Standing O at Kennedy Center Gala (Updated)

Thanks Carmen, for the link! Is that the elusive St. Patrick's Day dress we see? Correction: Erin informs us "It’s not the same dress as the St. Patrick's Day. I was sitting in the orchestra and had a good view — this one had a fitted bodice with a tulip skirt of little tiled patches of the green fabric."

Update: We are delighted to discover this dress is another gem from Jason Wu! The green dress is from his Spring 2009 collection, seen here. Since this wasn't a widely photographed event, hopefully we'll see it again? Fingers crossed.

Oh yes, I posted about this earlier. Mrs. O had a ladies night out on Sunday night. Here's an article:

So date night Saturday night and Ladies Night Sunday night.

I love this beautiful forest-green dress, especially with those fabulous bow pins at the shoulders.

You welcome Mrs T!

Mrs. T,

An even better pic of the green dress is when Michelle is kissing Mr. O in the first 100 days shot in front of what loooked like a fireplace.

i.e. Pete Souza's Time mag pictures. I'm sure you have a reason for not referencing that instead.

Check out the USAtoday blog of some of what was said during that night about Mrs. O. (Sweet and Hilarious lines by Lily Tomlin for one.)

I wish I could've heard it in person, or wish there was some vid -- let us know if anyone sees it:

J'adore green dresses. This is one of Mrs. O's best colors. :)
