Michelle Obama Steals the Spotlight Away From Barack at Their Last State Dinner

Oct 19 2016 - 12:30pm

Barack and Michelle Obama [1] hosted their final state dinner at the White House on Tuesday night. Michelle stunned in a rose gold Atelier Versace gown [2] as she and Barack welcomed Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and his wife, Agnese Landini. The soiree included a menu prepared by celebrity chef Mario Batali [3] and a guest list full of stars such as Jerry Seinfeld [4], Giorgio Armani, and Gwen Stefani [5].

Earlier in the day, Barack took the stage to speak to a crowd of students at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School [6] in Washington DC and used the opportunity to poke fun at his teenage daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama. "I know you may have been waiting here a while," he said. "Good thing you had your phones with you." He then impersonated the texting girls, saying in a funny voice, "And then he said . . . 'Girl, I couldn't believe it,'" before showing off his master selfie-taking skills. While we'll definitely miss seeing Barack and Michelle, at least we have their cute moments [7] to hold onto.
