There are only a few days left before Michelle Obama leaves the White House for good, but, before the iconic FLOTUS makes her big exit, President Barack Obama and more stars paid tribute to her in honor of her 53rd birthday today.

The POTUS kicked things off Tuesday with a sweet post, tweeting, "To the girl from the South Side who took on a role she didn't ask for and made it her own: Happy Birthday, Michelle. I love you."

And while that alone was enough to make us swoon for the rest of the day, more social media posts poured in to help Michelle celebrate her big 5-3.

"Join me in wishing our First Lady @MichelleObama the happiest of birthdays," Kerry Washington captioned a snap on Instagram, which showed her giving a round of applause with the birthday girl by her side.

Ellen DeGeneres also chimed in, sharing a photo of the First Lady from a grocery shopping segment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "Happy birthday, @MichelleObama," she tweeted alongside it. "You're always in my heart. I'm always in your cart."
