@MichelleObama Steals the State of the Union Address!

Though President Obama was giving his State of the Union Address brilliantly, Michelle Obama shined just a little bit brighter in her sapphire blue Barbara Tfank sheath dress.

Now, before everyone starts in on the fact that I look a little bit like the First Lady, let’s admire the designer for a second.

I never heard of Barbara until this fabulous number showed up last night. She is a Hollywood costumer designer turned fashion designer with a collection showing up in Barneys New York. Originally from New York, Barbara started costume designing for films such as A Midnight Clear, Dream Lover and my guilty pleasure movie Beautician and the Beast. After graduating with a Master’s from Stanford, Barbara apprenticed with Cesarani. But Michelle Obama is not Barbara’s first foray in the spotlight since she styled the below gorgeous Prada gown that Uma Thurman wore for the Academy Awards.
