Turning DC green with envy! Michelle Obama dazzles at Kennedy Center

[CatWoman]

Michelle Obama dazzled in an teal green gown as the 'Piano Man,' Billy Joel, was awarded the nation's highest honor in Washington Sunday for influencing American culture through the arts.

Joel, one of the world's best-selling artists of all time with such hits as 'Just the Way You Are,' 'Uptown Girl' and 'Allentown' joined Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock, opera star Martina Arroyo and actress Shirley MacLaine in receiving the Kennedy Center Honors in a star-studded event.

All of them have been playing music, dancing or singing since they were children and Joel said the honor stands apart from his six Grammys.

4. I can't think of words that will do her justice . . . I'm just addled here . . .

[HipChick]

5. Gorgeous! And I adore her arm candy..

[Recursion]

6. I don't like when people focus on the looks of women who are public figures...

... but, damn, she is an incredibly beautiful woman.

[Granny M]

9. I know we shouldn't.

But that is an incredibly beautiful dress that looks fantastic on her.. I can't help it.. I'm a girl.

10. Also a First Lady is different from a cabinet or elected position

Since her job is in large part ceremonial, clothing plays a role.

12. i think it's ok in these type of events, it's different from a woman who is discussing policy

or some other thing which has to do with work and people talk about her looks instead of what she is saying and doing.

16. kicking this for us later morning risers.....

She's beautiful, and that guy she's with, oh yah, he aint bad either.

[Skidmore]

17. That gown is just stunning.

The seamstress who did the drapery on the bodice is a true craftsman and the designer understood what fits the woman and the occasion.

[Orrex]

18. She could totally do better than that guy she's with

Forgive me a moment of shallowness when I say:
Hottest Presidential Couple Ever!

19. Mrs. Obama always radiates class and grace-a natural beauty. But that

dress is just bad. The waist looks unfinished, incomplete. The draped shoulders just make me hold my breath because I'm afraid the whole thing is going to fall down...

The color is lovely, and the way the fabric moves below the waist is lovely. But what's wrong with that dress outweighs what's right.

Flame away.

20. Simply gorgeous!

What a fabulous couple!

21. Stunning is the word
