not be the best thing to say, but I think it’s better than, “Congratulations of being done.” Does this idiot not know that there’s always a risk of it coming back? What a twit!
Well, if she were to have another baby, it would be only her second child with the Bamster. Sasha’s “Baby Daddy” be someone else...
I know they say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case I’d prefer the thousand words! lol!
They liked to call Bush a chimp, so let's try it out on the obama's.
I’m laffing so hard that I’m scaring my dog! Pencil skirt is kind of a misnomer, isn’t it? Maybe a green Glad Extra Large Lawn and Leaf?
and Dallas59, where did you get that video? LOL
Yup the fashionista from J. Crew bwahahahahhaha....what a bunch of loons
Oh no that was just wrong for so early in my day
An American MSM source reports gushing love of Michelle which is nowhere in evidence in the UK papers or TV.
But no, England must be at fault. Got it.
Michelle 0bama is just ugly enough for the 0media stooges to call her pretty. Lady Laura had her beat by a million miles, in both looks and class, the latter of which, Michelle knows nothing about. The black Jackie O, Michelle 0bama is not, but she does slip in under the wire to make Hillary’s league, just above Janet Reno.
