The Obamas are hosting the Kennedy Center Honors reception at the White House this evening. The First Lady is truly a vision in blue. Stunning!
Update: Mrs. O wore a custom Vera Wang strapless cobalt tulle gown with accentuating bias drape and tiered skirt with feathered organza accents. For jewelry, Mrs. O wore earrings by Miguel Ases.

"Vision in blue" is so true!!
Ha, and she has on flats!!! I just love this lady!!
One of her very best looks EVER. Speechless!!
Love the color of the gown and love her hair.
Beautiful....
Absolutely stunning!
This was so unexpected! Breathtaking to say the very least! I hate to see them go in 2017! Sigh! At least we will have the next four years of greatness to loo forward to!
HER color!
Oh my, she is breathtaking! Eagerly awaiting whatever you can tell us about the dress, Mrs. T, and those killer earrings, too!
Meryl Streep looks lovely. That draping and the fabric -- jersey? -- makes me wonder if it could be Doo-Ri Chung?
2017...from your lips...She looks beautiful. Can't wait to learn the designer.
Utterly stunning. She's pulls off being both sophisticated and sexy like no other modern woman. I love her.
Hottest first lady ever.
OMG I want this dress! She looks beautiful.
She looks better than any Hollywood star who has ever walked the red carpet. No doubt about it. And it's not just about the dress, but about the real, genuine person inside of it, that sets her apart.
Yes. This will go down as one of her absolute best. Better than the inaugural, better than the state dinners.....really, one of the BEST!!!!!!!!!
SPEECHLESS!!!!!!!!
OMG, 11 out of 10!!!!
She looks DYNAMITE ! More pictures on The Obama Diary.com You can see POTUS looking lovingly at FLOTUS! What a FABULOUS looking couple. This family has dug DEEP in the gene pool. Everyone is good looking in this family! From the First Grandmother to the dog Bo!
Have we ever had a more beautiful and fashionable first lady? I'm 70 years old and the only one who comes close is Jackie Kennedy -- a very different kind of beauty and fashion leader.

SHA-ZAM!!!
They both look incredible! The color, the fabric, the architecture-- another winner for Mrs. O!

colour check
sex appeal check
arm candy check....
I'm in a trance...SWOONS...BREATHTAKING! TO SAY THE LEAST! :)))))
Her Hair is Beautiful, Dress is Gorgeous,Makup is Simply STUNNING!!
Go Flotus. The President is Oh SO Handsome!!
Wow we, the obama diary gives great pictures also
Beautiful dress!! Vera Wang knows how to design a great dress!
Gorgeous, stunning, just the right note, wonderful color!
BREATHTAKINGLY STUNNING!
So wonderful to see a modern and fashionable first lady who goes out of her comfort zone and experiments with new trends! I love the hair, makeup, accessories, dress, EVERYTHING!!! Her smile is radiant and the color the dress makes her face pop. Definitely one of her best looks yet!
There are no adjectives left in the English language to explain how truly dazzling they BOTH look.
Wow, wow and wow!! Gorgeous dress, gorgeous color, gorgeous hair and gorgeous husband!! What more could a woman want?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A stunning colour and style on Mrs. O! Love the earrings too.
I actually gasped when i opened this page....this is gorgeous...words fail me
A+.
beautiful!
She lost me with the flats; it totally downgraded this beautiful gown.
Love love love the colour and the style. Mrs. O looks gorgeous!!
I get goosebumps just looking at this! It's stunning. What really makes it, though, is Mrs. O's smile. Such a fantastic photograph!
I hope she wears more Vera Wang because this dress is sensational.
Gorgeous dress. This is her best look ever ever ever. It reminds me of my wedding dress and makes me want to get married all over again. This is the kind of dress that you never want to take off. Mrs. O needed better support in the stomach area but still an A+ look for me.
Ohhh SNAP! This woman rocks a blue/purple dress like no one else! Drop. Dead. Gorgeous. They are sooooo fun to watch!
@ Jestina, I totally agree!
Breathtaking! She truly is one of the most beautiful and chic First Ladies we have ever had. This has to be one of my favorite gowns she has worn. Love how she accessorized as well with the earrings.
Absolutely gorgeous -- can't get much better than this.
Mrs. O = VA-VA-VOOM
The President = SWOON
Fabulous beyond words!!!!
Good morning - Like you - I gasped when I first saw the picture. When you think Mrs. O. can't out do herself - she takes it higher. Vera and Michelle were made for each other. Definitely one of Vera's best designs. Mrs. O looks fantastic. She has raised the bar for future first ladies. This dress is perfect. Oscar is going to have to raise his game if he ever wants a nod. I suspect that Vera can make a few tweaks to make this a wedding dress.
Great choice.
This is first time I have ever seen a First Lady actually earn the title. Mrs. O does it with class and style.
