Obamas in Washington DC for awards dinner

Alongside the president, Mrs. Obama had a Friday filled with hosting international dignitaries in Pittsburgh. But the next day, the official duo returned to Washington, DC in black-tie style for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Annual Phoenix Awards Dinner.

For the special occasion, the First Lady went with Jason Wu, the designer behind her Inaugural Ball gown, in a black knee-length cocktail dress with lace overlay worn with simple black heels.

The LBD was just the thing for the celebratory night.

Want more first lady fashion? Michelle Obama isn't the only first lady who's become a style icon!

If you're lucky you don't know what it's like to be the "fat friend", well that was me, and it isn't fun. I tried everything you ever heard of in an attempt to lose weight. I tried all the excercise programs you ever heard of. There wasn't a diet program that I didn't try. I went through those scam "diet" pills, none of which work, and lost nothing but money. I never gave up trying and then I finally found the blood sugar diet. And I found a supplement ( http://theworldsgreatestsupplement.com ) that was unlike anything I ever tried before because it contained Cembelex. Cembelex helped me maintain a normal blood sugar level, which curbed my carb craivings and helped me end my binge eating. Anyway, I started losing weight rapidly and now I'm the one getting the compliments when we all go out. What a life changer that has been.
