We all have our embarrassing high school photos. (Mine involves fire-engine red hair, in case you were curious.) But the ever-chic Michelle Obama somehow managed to take a rather foxy prom night shot. Check it out after the cut!
The photo was revealed on Ellen this week, where the host “retaliated” for losing a push-up contest against Michelle by airing this shot. Though Ellen was kind enough to show her own prom photo as well:
Dang, Michelle (sorry, Ellen, I have no words for you)! Way to rock a head-turning dress! At my prom, we weren’t allowed to wear strapless gowns, much less ones with ultra-high slits. I settled for a shiny silver number with a shawl, which was not quite as memorable as this.
What do you think of Michelle’s dress? What did you wear to prom?

I will never be as fierce as Michelle Obama. I’ve accepted it at this point.

She was a hottie! Also, my mom used to have that EXACT SAME wicker plant stand. Ah, furniture of the 70s

I agree with SuburbanSweetheart. Classy and beautiful. I have no words for Ellen either, haha.

@Erika_Steele@xanga - Wicker furniture in old pictures like this always makes me laugh. My mom’s senior picture had pretty much this exact chair AND some macrame in it, I think.

Whatever…Michelle Obama is gross.
guest
At first I thought the back of the chair she’s sitting in was a weird giant hat. LOL.

@voicimessecrets@xanga - What you wear makes you fierce?
No wonder women aren’t in office.

@raised_bywolves@xanga - Platforms?
And hey! That’s not Barack

@DontTurnAway@xanga - loooool because I’m the official representative for all women. Your comment doesn’t even make sense. No wonder sexists aren’t in office LOL
guest
@voicimessecrets@xanga - I’m sorry you don’t have the capacity to understand what I actually mean.
guest
Beautiful
I wore a simple prom dress that hundreds of other girls probably wore as well.

@DontTurnAway@xanga - Because a) it’s totally flawed logic and b) it’s not really even a cohesive train of thought.
What’s wrong with saying someone is fierce because they look confident in a great outfit? And if there is something wrong with that, how does this translate into women not being in office? Is it because I’m appreciating Michelle Obama’s style and clearly too shallow to be in office and represent all women as being too shallow? Because that’s just stupid. Because of a one sentence comment on a fashion blog, I’ve made a statement that illustrates no woman is capable of being president. I think I “get” what you’re saying; your claim is just based on flawed logic.

@voicimessecrets@xanga - I base my opinion on people based on how they act, not how they look.
Am I really the only one that believes this?

@DontTurnAway@xanga - what does that have to do with the things I pointed out? Derailing.
