Michelle Obama Channels Jackie Kennedy In Baby Blue Dress And Pearls (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 06/11/2010 2:51 pm   Updated: 05/25/2011 4:45 pm

As first lady Michelle Obama gave an emotional speech to graduating students at D.C.'s Anacostia Senior High School on Friday (we dare you to watch this and not cry), she looked very first lady-like in a fitted baby blue dress with a double strand of pearls. The looks was reminiscent of a certain iconic predecessor. Do you agree?

UPDATE: The dress is by Michael Kors.

That is a beautiful pearl necklace. Please check out this website American Pearl: http://www.americanpearl.com/dostwhfrpene.html as they sell a pearl necklace that is similar in style to the Michelle Obama pearl necklace.

Someone at HP is obsessed with Michelle Obama's backside and it's very disrespectful.

Cakey4814>>>Are you serious? Michelle Obama's fans are constantly bringing the topic up of The First Lady's backside, THEY are the one's who seem to think having a large one is some type of special accomplishment!

You need to "look beyond the hype".. While MOs fans (me included) love her style HPs and the MSMs obsession with her behind is disrespectful. You could have kept that comment..

No but having a large FIRM one on an athletic body is appreciated. You sound angry? Why?

Mrs Obama is always lovely. The dress is lovely. And why does HP have to present a bu.tt shot?

Of course, if she wasn't the First Lady I'd have to say 'what a nice bu.tt it is'

This is one of the BEST dresses for her. The cool shade against her lovely dark skin. And the cut is exquisite. She should get about 10 of these in different colors! I wonder who the designer was? Look at the fine cut around the arms and the fitted back seams. This is a look she should definately pursue. Drop the goofy high belts and cardigans.

I agree with you about the color and style, it brings out the that wonderful coco brown complection. But i like the cardigans sans the belts.
