First Lady Michelle Obama welcomed spring with a warm embrace this week when she wore a floral gown to the White House state dinner in honor of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

FLOTUS donned the strapless deep blue gown Thursday evening alongside President Barack Obama, Minster Trudeau, and his wife, Sophie Trudeau. Obama’s gown was designed by Jason Wu, a designer she has frequently worn in the past.

What made the choice even more admirable was Wu’s hometown connection to Canada, The Huffington Post reports.

Sasha and Malia Obama also looked gorgeous at the dinner, reminding us how fast they’ve grown!

1. Wow, what a beautiful family

Amazing.

[Recursion]

2. Damn

Love her heels. Holy crap.

Also. Some men feel required to fall into a tux.

Obama was sculpted into one. That man can wear formal. That's something I kind of demand of a President.

[Stellar]

8. That slit in the dress actually was higher than what is shown and it looked gorgeous. nt

3. Stunningly beautiful women!

Stunningly beautiful family!

Best of all, that beauty begins from the inside out!

[Recursion]

4. Those heels...

Amazing

[BlueMTexpat]

9. I am in awe of any woman who can

actually wear them and not break her neck!

[Recursion]

10. My ankles are too fat :)

And, yeah, I agree

[Chitown Kev]

14. I noticed that

FLOTUS is working those heels

[UtahLib]

5. Stunning in every way possible!

[narnian60]

7. +1

[oldandhappy]

6. INCREDIBLE!

Grateful for this president. And he sure look happy to be striding out with his FLOTUS!

[Recursion]

11. So many male politicians look unwillingly poured into a tux

Obama wears one like it's nothing.

[brer cat]

12. And PBO's look says...

she's all mine, fellas. LOL Sasha and Malia are lovely and all grown up!!

[Kind of Blue]

13. Knock-out couple and gorgeous offspring.

Just Wow!

[Chitown Kev]

15. Jackie Kennedy

was the only other FLOTUS able to get away with the strapless look like Michelle Obama does.

What I also like about Michelle Obama is that while she occasionally uses some of the traditional designers, she gives a lot of play to new and upcoming designers.

And...damn, we've seen Sasha and Malia grow up before our eyes...

[Quayblue]

22. This is such stuff dreams are made on!

Just absolutely postively crazy enchantment.

Thank You!

[Stellar]

23. Oh my gosh...such beautiful young ladies!

I know the President is proud of his family.

[Number23]

24. She DAMN sure did.

They showed a picture of all four of them together in front of the White House and it took me 20 whole seconds before I could tear my eyes away from Michelle and even glance at the other three people in the picture.

EVERYTHING was perfection. Her hair, shoes. But the dress was simply sublime and she killed in it. This was the pic that I saw:

54. Is Prime Minister Cutie NOT wearing a cummerbund?

And not buttoning his jacket either?

The Obama family always looks so damn sharp. All four of them. Tall, slim, classy, gorgeous all the way. Great "clotheshorses", to use an old expression. A clotheshorse is someone who basically looks good in their clothes like a model. Tall and slim helps a whole lot.

I'm not sure about that purple and orange thing Miss Sophie has on.

[lovemydog]

25. An absolutely fabulous look on her.

Haha, I just noticed I said absolutely fabulous. That was a great tv show back in the day. 'Ab Fab!'

[Tarheel_Dem]

31. Patsy & Edina would be so proud, but Saffron would almost certainly disagree, Sweetie Dahling.

[lovemydog]

34. Yay!

[starroute]

38. You'll be glad to know it's coming back round as a movie.

45. Very cool. Thanks!

[Scootaloo]

26. I love the presdient's expression in that first photo.

"Yeah, that's right, that's me walking with her."

[NBachers]

27. Witness and appreciate these days while we have them. This is world-class class here.

[narnian60]

37. Well said.

[CoffeeCat]

28. Wow. Michelle is a vision!

I truly think that she is one of the most beautiful women in the world.

She has impeccable style!

[MFM008]

29. cant believe how the girls have grown

[Stellar]

43. mmm...Dinner sounds delicious!!!

As Richard Pryor would say, "get me some biscuits, I'm sopping up everything".

[Manifestor_of_Light]

55. I remember the Prime Minister's parents, Pierre and Margaret.

Pierre was very much the dignified gentleman. Margaret made the news with her disco-hopping. She was much younger than Pierre. I am glad that Justin seems to have turned out to be another statesman.

[Kind of Blue]

56. Hear! Hear!

[Blasphemer]

42. She's always looked amazing but this last year, she's taken it to a whole 'nother level

Her gowns, in particularly, have been eye-poppingly on point.

[gollygee]

46. That whole family has style like nobody's business

I'm bummed out that they'll be leaving the White House.

[politicasista]

48. They all looked great!

The First Lady's section and the Obama Presidential Library are going to be exciting and fascinating to visit.

[JI7]

49. hi

[politicasista]

53. Hi to you

Nice to see you are still here too. Hope you are doing well.

[betsuni]

50. The look on the President's face in the first photo is because just before they came out

Michelle nodded in the affirmative after he winked at her suggestively and whispered, "Tonight?"
I'm pretty sure I'm correct about this.

[chillfactor]

51. What a beautiful family!

The pictures take my breath away!

[PatrickforO]

52. I haven't always agreed with Obama's policies, but the Obamas are a wonderful

family that all Americans can be proud of. They are fine people.

[uponit7771]

57. Could you imagine who their husbands will be? WOW stunning young ladies
