She has established herself as the First Lady of fashion and has graced the cover of Vogue.
But long before arriving at the White House Michelle Obama was already putting on the style.
In a shimmering low-cut silk dress slashed to the thigh, the then 18-year-old Michelle Robinson posed with her first boyfriend at the High School Prom.

More than a quarter of a century since that night, David Upchurch still has fond memories of escorting Michelle to the dance at the Whitney M Young High School in Chicago, which they both attended....
Her revealing dress choice...was perhapsan indication that she would always stand out.
Over 25 years since that night Upchurch still has fond memories of escorting Michelle to the dance....
Darling of the dance floor: Barack Obama takes Michelle, now his
wife of 17 years, for a spin at one of the 10 balls they
visited on inauguration night
He's still got the moustache:

home in Colorado Springs.
'Barack Obama's a lucky man,' he said
David said:...junior year, we began dating and continued to date for a year-and-a-half.'
He says he can't even remember if he received a goodnight kiss after the prom.
The romance ended when Michelle went off to Princeton to study sociology.
...David, a customer sales rep, has only fond memories of his time with Michelle....
'...she has always been a wonderful person,' he said....

In today's picture he looks like Cleveland from "Family Guy."
LMAO!
I'd say her old prom date has class.
You get the special FR Class of '98 exemption. I don't call out FReepers who I've always respected. We just agree to disagree.
I live in a purple state...OK????
Are you a real pirate?
...that her butt would always stand out.
He still seems to hold a high regard for Michelle, hope he has gone on and found a good mate. His nice comments about her reflect a gallantry on his part.
I don't remember ever reading anything about Obama being interested in any other girl but Michelle.
ARRGHH...No I'm not a Somali, but I am a 30 year Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan. It's as close as I can get.
Her name was Larry.
Same tux but that aint me
If I could post my prom photo, I would. I would love to look like that again. A full head of hair (Elvis and I could have been first cousins), 6’2”, eyes of blue, about 170 lbs.
If I posted a picture of me now, I’d be banded from FR for life, and even after/hereafter.
Damned. I wish I could use Rogain. Been eyeing my granddaughter’s long hair for a transplant. Hell, I’ve even been eyeing my cat for a transplant, esp. since the hamster died.
Hair vanity knows no limits in time or space.
LOL! That suit REALLY got around!
Isn’t it funny how the press can dredge this up, but nobody can find a single transcript, paper, essay, dissertation or any grades from any of the schools Obama attended?
Criticizing tactless style isn’t childish.
Criticizing critics of tactless style is childish.
You complain about people commenting on Michelles Prom pic but then you comment on her date's pic?
Hmmm... that's not irony but there's another name for it.
Your #49, yeah I didn’t want to go there. But even apart from that, no indication he was ever much interested in girls, not that he might not have been; I didn’t read his books.
