The former first lady, Michelle Obama, is usually seen in formal outfits while also experimenting with slightly bold designs. However, this Christmas, she went ahead and stunned everyone with one of her boldest Alexander McQueen gowns with a plunging neckline. The dress has spaghetti straps, but she chose to cover that up with a full-sleeved shrug/bolero.
This ended up creating a striking neckline with a subtle peek that highlighted the silhouette. The 2005 Spring-Summer design was also adorned with beads to make it more festive, adding to the Christmas charm.
In previous appearances, Michelle has been seen in off-the-shoulder figure-hugging gowns. She often impresses everyone with her fashion choices that are chic yet flirty. In addition, with this Alexander McQueen gown, she has established that her style is timeless.

The second one added, “Lookin great Mr. & Mrs. O.”Another one posted, “Gorgeous dress.” Some people called the dress off-theme for Christmas. One user asked, “Why dress like it’s Halloween?”
Barack Obama also appeared in the photo. Fans noticed that the couple did not color coordinate. He was wearing a tan jacket with a black shirt underneath. Michelle’s stunning dress and smile made her the center of attention.

The couple looked adorable together, once again shutting down the divorce rumors. The couple has repeatedly faced divorce speculation. For instance, Michelle not showing up for Donald Trump’s inauguration was seen as a sign of trouble in their marriage. However, she explained later that she made that decision for herself.
She said on Sophia Bush‘s podcast, “They couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing. This couldn’t be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself, right?”
After that, Barack appeared on Michelle and her brother’s podcast, joking that she took him back. In the same episode, she said they have had adventures and fun, and she has never thought about quitting on Barack. They have remained together through public scrutiny and personal challenges.
