Simply stunning.
STUNNING!!!!!!!!!! Everything is on point - the hair,the makeup. LOVE the dress! I am speechless!!!!! GORGEOUS! They must have gasped when she walked in!
This Lady knows about elegance ! Simply radiant !
I think the First Lady is a vision. I just love it. they are such a stunning couple, and I'm pleased as punch that they are the First Couple.
Love her hair styled that way (the faux cut :). I also love her earrings, bold color and flow of her dress, the neckline, and the metallic shoes. Really pretty. Keeping the jewelry to a minimum went a log way in polishing the look. (BTW, is the dress two tones of red or is it just the lighting?)
Gorgeous! They look so comfortable and happy together, I love it! and them!
OMG, she looks amazing ! I love love... the dress and her hair style tooo.

fab,fab.The president is looking very handsome too
Wowzers, one her absolutely finest looks EVAH! Amazing dress, gorgeous hair and make-up. In other pictures, it looks like she's gotten a shorter cut. In any case, her look is flawless. Truly an incredible couple.
OOOOOOMMMMMMGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY DIVINE!
Definitely one of her best hair days, I like the sleek. it's almost a Rihanna look, but more grown-up. Can we get a close-up on the earrings?
Wow! She looks AMAZING!! They are so lovely together.
STUNNING!!!!!!!!
What a fantastic dress - I agree that it's one of her best ever.
DY-no-MITE ! now THAT'S a dress.
I am speechless!!! The fabulous red dress, the impeccable hair, the makeup, the earrings!!! Yes, Yes,
yes. First Lady par excellence!
LOVE MRS OBAMA RED DRESS AND GOLD SHOES LOVE IT AND THE DRESS IS NEW NOT LASTYEARS MR OBAMA DID A GREAT SPEECH
The tall lovely lady in red is looking fabulous. Her favorite accessory doesn't look too bad either!
Love them!
I read somewhere they walked to church this morning. Can't wait to see those family photos.
Lovely the First Lady is red hot in this one. Potus looks amazing as well.
Hey, that is my wedding dress in red! I feel so in.
She looks absolutely beautiful, as usual! And the Pres is simply beaming. One nice perk of the very tough job of being first lady is all of these occasions to be beautiful and gracious. I hadn't noticed such with any of the previous first ladies. (Jackie O was before my time, though she's legend.) Our FLOTUS makes me smile.
I am on the floor screaming...... about to pass out.....
No SERIOUSLY. This IS the best look she's ever had. SERIOUSLY I'M DYING!!!!!! I CAN"T BELIEVE IT!!!!! The woman is a VISION in RED!
ONE WORD (WELL ONE MADE UP WORD)......FANTABULOUS!!!!! SEXY, SEXY, SEXY FIRST LADY IN RED..AND THE PRESIDENT ISN'T LOOKING SO BAD EITHER. BEAUTIFUL POWER COUPLE! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
YES YES YES 1000X YES..........I love this dress, the color, and FLOTUS for wearing it....YUM.
POTUS looking dashing himself.
Also, cant shake the feeling I saw this design somewhere.....but cant point to it ;-/
Beautiful! It looks like this David's Bridal wedding dress, in red and in a different material!

Perfection in every aspect from every angle. I love the flow of that skirt!
A feast of beauty - sumptious, delectable, finger-licking good!!!!!!
Absolutely STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1st Lady in RED
Really fabulous look. The dress flatters her so much! I'm amazed!
What an awesome couple whether in or out of office; exception mentors, intelligent, wholesome and last but not least HOT!
OMG I AM HYPERVENTILATING!!!! MRS-O is going to turn this gay man straight!!! She is HOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
Oh my God! Stunning! I want that dress...
Wow! First, the dress is fab, and the styling (hair, accessories) is so spot on. She's gorgeous and confident in every way. Secondly, it doesn't hurt that the man on her arm looks at her as if she hung the moon! Good for them. I hope my husband still looks at me like that after 16 years of marriage.
she is on a roll! this is GORGEOUS on her. Wow.
This is one of her best GOWNS, if not her BEST. STUNNING!
Peter Soronen?
My God, Beauty is her name. I was flipping through slides of Marchesa gowns and all the while hoping to see Mrs. O in a full length, flowy number. She threw me a bone. Yum!
Beautiful in every aspect. Love the total look.

Have a look at the girls!
THIS gown is charming, striking, and appropriate rather than edgy like the bronze number in the previous post. I love red on her, and the drape is luxurious.
Absolutely Beautiful! Fabulous! Mrs. O hits it out of the park!!! What a perfect couple!
I am speechless. Who is the designer?
do we know who designed this dress?
Stunning! Elegant! Absolutely beautiful! What a lovely, caring, on-point couple. I'm so proud of our First Family....God bless America!
That's what I'm talkin' bout! This is a really, really great look for her.
@Suzanne -- this is really your wedding dress in red? Because I can imagine this as an absolutely beautiful weddng gown.
Wow! One of my favorites ever, I think.
I so NEED that dress. She is so...there are no words for how absolutely FABULOUS she looks.
This is love supreme.
