At last night’s Neighborhood Inaugural Ball, a creation by Barack Obama and his staff, the new President and First Lady danced like teenagers in love while Beyoncé sang Etta James’ song “At Last”. For once, we got to watch two people with rhythm—not to mention genuine affection for one another—dance the first dance as the First Couple.
Puppy Love in the Oval Office.
Barack Obama has shown his ability to dance before, at venues ranging from the Ellen DeGeneres Show to the Inauguration yesterday, when he and Michelle danced while watching his Inaugural Parade. Barack and Michelle Obama have also never been shy about their puppy-love, with PDAs plastered all over every website, newspaper, and television station. It would be too much to ask for a new Presidential baby, but you can bet the Obamas will be, at the very least, going through the motions (so to speak).
Michelle Obama, wearing relatively-unknown designer Jason Wu, was also rocking some serious ice. She wore shoulder-sweeping diamond earrings, an oversized diamond ring on her left middle finger, and a diamond bracelet. Before all the nay-sayers gets their panties in a bunch, remember that celebrities borrow jewelry all the time, and if there is one thing that Barack and Michelle Obama have become over the last year, it is THE celebrity couple. Michelle Obama’s got style, but she doesn’t flaunt wealth. She prefers lesser-known designers and subtle jewelry. Even Sasha and Malia Obama, the adorable First Kids, were wearing J. Crew, not Dolce & Gabbana. So she pulled out all the stops for last night. It was not just an occasion. It was THE occasion. During the Neighborhood Ball, held at Washington’s Convention Center, Barack Obama asked the crowd: “First of all, how good-looking is my wife?”
Oh, come ON. It isn’t fair. There’s only one of him and about 47 million single American women. It’s too unfair. But if we have to lose him to someone, better that it is to Michelle than anyone else. Did you see the pythons on that woman? No doubt she would not only fight for her man, but she’d probably win.
Beyoncé, our habitual Wearer-of-Tiny-Clothes and Stealer-of-Every-Scene, wore a toned-down yet elegant dress, and didn’t make the spectacle of herself that she normally does. Perhaps her endless need for attention—and inability to not showcase her posterior—were put aside in honor of the event. With tears welling up in her eyes as she sang, she was focused on Barack and Michelle Obama, rather than how her rear-end may or may not be shaking. Even she seemed to realize that she was not merely singing a love song from a woman to a man, but from a country to its new President.
The Coolest First Couple Ever.
At last, he is ours.
