In this case, the stars were international dignitaries arriving for the G20 summit's opening dinner.
Not ones to disappoint, our very own national hosts, President and Mrs. Obama, stepped out looking modern as ever.
Michelle Obama donned a taupe and pink printed dress from one of her fashion favorites, Thakoon.
The spaghetti-strapped number featured a shirred fitted bodice -- baring the First Lady's toned arms -- and a long loose skirt that fell just below the knee.
Keeping it classy, the style icon topped off her evening ensemble with a single strand of pearls and pearl stud earrings.

What's your take? Is Mrs. O's Thakoon dress refreshing or should she have gone conservative in a more "official" outfit? Leave a comment below.
Michelle Obama has been mixing it up recently, from her signature cinched cardigan-skirt combos to polished Jackie O.-style suits. See more of the First Lady's trendsetting looks in the below gallery.

Working as an esthetician women have always asked what they can do about their wrinkles and how to keep looking young. I always recommend just one skincare product, I tell them about Beauty Lift http://BeautyLift.notlong.com and how it contains the most potent, doctor grade wrinkle erasing serum that revitalizes the skin and reduces signs of aging. It's much better, safer, and less expensive than Botox. They always come back to tell me how great it is and how much younger they look. It’s a great product and I back it up 100%.

I was lucky enough to never have been overweight in my life. That all ended after the birth of my second child. I got down to 20 pounds over my normal weight but no matter what I did I couldn't lose the rest. I didn't know if was age catching up with me or if somehow my metabolism changed. Whatever the reason, nothing was working. I tried all the bogus "diet" pills that we see all over the internet, but are just scams. All I ever lost with that stuff was money. One of my friends, knowing what I was going through, told me that she had been losing weight using a special plan http://bit.ly/FatLoss4You It laid out the facts in a way I never saw before and had easy to follow meal plans and diets. Not only have I lost the weight and kept it off but I'm leading a healthier lifestyle, mostly from the knowledge I gained from this amazing program.

She looks like she is ready for a barbecue! Either that
or making an announcement she is 7 months pregnant.
Mrs. Obama is a large framed, flat chested woman. She looks totally silly and ridiculous in that strappy dress.
The dress is inappropriate for the occassion.
She needs to quit focusing on her "toned" arms..and
find a designer that creates clothes to flatter her large
boned, flat chested, big butted, and bowed leg figure.

I have always been very afraid of aging, you know, becoming old and useless and unattractive. When I turned 50, I decided to do something about it. I've spent fortunes on face creams and anti-aging serums… but using GenFX is the first time I've tried turning back the clock from the inside out. It's also the last time I'll spend a fortune on face creams! Now everyone says I look 35!

I think that Michelle O'Bama would look much better in
whatever she wears if she would just hold her shoulder
up. She keeps hunching them over so much.

Hardly stunning. The woman really needs to wear sleeves for formal functions.

Oh whats the matter you flat white butt can't fit in anything flattering that u have to talk about our 1st lady. i think she is a very well put together woman and we should all be lucky enough to have her figure.
Cherylann 9-26-2009 @ 4:44PM
There's no written rule saying you need to wear sleeves. Where in the heck did you pick that one up from? Your own personal preference perhaps? She looks classy, young and stunning.
south texas 9-26-2009 @ 5:38PM
Are you the style police now? She looks great, you must be one of those fat ladies that sits on the couch judging how others look. It doesn't matter what she wears, you will have something negative to say about it. If she DID have sleeves on, you probably would have said they were too long or too short or SOMETHING. Get a life you idiot. She is a wonderful woman no matter what she wears.

Ph you are so right ....
please try to be appropriate
CK 9-27-2009 @ 12:23PM
Maybe in your trailer park but anyone with even a shred of fashion sense knows that is not true.
vincenzo 9-27-2009 @ 2:03PM
"Hardly stunning " is an understatement! Michele Obama needs to go shopping at Pet Smart or some other outlet that sells pet clothing........She looks like a cross between a pug and a bulldog for goodness sake!
Glorious 9-29-2009 @ 5:05PM
Actually there IS a "rule" for going strapless and people with style and taste know that. Bare arms are not appropriate or respectful in certain settings. But since neither of the obamas respect anyone, WTH! Wear what you want! CK, south texas and the rest of you poor deluded obama butt kissers, the woman is NOT stunning. Stunningly average, perhaps. Geez are you BLIND??
