(31,262 posts)profile silhouette, her hair was in an updo (which she rarely does), and it was taken in black & white. It was the most gorgeous pic I had ever seen of her. She's a brilliant lady with style & brains. I'm gonna miss her so much.

It's by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue, and was in the National Portrait Galleryd
But there are B/W ones of it, also:

Our First Lady is completely awesome. That word gets way overused, but, on occasion, it is richly deserved. Michelle Obama definitely deserves the adjective.
Great dress, too.

(2,322 posts)...in living memory (though I suppose Eleanor Roosevelt might be in someone's current living memory as matching her). While I'm absolutely sure Hillary was 100% behind Bill in wanting him to be president, I don't think it was ever her dream to be FLOTUS. FLOTUS takes a really unique skill set that's almost entirely public relations, and I think Hillary would be the first to admit she didn't excel in those. I mean, I don't know if Michelle's dreams included being FLOTUS either, but she took to it like a duck to water, and I'm pretty sure Hillary would be the first to admit that she never really took to the job nor felt natural in it.
But I bet Bill will be noted as the best First Gentleman Not that this is hard given the lack of competition

(17,026 posts)I so hope that rumor about a possible Senate run for her is true. She is such a powerful force in every single way.
That dress is amazing on her. What an elegant, brilliant, wonderful FLOTUS she has been.
