Both women were impressive and lovely on The View today -- but I have to say that I think Mrs. O looked especially gorgeous. Her earrings looked beautiful with her hair and makeup, and I loved the simplicity and elegance of her outfit. Home run!

The skirt Mrs. O wore was beautiful! Wow!

Monday, April 18, 2011 at 9:39 PM | Unregistered Commenterlittledebie

She looks absolutely regal in that color. Just such a pleasure on the eye! as a matter of fact I will go watch the video again. She works out twice a day? These people put rest of us to shame...in a good and motivating way:)

Mrs. T - <gasp> where does that gorgeous beautiful white skirt come from??

Monday, April 18, 2011 at 11:20 PM | Registered CommenterBevi

And while I'm not one of the 'original' posters to Mrs.O, I have been lurking for awhile now. Is this the first video ever officially posted on Mrs O? just curious...

I must say, Mrs. O really does command the stage in this setting. It is quite obvious that SHE is the First Lady of the United States of America! Even as the colors she's wearing are understated, she totally ROCKS this setting. AbFab as in 'absolutely fabulous!!'

Can't see the video outside the US ;-(

Looks like Chloe to me, specifically the skirt from look 21 from the slideshow at http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2011RTW-CHLOE/
Who knows? Might be. The ballet look seems to be really in right now, and pleats are hot. The First Lady looks really elegant. I love this look on her!

I'm crushed. I can't see it because the viewing is blocked outside of the USA.

@ Jestina - I too am crushed as even YouTube has blocked the video outside the U.S.A.

@ Jestina & trinisamba - try to watch directly on abc. I did and it worked (from France).

Thanks for the link, Bibi. Did you manage to view it Trinisamba?

Both the Commander in chic and Dr Biden look splendid. Michelle's skin looks like porcelain and that skirt is perfect for summer sunshine. Simply gorgeous and has really made my day.

I gasped when I saw the full length of the outfit. It was so 1970s dancer. It's beautiful!

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at 10:01 AM | Unregistered Commenterwillet784

Mrs O looks GREAT!! As does Dr. Biden - these two are such a powerhouse together. As usual after hearing Mrs Obama speaks I fall in love with her a little more.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at 10:11 AM | Unregistered CommenterNPW

I thought the green earrings were nice. Nice touch Mrs. Obama.

@ motley you can view the video at obamadiary.wordpress.com

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at 11:04 AM | Registered CommenterTsetse Johnson

Love this look! And yes, it does give me 1970's dancer. It's gorgeous and flowy and ethereal. And I love the unexpected jade earrings. Just lovely. She looks like an Alvin Ailey dancer.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at 12:03 PM | Unregistered CommenterKels

I am so in love with those green earrings! That pop of color was just what the doctor ordered. FLOTUS and SLOTUS are doing a wonderful job spotlighting the trials and tribulations of our military families. I am so proud of both ladies.
On the fashion front........A+!

Aaaah the dynamic duo! Wow. They both look Totally FAB! - Mrs. O's hair seems to have a new part...I like the almost centered look of it. Yes I agree with my fellow posters...the color, elegant simplicity of the outfit the gorgeous earrings....the red that Mrs. Bidenis wearing....Homerun all around!

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at 12:56 PM | Unregistered CommenterAdear

Great interview - and Mrs. O really glowed beautifully in her ensemble.

Everything was close to perfect !

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at 1:00 PM | Unregistered Commenterriver rush

Mrs. T, (or someone!) please find out designer. Want, want.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at 3:05 PM | Unregistered CommenterLael

@ Bibi - Thank you oh so much for the link
@ Jestina - Yes I did manage to see the video. Mrs.O looked absolutely S-M-A-S-H-I-N-G.Her make-up (you all know I MUST watch that!), her hair...OH WAW!!!, The earrings, the outfit and the shoes............ALL to die for.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at 3:24 PM | Registered Commentertrinisamba

Lovin' Mrs. O's outfit here, and lovin' her message and demeanor. She was in COMMAND.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at 4:15 PM | Registered CommenterIVA

Hi! Long-time lurker here. I want to say that this blog is great, and that Mrs' O's makeup has been perfect as of late. I love her entire look here. She is absolutely beaming.

Also, I thought this was cute: a photo from an upcoming "Joining Forces" PSA with Sesame Street's Elmo and Rosita:

I LOVE the outfit. I still haven't been able to determine the source ;-(

The entire View program, the section with the Ladies starts between the second and third notches but I don't think you can escape the commercials. This link is to the entire program from 4/18.

Such a FIRST CLASS act (intelligent, stylish, gracious, all that!), Michelle Obama is. Her energy seems to brighten up whatever space she enters.What a lady! ...And how does she do it--always seems to choose the perfect color accessory to "pop!" her outfit?

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 1:12 AM | Unregistered CommenterMarcus Perry

A post without the usual suspects and their negativity and wayward opinions. I will cherish this moment.

The look is simple. No fuss. Love the way she sprinkles unexpected color in her outfits. Her ability to do this will become legendary if it already hasn't.

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 2:31 PM | Registered CommenterMcKinley

Both ladies look Fab. Love Mrs O's green earing

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 3:21 PM | Unregistered Commenterunam

I believe the pleated skirt (and possibily the sweater) is from The Row, designed by twins Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 3:49 PM | Unregistered CommenterBeeGee

So pretty and so intelligent.

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 5:02 PM | Unregistered CommenterLisa

InStyle reports that Mrs. O's earrings are by Lucifer vir Honestus, a line created by jeweler Luna Scamuzzi. They're available at Barneys.com for $4,175.

The Daily Mail reported the Mrs. Os dress is by The Row, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's label. The Olsen's have spoken of their committment to manufacturing in the US and Ashley said they would love to dress Michelle Obama so this is a win for everyone! Bravo MIchelle for yet again supporting emerging talent.
