Michelle Obama presented an award to legendary poet and and author Maya Angelou at the 2012 BET Honors which was held in Washington, D.C. on Saturday evening.
The First Lady looked regal wearing a J. Mendel Resort 2012 gown.
I adore the colour of this scarlet organza one-shoulder gown against her skin; she’s truly radiant.
Her chic updo keeps her hair away from that beautiful detail on her shoulder which cascades down the front of her gown.
As always she gets a perfect 10 from me.

A perfect 10 from me as well. Everything is done right. Gorgeous colour and fit, a very complementary updo and simple earrings finish the look perfectly.
i agree
Michelle Obama looks amazing amazing amazing. She looks like she is going 35 in this photo. Who can believe that this woman is going 49! Waoow!
Flawless.
She looks amazing. The colour is gorgeous and i love the shape. This is definitely my BDOTW.
I don’t like her but this is a lovely dress–the color is rich and very flattering.
Stunning look! That colour is just divine against her skin and the fit is flawless. 10 out of 10 from me too.
I don’t like it. I think her shoulders look really broad in this dress and the hemline is a tad too short for my liking. You can see her toes, that really bothers me.
For me, she completely fades into the background next to the lady in white. (she looks familiar, but I can’t remember who she is.)
Gabrielle union
i think her shoulders look broad in all her evening attire and i can never think of a way that she can get around it! when she wears strapless (last year in ralph lauren) or a one shouldered gown like this one it lessens the broad shoulder effect.
this is one of her better looks for me, the style is flattering, the back of the dress is stunning and ger hair is great
Omg, every January she kicks off the year with a fantastic look. Flawless, from the fit and flattering shape and colour to her posture and hair and make-up.
gorgeous!!!she really knows how to dress her body!
I love this color on her, she looks beautiful.
The FLOTUS hits another evening look out of the park. Swooning over the color and hair. I saw a touching picture of Mrs Obama helping the 80+ y.o. poet/novelist Maya Angelou to stand; both women were so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes.
Not sure why people are always complaining about her arms and shoulders (similar to how people complain about Charlene Princess of Monaco’s swimmer’s physique). Michelle Obama is healthy and athletic-looking. I find her physique beautiful, and I applaud her for wearing clothes that show off her attributes. I find it irritating when people imply that women should be ashamed of being muscular and try to hide it.
