And the dress is already SOLD OUT. Sorry.

First Lady Michelle Obama returned to the designer that she wore often when her husband, the President of these United States, Barack Obama first got elected. Remember this election night dress she wore back in 2008? Some people loved that dress, some didn't, but the general consensus for her tangerine frock at the final SOTU was high praise. I must say, she looked great. Well played First Lady Michelle O. Well played.

Michelle Obama wears Kenzo as she arrives in Tokyo, Japan on March 18, 2015

How fabulous does the First Lady look stepping off the plane in Tokyo, Japan wearing Kenzo?! Kenzo is a French fashion house that was founded by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada, but its creations today are designed by the American dream team Humberto Leon and Carol Lim. The First Lady is always so conscientious of what she wears when she travels. She's in Japan to announce a partnership between the U.S. and Japan to educate girls worldwide called #LetGirlsLearn. A good look all around. And if you want to shop First Lady Michelle O's closet for this exact same Kenzo dress, click the pic above or check it out below! But you better hurry if you want it and you have the coins to get it! Because everything she wears sells out fast. [Thanks Nik :)]

via InStyle:

Michelle Obama has done it again! Last night, the ever-stylish FLOTUS stunned in a winning look by Prabal Gurung at a dinner marking the end of the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit. Her tea length yellow chiffon dress featured unique fluttering halter straps, a low-cut back, and crepe-satin banded bodice. Obama paired the eye-catching frock with metallic slingback pumps, oversized gold dangling earrings, a major stack of bangles on her arm, and pulled her hair into a chic topknot. Her choosing to wear a design by Gurung is unsurprising—she has worn creations by the New York-based designer on multiple occasions, always pulling them off flawlessly—this occurrence being no different.

via Essence.com: "We cannot waste the opportunity that we have here in America, especially as African-Americans. Our ancestors fought and bled and died so that we could go to school," she says.

"We talk about responsibility and accountability, about making sure that they're not wasting the opportunities they're given. We make sure they know how lucky they are and that, because of that, they have an obligation to have their acts together and to take their education very seriously."

First Lady Michelle Obama Encourages Young People to Travel... 25 Mar 2014 6:27 PM (11 years ago)

via Essence: The First Lady sat down for a CNN iReport interview to promote travel amongst young people. She took questions from viewers about traveling abroad. When asked what her first passport stamp was, Mrs. Obama revealed that it was from her first trip abroad to Paris, France. She elaborated, saying her sophomore class had the chance to spend a week in France, but she was afraid to ask her father to fund the trip, feeling like it was an extravagance. She says that when she finally got the courage to ask, he didn't blink an eye. "He wanted me to have all of the experiences that he didn't have."
Mrs. Obama went on to encourage young adults to seize the opportunity to travel, saying that it is a priority of hers to expose her daughters to the world. "We want this not just for our girls but we want that for you guys, too." she said. "And when you find the opportunity, take it, okay? That's going to make you just, better people, smarter people, and it's a lot of fun too." Watch what else Mrs. Obama had to say about the importance of traveling abroad:

First Lady Michelle Obama is Radiant in Red on Her 2nd Day in China... 21 Mar 2014 7:32 AM (11 years ago)

with First Lady Michelle Obama and her mother Marion Robinson

Via ABC News: U.S. first lady Michelle Obama met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday, the first day of her weeklong visit to China, in a sign that the leaders of the world's two largest economies are seeking to build stronger bonds.

The formal meeting between Mrs. Obama and Xi, in the company of Xi's wife, Peng Liyuan, and Mrs. Obama's two daughters and mother, took place in a state guesthouse after the first lady toured a Beijing high school and the former Imperial Palace.

"I cherish my sound working relationship and personal friendship I already established with your husband," Xi said. "We stay in close touch between phone conversations and correspondence."

Mrs. Obama thanked Xi for the warm reception for herself and her family. "We have had a wonderful first day here in China," she told Xi.

The meeting was not on the first lady's official itinerary but was expected. "It is only logical for President Xi to meet her, because it is a matter of etiquette for the head of the household to meet the guest of his wife," said Teng Jianqun, director of the American studies department at China Institute of International Studies. He added that Mrs. Obama likely served as a messenger on behalf of President Barack Obama.

Her visit to China is being viewed as a prelude to an upcoming meeting between Xi and President Obama at a nuclear security summit in The Hague, when more thorny issues will be raised.

Mrs. Obama also made history as the first U.S. first lady to visit China independently, Teng said.

The first lady told Xi she was focusing on education and student exchanges during her seven-day, three-city visit to China. Her aides have said the first lady plans to stay away from contentious issues.
