The former first lady wore a custom dress from the Jason Wu collection.
“Too often in this country people feel like they have to look a certain way or act a certain way to fit in, that they have to make a lot of money or belong to a certain group, to a certain class or religion to matter,” Michelle said at the unveiling. “But what we are looking at today – a portrait of a biracial child with an unusual name and the daughter of a water pump operator and a stay-at-home mom – what we see is a reminder that he there is a place for everyone in this country,”
Michelle and Barack were all smiles at the event, as it’s obvious they’re still in love after getting married in 1992! To celebrate their last anniversary in October, Michelle posted side-by-side photos of herself with the former POTUS, one recent and the other retrospective. “How it started vs how it goes,” she wrote in the caption. “Happy birthday, Barack, I love you!”
Barack also took to Instagram, writing, “Loved watching the world get to know you not just as a South Side girl, but as a mother, lawyer, executive, author, First Lady and my best friend. I can’t imagine life without you.
