The high-waisted belt is also one of the FLOTUS’ trademark looks.
Her new bangs, Jimmy Choo shoes and a Kimberly McDonald ring made her a vision on the evening of President Barack Obama’s inauguration.

Leave it to Michelle Obama to take the high road. Pun sort of intended.
While appearing on The Daily Show to promote her newest book, American Grown, the First Lady was asked about President Barack Obama’s pot-smoking past.
Stewart likened Obama’s youth to “the script of a Cheech and Chong movie.” Not surprisingly, the Commander-in-Chief’s better half had a classy response.
“He was like many young people,” she said, adding that her husband changed his ways in college when “he realized he could do more with his life.”
Stewart later tried to a comparison between President Obama and George

Sometimes his points are clouded by obvious hatred and racism, however.
After Sunday’s NASCAR race at which Michelle Obama and Jill Biden were booed, Limbaugh defended the fans who did so, while calling the First Lady “uppity” …
