The first lady is celebrating International Women's Day with an event at the White House today. Per USA Today, the introduction went as follows:
"So, I get so speak first while he stands and watches -- I love this!" Mrs. Obama said of her husband, to the chuckles of the mostly female audience in the East Room at the White House.
"Look at me adoringly!," she told the president.
To which he responded: "I can do that ..."
To which she said: "... with sincerity!"
Later, Mrs. Obama, cracked, "it is my pleasure to introduce one of the few men in the room."
Following the light-hearted start, the president gave remarks on American women who have impacted our nation's history, ranging from former first lady Abigail Adams to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. The program also featured actress Kerry Washington, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Afghan singer Mozdah Jamalzadah, and singer Katharine McPhee.
On the style front, the first lady wore a draped grey dress by Lanvin, last seen in Oslo, Norway in late 2009, and true to the title of this post, looked absolutely lovely!
