Michelle Obama, Jill Biden At President's Health Care Speech: Dressed To The Nines! (PHOTOS)

The last time President Obama spoke before Congress, First Lady Michelle Obama made international headlines by baring her arms in a sleeveless purple blouse. This time around, as the president delivered his health care address, FLOTUS was covered up in a pink full-sleeve skirt suit. Vicki Kennedy stood beside her in a gray suit, while Jill Biden wore a navy ruffled blouse with a white pencil skirt.

See who sat with the first lady on Wednesday night.

Beautiful FLOTUS as usual.

[theredqueen]

Coral is a great color and the suit the first lady is wearing looks charming.

[wanttruth]

Good post. I agree.

[Crissy Patters]

FLOTUS looks beautiful, she and all the ladies around her showed such class. Too bad we had an idiot in the congress showing his true hate at a time everyone should be coming together.

[benne]

She looked terrific, and responded appropriately to that clod-hopper Wilson. Loved her damn.

They just showed a shot of Michelle at the Pentagon for the 9/11 memorial. It looked like a nice, basic black outfit. Thank you, Michelle, for wearing something appropriate and respectful to this solemn event.

[Bluebell123]

Yes, but I bet there was a big 'ole bow on the back with with mutli-color flower appliques, or something equally tasteful.

[SpankMePlease]

still preferable to having a big ole permanent hump on the back like you, igor.

Lovely shade of coral on the first lady, with lipstick to match. Tres chic

Would be nice to read about what she's doing now that school's back..

I thought the First Lady looked fantastic last night. I love the suit, the color was flattering, her make-up and hair looked so polished and best of all were the looks of pride she gave her husband . I've seen her looking good before, but I have never seen her looking anything near this great and i wondered if she has a new stylist or is just growing into the role. Whatever, she glowed.

[Pema]

she did look wonderful. but all the ladies did. i made a post to that effect never made the light of day but lets hope this one does. the fashion awards go to the dem ladies! ..

[epiphany1234]

I would say the outfit was a bit too grandmotherly for her....but a wonderful color and a nice choice for Michelle. The broach with a touch of blue was very classy. I knew she could do it.....! A bit too much frost in the lipstick, but her hair looked great. Overall very nice....and what wonderful looks she gave her husband.

(Above posted to tick off the usual suspects.)

[ReesieKitty]

too much 'frost' in her lipstick??? Please. It wasn't really a 'shiny lipgloss' occasion. I think its ok that she left her BubbleGum LipSmacker at home.

[t iessa]

She actually wears most colors well, I think. I like the bright ones like yellow on her the best

[Pema]

my fav was the sliver blue dress she wore at the dnc convention. ill never forget how cute sasha was when she was talking to daddy on the big screen.

[MyGuyO]

FLOTUS look absolutely stunning last evening. Well, doesn't she always?

[ywcachieve]

Yes, Fl Michelle always looks great.

[nilotic]

Not always....

[chulanow]

The First Lady and her ladies all looked great!!!

[t iessa]

"her ladies?" I'm sure these independent, strong women appreciate being called someone's ladies. Please don't demean them. They are to be respected in their own rights.

[Bluebell123]

"her ladies" looked like they were embarrassed for her and laughing at her...

[peaceplez]

Who is the woman on Michelle's left and why isn't she mentioned in this article?

[PDinCA]

"Vicki Kennedy stood beside her in a gray suit"

[BeachBound]

I liked FLOTUS's outfit. She looked lovely. While she has impressive, toned arms, I was glad she wore sleeves for a change! The coral pink color of her outfit was unlikely to be copied, unlike Pelosi and H. Clinton who both wore all red, so cliche in Washington. Mrs. Obama's outfit was appropriate for the occasion and a relief. I was so dismayed to see her walking out of Air Force One on vacation in shorts and a tank top covered by a shirt. How uncouth! I don't care if you're on vacation to the Grand Canyon and its 100*---you're exiting Air Force One w/ pictures to the 4 corners of the world! A simple (sleeveless!) dress or skirt combo would have been much better then.

[rsprags]

Thank God you are not the FL or anyone stylist! FLOTUS can wear whatever she like when she want to wear it.
Love you FL Michelle you look beautiful as usual! Thanks for representing us in such a great manner!

[Pema]

its a style page, it has nothing to do if she is a good person or not. people will discuss her sytle.

[Pema]

beachbound...(i am too, pacific side) i have twice been to the grand canyon, it can be sweltering. i found in hot temp a light skirt keeps me cooler, keeps the direct sun off and still is breezy. i am orginally from that state and understand desert heat all too well. hence i moved to the beach!

[t iessa]

Skirts and especially dresses are always cooler to me. They let the air flow more.

[BethinIllinois]

what utter hypocrisy to talk about who's in the first lady's box, and then have it in reality be all about looks image and politics. All those sad stories? Well, they're certainly not reflect in our regal MO. No, she's hanging out only with people who matter.

What a damn hypocrite.

[youvegot2bkidding]

You seriously had to reach for that one, only to end up with an epic FAIL.

Clearly, your hate knows no bounds.

[aliengirl]

She looks nice but i don't know about the fringes( i think that's what they are called) in the back.

[montecarlo408]

Those are called inverted pleats.

[Pema]

agreed.

[dessertsfirst]

Our First Lady is lovely in pink. What a gorgeous outfit!

[Pema]

coral... close to pink but it was coral, and yes she looked absolutly womderful;...the pleats in the back were the only mis step imho, over all a winner, i loved the bow in the front. mrs kennedy looked wonderful as well as dr. biden, she always looks sharp
