Michelle Obama Surprises White House Tour Visitors In DVF Dress (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 02/16/2012 1:31 pm Updated: 02/16/2012 2:20 pm

Everything Michelle Obama does, she does in style.

The First Lady, with First Dog Bo by her side, wore a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress to an impromptu meet and greet with White House visitors today, all of whom didn't realize their tourist-y White House visit would end in a tete-a-tete with the First Lady.

The whole thing was broadcast in a streaming video running live on WhiteHouse.gov.

Mrs. Obama looked casual but stylish in the black and white printed "Julian" dress and some killer patent red pumps as she warmly greeted the visitors and engaged in conversation about The President and her "Let's Move!" campaign.

She even took time to talk style by commenting on one visitor's UGG Boots:

"I've never seen sparkly Uggs before."

The 80-minute long appearance may have been a surprise, but her choice of designer was not. Mrs. Obama has proven to be a longtime fan of the designer and von Furstenberg has been a supporter of the Obamas, most recently contributing to President Obama's Runway To Win collection.

Take a look through the slideshow of our screencaps to see just how great the First Lady looked in DVF (and a few shots of Bo!). (Unfortunately for our purposes, no cameras were allowed for either the tourists OR media.)

Absolutely, and thank you for saying it so I didn't have to look up the spelling for quintessential.

Arkansas and Florida (despite the divergent popular beliefs of the
paper tigers in GOP stripes down here) equally concur.

Hail to the Chief and FLOTUS, too!

She does dress 'real' and really well (and I love that she 'pops in' on
White House Visitor Tours....that is something the parents & the kids
will never forget. I like her a great deal. Another in a string of our
Presidents who definitely married up.

Michelle Obama is a CLASS ACT!   I am so proud of her as a woman, a mother, a wife and an American.   She is my sister from another mother  : )

I think it is so humorous how right-wingers crawl around this site criticizing the FLOTUS concerning her fashion style....what do you folks want? It is not her style to be buttoned up like a Stedford wife such as Nancy Reagan, nor a wall flower like Laura who only wore stuffy suits and pumps...she is a young wife and mother who has her own style sense, knows what she likes and dislikes.....if she was as "style" backwards as some of these folks (ASS)ume she is, why was she voted onto the People's Best Dressed List for three years in a row??? You can keep your stuffy wives like Carlista and Mitten's wife, and we will keep and adore our Michelle... I, and millions of her admirers, know we have gotten the far better end of the stick! Eat your hearts out WITCHES, and ride them hate brooms!!!

Everyone looks great in a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress, but the first lady really looks great. The red pumps are the perfect accessory, too.

The first lady is a breath of fresh air. She has her own style, love the way she had brought belts back, accentuating waist and femininity, and especially love it when she shines the light on American designers such as Jason Wu.

We took the White house tour last year. I would have given anything to be so lucky as to see Michelle Obama. I did see her at a luncheon but there were over a thousand gusts, and the podium was pretty far away.
Those lucky tourists!

tete-a-tete - a private conversation between two people
conversation - the use of speech for informal exchange of views or ideas or information etc.
pillow talk - intimate conversation between lovers (typically occurring in bed)

Was that the right word to use in this situation?
