Michelle always knows the right things to say to leave a crowd feeling hopeful and inspired. Her speeches over the past 8 years have been so remarkable, some are calling for her to run for president in the year 2020.
3. Flawless Fashions
For the first time in the country’s history, the First Lady embodied as much fashion sense as she did class. Jackie O was fashionable (in a prim & proper way), but Michelle Obama’s glam was so amazing that it’s been deemed “The Obama Effect.”

5. Her Cool Friends
What other FLOTUS do you know who has friendships with some of the biggest/dopest stars of our time? From Beyonce to Kerry Washington to Missy Elliott, Michelle Obama’s hotline is always blinging with A-list friends.
6. Black Girl Magic
Michelle Obama’s unapologetic Blackness is one of her most memorable and admirable qualities. She’s never been shy about embracing her Black girl magic and letting it shine for the world to see.
7. Magazine Covers
It’s one thing to slay looks at every public event she attends. But Mrs. O also has been known to kill it when it comes to gracing magazine covers. She has blessed the covers of Vogue, ESSENCE magazine, TIME and more during her time at the White House.
8. Supporting Barack
They say behind every great man is a great woman; but for Michelle, she’s always standing right next to husband Barack, supporting him through thick and thin. That’s love.
9. Mom Goals
Raising two teenage girls in the public eye has to be one of the most challenging things in the world, but Michelle Obama makes it look effortless. Malia will attend Harvard next fall and Sasha is set to finish high school in D.C.
10. Memorable TV Appearances
From Jimmy Fallon to Sesame Street, FLOTUS’s TV appearances over her two terms in the White House are all iconic, hilarious and unprecedented.
11. Iconic
As the first African-American First Lady of the United States, it’s safe to say that Michelle Obama did an impeccable job holding everything down with grace, ease and pure elegance. There will never be another like Mrs. O and for that, she will be missed.
