Michelle Obama At Presidential Medal Of Freedom Ceremony: RED HOT (VIDEO)

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama welcomed guests to the White House on Wednesday to present 16 Presidential Medals of Freedom.

The first lady had changed out of that morning's ensemble--a sweet summery dress with chunky jewelry--and into a sleeveless red sheath reminiscent of Mrs. Obama's famous purple dress.

The first lady's coral lipstick offset her red dress nicely:

Michelle looked great in this outfit.

Her complexion radiates when she wears bright colors. She is very beautiful and has a well built body which she works hard to obtain. We love her and her wonderful husband.

FLOTUS is smokin' as usual - easy on the eyes, talk drink of water, it's all good.

Down with republicans who are fabricating lies and trying to incite evil words that are untrue and FALSE.
We salute our President for civilize governing under great pressure from these people.

Why does she always do this thing with her mouth?

[ItHadToBeSaid]

What thing? Smile?? Talk?? Breathe?? Chew?? That's what its for.

If you're referring to the picture above in which she is simply SMILING, I'd say "she does this thing with her mouth" because she's happy. . .

[KIVPossum]

What thing? Put her lips together, turn her cheeks up in a smile, show those lovely dimples and look sexy as thunder?

That thing?

[TanzaniteDiamonds]

What's that "thing" YOU do at the keyboard? Not being able to appreciate a great photo of the First Lady, in such a beautiful red dress?

[greenties30]

I think it is the way her jaw line runs or she has a terrible underbite. I'm not sure which but I don't think she can help it.

[ToniaB]

Whatever it is; her husband loves it!

Something about those eyes of Flotus! Very sexy!!

[ThanksMatt]

Mr President looks soooo proud of her.... and rightly so!

[SUSANINCOLUMBIA]

Bravo, Michelle!

[TanzaniteDiamonds]

Definitely "stunning"!! Fabulous color on her. It reminds me of how she looked great in the fuschia one too. She's positively radiant in bright vivid colors.

mo looked lovely in the simple red dress, she wears red well. this is what i have been wanting to see her in, simple clean lines with no fussy stuff. when you have a pearl you let it shine as a simple elegant pearl.
