Michelle Obama dropped jaws Sunday evening in a festive blue and black patterned gown to salute recipients at the 38th Annual Kennedy Center Honors in Washington.
The strapless silhouette accentuated her amazing arms, and the swirly blue pattern felt festive for the holiday season and popped of the black tulle base of the design. She wore her hair slicked back in a pin-straight style and accessorized with mega statement earrings.
Sunday’s Kennedy Center Honors were filled with moments both light and moving.
