WOW this dress is gorgeous. Love the pleating on the bodice and skirt. Hairstyle lovely as well.
Wow! I know the first lady is stunned and stunning dinner with jacob zuma..when you are in school you never imagine wow.
She always looks good in Khan! Always
I love this dress; those colors are amazing!
This dress has a subtle way of pulling the eye in to see the detail and admire the rich sunset color palette. Cut just right for her figure, this is a smart looking design, which can go from late afternoon to nighttime. Naeem Khan always creates the perfect style, for our perfectly lovely First Lady.
One bare shoulder allows the statement necklace to play against her soft brown shoulder and beautifully toned arms. It’s hard to tell, but the necklace appears to be a succession of horns, primitive in style. I’d love to know who the designed it.
Perfection! I *like* the dresses she's worn on this trip.
The dress is pretty, but not one of my favoirtes of hers. I think I would've much rather see the outfit minus the necklace. That style of dress should be worn with out necklaces. IMO
Oh my! I must say it - Naeem Khan is indeed one of my favorite designers for Mrs. O. This dress is absolutely lovely.
Kudos to you Mr. Khan
Peace.
stunning! Naeem Khan comes through again and the necklace is the perfect complement.
This is an amazing look...wonderful, stunning...wow!
Loving it! Vibrant, warm, earthy and sexy. ...More Naeem Khan (and less Michael Kors) any day. ...Nice necklace, too. But a tad too much (size) for this dress. It's upstaging the upper part of the dress. Would've loved to have seen the necklace as a bracelet instead.
This is one beautiful dress! Necklace represents the sun in the palette of the dress. Well done Flotus!
The dress resembles an African sunset. I love it.
Ok, I am almost caught up! I have been looking in on the site but unable to post due to my mom's illnesses lately, a bit overwhelming for me. This little haven gives me joy......... I missed you all like crazy!
As for our Michelle..............PERFECT!
10!
I never would have thought to wear the necklace with this, but I love it! The word from Huff Post is that it's Robert Lee Morris, and it does look like his work.
Hi CID! Hope your mother is doing better.
The First Lady looks wonderful in this dress, great colors for the occasion.
Hi guys. I just want to say, I don't think Flotus has had anything other than a total hit-out-of-the-park when she goes w/ Naeem Kahn. Have we ever once seen her in one of his creations and not went crazy over it?( Marcus Perry, I also think she's worn Michael Kors really well too, and I'm not a huge fan of his creations, but she does wear him well too, just sayin')
Stunning necklace by Robert Lee Morris!
The First Lady looks gorgeous. I give this look a 10!
Her skin and makeup are beautiful too!
I have had days when I have decided that I want to wear a piece of jewelry and then chosen the rest of my ensemble to go with the necklace or earrings or brooch. I am loving this entire ensemble and wishing I could wear a one shoulder dress. The colors are awesome!
