Gorgeous! I swear Jackie Kennedy never rocked anything this fab! Lady Michelle is more like Lady Diana! Diana had great style like this once she ditched Prince Charles.

[Ann_T]

Oh My Goodness! Wow
Both POTUS & FLOTUS look fantastic!

[Lisa H]

Now THIS is a dress worthy of the First Lady. I love it, and she looks beautiful. Perfection.

[Kanini]

Simply stunning indeed, Michelle continues to illustrate just how much she is the lady in red....

[Nyon]

I just can't find the words to show how much I LOVE them.

LOL, I will admit that as soon as I saw her I started singing "Lady in Red!" :)

[isonprize]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?!?!?!? Wheww. I need air. THIS LOOK IS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!

Any word on the designer? The earrings? The shoes? THe back of the dress?

They are the best, best, bestus of the best President and First Lady EVER!!!

[skepticalbrotha]

Red is definitely Mrs. O's best color. This gown is absolutely one of her five best. I almost like it better than her first state dinner gown--and that gown was the bomb.

[canyongal]

OMG, Assaba, you are so right....it soes look just like that David's Bridal gown, straps and all!!!!

[Stylin' & Profilin']

She looks absolutely stunning... the hair, dress, make-up are all in sync! This is probably one of my fave recent looks on her!

[operafanatic]

Stunning. She could not be more classic and elegant. And - be still my heart - are those the famous Jimmy Choo Lantern heels I love??

[juiguson]

Thank you for sharing such good experience.replica hermes handbags|

[Ms. M]

I really like her hair up with the full, side-swept bangs! She's absolutely 'Radiant in Red' and Mr. President is just as handsome as ever! Really like the shape of the earrings she selected, they flow with the angular bodice of her gown. The gold multi-strapped, high-heeled shoes...very pretty from what I can see of them!

I'm running out of adjectives to describe how sensational Mrs Obama always looks, especially in evening wear. I'm off to find some new words in the dictionary, I'll be back soon.

[shyril]

She looks beautiful!

[Charlene in Detroit]

She is breathtakingly, beautiful! Wow, I was speechless when I saw this dress on our Michelle. The cut, the color, the style all worked like a charm. Our POTUS always looks good (IMO) and polished in his tux. I saw some close ups on Gettyimages and he looks a tad bit tired. Yet, still out there fighting on our behalf. He does my heart proud!

[Brooksie]

OMG...everyone in total agreement...that's about as amazing as the First Lady!!!!!

[Marcus Perry]

Ravishing in red! The First Lady is one phenomenal woman! That dress is "art!"

Lovely! I usually don't like her in red, but THIS red shade is so perfect for her! Lovely flow to skirt and beautiful proportiions. LOVE the hair style too. To me this is the 2nd or equally best evening dress she has ever worn - this and the georgeous Naeem Khan gown she wore at the State Dinner for the Indian Prime Minister

[prettiribbons]

Talk about another great unique creative design. Fantastic looking visual appeal in bodice. Band under bust creates a flattering silhouette.
CONTRAST.....(love it) followed by soft flowing pleats in the skirt. Ofcourse she has the perfect height for the flowiness in the skirt and her gym tone figure is emphasized beautifully - grrrrrrrrrreat choice. Lawve...ly!!!

[Thaci Brasil]

GORGEOUS!
YOU AMERICANS HAVE GOOD LUCK TO HAVE A FIRST LADY SO PERFECT!

[Paige]

The dress is absolutely a jaw-dropper! BEAUTIFUL! Mrs. O. carries it off fabulously!

[emily1]

FLOTUS is buff toned youthful and rocks anything that hangs on that bod!....never disappoints ....STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Posh Tater]

THAT is beyond beautiful... beyond.

[susanna rose]

This red dress is wonderful on the First Lady. It would have made a better Inaugural gown than the Jason Wu, which photographed poorly and was ungainly for dancing.

[Christen]

Wow, wow and wow!!! This dress is absolutely fabulous, and Mrs. O. looks so good in red. This is by far my favorite look of hers so far this year.

[Eleroy]

Hello Gorgeous!!!

[Ms. C.]

Absolutely stunning!!

[Pris]

Mrs. O is wearing a Michael Kors dress :)

[bad little kitty]

the designer is michael kors! no wonder she looks so amazing. he posted this same pic on his facebook page.

[B.J]

Michael Kors is one of my favorite designers, and Mrs. Obama is STUNNING, BEAUTIFUL,GEOURGEOUS, LOVELY,SIMPLY DIVINE,FIERCE,ETC. THAT DRESS JUST IS THE BEST THING ON HER. WOW thats all i can say.

[joyce]

now michelle obama knows how to dress. If there is a lucky man in the world, it is POTUS. love love love the dress. OMG, look at the shoe just peeping from under her gown. love you michelle. I know God will grant me a chance to meet you one day

[Reda StCyr]

Oh man that is a bad gown and she wears it like it was most likely made for her
