Michelle looked fabulous

Mom-of-two Michelle has arguably become one of the most important First Lady's in American history after her husband Barack Obama was sworn in in 2009.

Her legacy will be detailed along with the personal and political lives of Betty Ford (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Eleanor Roosevelt (Gillian Anderson) in new Showtime series, The First Lady.

"I feel very protective of Michelle," she said. "It's our job as actors not to judge whoever we are portraying, but I ended up thinking she's just dope."
