Michelle Obama might be a fashion icon today, but she wasn’t so stylish at 17.
A photo of the US First Lady at her high school prom was revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week, to Michelle’s horror.
The teenaged Michelle is dressed in a slinky gold gown with a daring thigh-high split, which the adult Michelle admits was “a little too high”.
Ellen also showed off her own cringe-worthy prom dress on the show, joking it “was once a tablecloth”.
