Michelle Obama Repeats Tracy Reese Dress For President's Dinner Contest 2012 (PHOTOS)

One thing we love about Michelle Obama is her confidence to wear her favorite dresses twice. And that's exactly what she did last night while congratulating the winners of the President's Dinner contest.

The first lady looked flawless in her black-and-white Tracy Reese frock with a zigzag print as she and the president dined at the Boundary Road in Washington with supporters from across the country who won the chance to dine with the Obamas.

So chic! But our favorite part? It seems POTUS donned a matching black-and-white striped tie.

Mrs. Obama previously wore this dress when she and the first lady of Britain, Samantha Cameron, served lunch for British service members and veterans in May of 2011.

It's no surprise that FLOTUS is donning Tracy Reese, as the designer has become a favorite for the first lady: she's been out multiple times in a Tracy Reese black-and-white sweater with a large bow.

Click through the slideshow to see Mrs. Obama looking casual and cool at dinner last night!

Really this is what we do our time. Read about an outfit the first lady wore more than once. How pathetic this nation has become. There certainly couldn't be anything more important out there. Journalism - what a waste of oxygen and typing.

this women radiates anger and entitlement ,,the new royalty....she is not a warm and fuzzy type..she wears her expensive clothes and goes on her tax payer funded pricey vacations with no regard for how many Americans are suffering financially..."let them eat cake" says Michelle Obama...she has more tax payer funded assistants than any other first lady in history( one for her hair, make up, clothes, etc, etc,etc,etc) The Obama administration if the biggest disaster to ever hit the USA...Wake up People!!! do your research on BO...pretty scary stuff!!

The photos in this article are of the President and First Lady Obama smiling at a casual dinner with average American people given the opportunity to have dinner with the leader and his wife of this country and she "radiates anger & entitlement"? What is with the "new royalty" or do you mean black people in the White House doing and receiving the same treatment to a lesser extent then those before them?

It's okay to say that you don't like them, you wouldn't be the first or the last but at least be honest about it, you know very well that this couple is not being afforded any thing different then any other President and First Lady in fact the treatment is probably the worse of all times and they are more connected to the average american then any President and First Lady and years. Check yourself for the real reason of your dislike and please don't try to find it in flaws in others that you have yourself.

Oh Please faith 2 hope...don't even pull out the race card on me....that is the usual response from people such as yourself....I can care less what color he and his wife are...what I DO care about is their "content of character!!" sound familiar?? I wonder what connects them to the average american??? BO he is NOT an american citizen, he has had a life of entitlement since he was born...free ride in school..never enlisted in military, never started a business, he has a secretive past....this has nothing to do with flaws in myself...I just want a leader that I can look up to and can bring positive change to the only country that stands for freedom, USA....BO has done quite the opposite...R U better off today under his leadership?? MOST people , real people that I know R NOT!!

I support your statement entirely. People claim to "not care about the color of their skin but the content of their character" yet they can not give any real examples of poor character nor can they give great character examples of the previous administrations. Given this country's overtly oppressive past and subtly oppressive present, how can one see the First Black Family and not be inspired. I guess "minorities" are still suppose to be too genetically inferior to understand "coded language".

Mrs. Obama is a very special lady. She radiates warmth and kindness. She is genuinely beautiful on the inside and out. I know our President counts his blessings twice when he thinks of her.

They are the most beautiful first family we have ever had. She is the most beautiful first lady we have ever had. He is the best president we have ever had. They are the best people in the world. Everything she wears is better than anyone else' in the whole world. No one is forcing me to say any of this...

Met Mrs Obama in NC March 3!! She is beautiful inside and out. She has such a beautiful aura that emanates from her. She spoke to and hugged every single person in line waiting for a picture with her.

I now understand why people say they like Obama because of Michelle. I agree. While I'm in love with my president, I love and respect him even more now that I have "met" his beautiful wife. If she loves him, he can't be all bad.

She's the best, most down to earth First Lady we've had in decades. The Obamas are a delight. It's nice to see a true family values family in the White House at long last.

Gosh, they look so comfortable just being together. Takes alot of work, but I admire their courage under fire. And what they're trying to do for our nation.

Michelle needs her staff of "experts" to help her with her pearls & diamonds
& what fashionably goes with this treasure of jewels in this economy which added
over 229 billion to our Debt last month (feb a "short" month).
Mrs. Obama's staff is larger & costs the American tax payer more.
Comparing Laura's 2008 staff payroll to Michelle's 2009 staff payroll.
We pay $491,800 more for Michelle's staff...& like the 15.6 trillion National
debt I'm sure it's going up.

Not really. Every time someone influential (for example, Mrs. Obama and the Duchess of Cambridge) wears something, it flies off the racks. The fashion houses they outfits came from then decide if they want to pump more out--especially in the FLOTUS and Duchess' cases, when they're known for re-wearing favorite pieces. Essentially, Mrs. Obama has created more work for designers like Tracy Reese, just like Duchess Catherine has created work for Jenny Packham and Alexander McQueen.

Meeting and having dinner with them would have been such an honor for me! All I would have wanted is a hug from the Mrs. and a handshake from the President. What an honor!

In my late fifties here, you mean your only supposed to wear a set of clothes once?

Michelle's 2009 staff costs $491,800 more then Laura staff.
Like the 15.6 trillion National Debt I'm sure it's going way up.
