The first lady chose a dramatic Carolina Herrera ball gown with a voluminous skirt and lace-overlay top. The blue and black gown is the first dress with sleeves Obama has worn to a state dinner. Previously she donned one-shouldered pieces from Peter Soronen and Doo-Ri Chung, and a strapless gown by Naeem Khan for the administrations first official state dinner in 2009 for India.

The dress is beautiful and dignified and looks good on her. And for once she is not slouching (which, to be fair, is common for tall women). She must have a posture coach now.
Millions of Americans lost their heath insurance, lost their jobs and no longer work full time...the Obama’s party hard on the tax payer dime. Two Americas right there!

It doesn’t pay to hold in your feelings like that.

Wow!
How many dwarves are under that dress?
Well, now we know how the 0.001% live...

(she was great in the Star Wars movies!)
