I recently saw a photo of US First Lady Michelle Obama in the first state dinner that President Barack Obama has held for Indian Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh and his wife Gursharan Kaur. Mrs. Obama wore a flesh tube gown with exquisite silver beadwork on the bodice. Her muscles are toned and her face is radiant. It was like she lost years on her face, from the time they were merely campaigning for the presidency. She looked lovely.

Indeed, the first lady has metamorphosed into a beautiful butterfly. It was obvious that President Obama is proud of his wife, as he kept looking at her throughout the dinner. Lovely couple.

Mrs. Obama’s dress was made by Naeem Khan, an Indian fashion designer based in the United States. So apt, because the presidential couple entertained the Prime Minister of India.
