Stephen Colbert - Guest Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama On Sending A Message With Fashion And Living In "The People's House"

GRAMMY-winner and best-selling author Michelle Obama says her fashion choices as First Lady were made "carefully, thoughtfully, strategically," as she knew that her appearance spoke volumes and projected a power that words couldn't.

Watch her extended conversation with Stephen Colbert, including Mrs. Obama's comments about the legacy of the East Wing of the White House, and grab a copy of her book, "The Look," available now.

. . . But also down-to-earth and accessible. Classy, but not pretentious. One of the most balanced human beings I've ever observed.

And the dress! Sure, you can't go wrong with A Little Black Dress, but that look can also be predictable and underwhelming. Those added lines of loosely wiggling pearls took the Classic LBD to something just a little funky and fashion forward.

Love that woman!

Thanks, Rhiannon, for posting this up.

Did I mention class? And while she was in the White House, she showed it and us respect — and love.
