Michelle Obama
This camera angle from slightly above makes her hair look like it obscures more of her face than I suspect it did in person. The rose-gold color of the dress -- not a color I usually appreciate -- looks marvelous on her. She's hanging back here for POTUS's photo ops, but they stood together and smiled quite warmly at each other for most of their time outside.
FLOTUS
Utter dishy perfection. It cannot have been easy, this road, but she walked it well and with dignity and occasionally in some REALLY FREAKING FANTASTIC clothes.
FLOTUS
A close-up of the material. It flirted so nicely with the camera flashes.
Agnese Landini, FLOTUS, Matteo Renzi, POTUS
Agnese's dress could use a hoik, but otherwise everyone looks nice. This photo makes me think we should be watching a slow-motion video of them walking, set to the Melrose Place theme song. It's West Wing Place. Barack is going to open a REALLY good billiards bar, and Michelle can start her own fashion line, the difference being SHE will pronounce "design" correctly AHEM JANE MANCINI.
FLOTUS and POTUS
"Boo. Our last date night."
FLOTUS and POTUS
"I don't know, Barack, my schedule looks WIDE open around about mid January. Tahiti, perhaps?"
POTUS
"One last time.... relax, have a drink with me one last time... we're gonna teach them how to say goodbye, say goodbye, you and I...."
The Hamilton documentary airs on Friday, and they'd BETTER show the footage of Chris Jackson slaying "One Last Time" in front of the portrait of Washington in the White House, while Obama cries. I just really need to see that. Also, I need the world to watch Chris Jackson sing that song. He is... an honor to hear.
