Michelle Obama: First Lady Turns 52 — Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Michelle Obama! The First Lady and fashion icon turned 52 on Jan. 17 and what a year she’s had! Join us in celebrating her special day by taking a look back at her most memorable moments from her 51st year!

It’s Michelle Obama’s birthday! As she turns another year older, let’s remember all that went down over the past 365 days. There isn’t a moment when Michelle doesn’t look spectacular. No matter if she’s promoting a good cause, attending an event, or escorting her husband, Michelle is bound to wow in both appearance and spirit. In celebration of her big day, let’s take a look at some of her best moments from the past year, shall we?

As part of Michelle’s Let’s Move! program, Cooking Light declared Michelle the “First Lady of Food” and featured her on the cover of their February issue. This was an important moment in Michelle’s year because she was able to promote the issue of childhood obesity, a cause close to her heart, to a wide audience in a very down-to-earth, personal way. Way to slay, Michelle!

But perhaps Michelle’s most hilarious moment of the year was when she laid it down and showed us even First Ladies can rap! In her viral video with Saturday Night Live star Jay Pharoah, Michelle spit some rhymes while promoting college education. How cool is that?!

But not only did Michelle DO amazing things, she also LOOKED amazing doing them! In Jan. 2016, the first lady wowed in a subdued orange dress while attending her husband, President Barack Obama’s, last State of the Union Address in Washington D.C. It was a brilliant choice for such a monumental night, and Michelle rocked it in every way!

And let’s not forget the epic gown she wore in Sept. 2015 to the Chinese State Dinner held in Washington D.C. Her curve-hugging, off-the-shoulder dress was perfection, and the rest of the world agreed. Although Michelle looks fantastic in everything, we loved this classic black dress for such a formal and worldly event.

Yes, Michelle has proven time after time that she is a superstar of a First Lady. So once again, happy birthday, Michelle! We hope this is your best year yet!
