President Obama’s fifth State of the Union address took place on Feb. 12, and while Barack delivered an important message, his right hand woman Michelle supported him in sparkly wine-colored dress.

President Barack Obama took to the stand to deliver this year’s State of the Union address, and all ears were on him as he talked about the economy, immigration, gun control and violence, and climate change. But all eyes were on his lovely wife Michelle Obama who wowed the room in another Jason Wu dress! Michelle wore a wine-colored A-line dress, with a black collar from the 2013 pre fall collection, and a pretty Alexis Bittar floral brooch.

Michelle Obama’s State Of The Union Dress

Michelle dressed in winter colors when she arrived at Congress for the speech, and she was greeted with polite applause when she entered the room. Rocking her spikey bangs — which she has had trimmed to look less heavy — Michelle wore a high necked, A-line dress with a floral brooch, that had a black collar and glitzy maroon body. So pretty!

Once again, Michelle wears the perfect outfit for the occasion! Twitter was awash with comments about her bare arms, and how fabulous her bangs are.

However, what was most noticeable about Michelle’s entrance was not what she was wearing, but who she greeted first. Michelle went to stand beside Cleopatra Pendleton and her husband Nathaniel, the parents of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, who was tragically shot and killed a week after performing at the Presidential Inauguration on Jan. 21. Michelle attended her funeral earlier this month.

The designer of Michelle’s dress is yet to be revealed, but we know that Michelle is a big fan of both Jason Wu and J Crew, so it could be one of their designs. Either way, she looks amazing!

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Does Michelle look amazing? Do YOU like her dress?

President Obama salutes the struggles of the representative and the heroes of Arizona.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords entered a rehabilitation center on Jan. 26, following doctors’ upgrade of her condition from “serious” to “good,” reports The Washington Post.

The representative, 40, will continue her recovery at Houston’s TIRR Memorial Hermann rehabilitation center, a very positive move from her stay at the Memorial Hermann Texas Medical Center, where she’s been healing since Friday.

“Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has made strong progress in the Neuro ICU,” hospital representatives said before the transition. “This evening, her doctors upgraded her condition from serious to good and determined that she is ready to move.”

As the logistics of her transfer were being developed, President Obama delivered his State of the Union address, which offered several nods to the Arizona tragedy. In addition to verbal well-wishes sent to Gabrielle and the other victims, the crowd was adorned with black-and-white ribbons, worn over the heart to represent those shot on Jan. 8.

Gabrielle and her husband Mark Kelly watched the speech on television, and he held her hand throughout the address.

We wish Gabby a continued speedy recovery!
