Last evening, President Obama and the First Lady were joined by Vice President Biden and Dr. Biden for 'A Concert for Hope' held at the Kennedy Center in Washington to mark the tenth anniversary of 9/11. For the concert, Mrs. O wore a Prabal Gurung at J.Crew Exploding bow blouse paired with a slim black pencil skirt (or possibly trousers?). A stack of bangles completed the chic black and white look. Dr. Biden opted for a lace cocktail dress, embellished with a ribbon belt at the waist.

Finally we get a full look at Mrs. O's Prabal Gurung gown, worn for the 2011 Governors Dinner. And is it gorgeous! The color of the gown is simply divine on the First Lady.

Tonight marks two glamour-filled events: the Oscars, and yes, the annual White House Governors Dinner. A first peek reveals Mrs. O dressed in a chartreuse silk crepe one-shoulder gown with asymmetrical hem by Prabal Gurung, accessorized with statement floral earrings.

P.S. This year, like last, there are limited photos. Fingers crossed for a White House Flickr update!

Mrs. O and Oprah Unite

Mrs. O will join Tom Brokaw and Bob Woodward for Oprah's "The Bravest Families in America" episode, on air tomorrow. To read up on the episode, People.com has a post here.

While fashion is not the main focus tomorrow, Mrs. O's dress and necklace demand a quick mention. For the appearance, the First Lady recycles a purple wool crepe dress by Prabal Gurung, first seen on the campaign trail in October, here. Mrs. O paired her frock with a fabulous FALLON Victoria Royale necklace from Fall Winter 2010.

For those who use Twitter, there was a quite a bit of excitment between @PrabalGurung and @FentonFallon regarding the pairing. So much so that it prompted this article:

The first lady continued her campaigning efforts today, speaking on behalf of Connecticut Democrat Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal in Stamford. For the appearance, Mrs. O turned to a hot pink sheath dress and classic pearls.

Fashion is certainly on the first lady's agenda today, as she is scheduled to attend a dinner hosted by Donna Karan in New York City this evening!

Update: The first lady wore a purple wool crepe dress by Prabal Gurung.
