President Obama's Birthday Party Guest List is Better Than Yours
First Lady Michelle Obama is great at a lot of things-being active, female empowerment, carpool karaoke and, apparently, hosting killer birthday parties. In honor of her husband Barack Obama's 55th birthday yesterday, FLOTUS is throwing the president a celebration at the White House tonight with a star-studded guest list.
Expected attendees include: Beyoncé, Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, Jason Wu, Usher, Sarah Jessica Parker, Stevie Wonder, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Magic Johnson and Alonzo Mourning.
The roster, though impressive, comes as no surprise. Beyoncé and Jay Z are known to be friends with the Obamas and have several White House visits under their belt, including this year's Easter Egg Roll with their daughter Blue Ivy and performances at both of President Obama's inaugurations. Lamar is the President's favorite rapper; Wu designed both of FLOTUS' inauguration gowns; and Wonder, Hudson and Usher have performed at various POTUS-hosted events too.
Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Attorney General Loretta Lynch will reportedly be in attendance, as well. The party's full guest list and performances will be kept top-secret, and the fête itself will be private-meaning social media will be banned at the event.
After being treated to her own memorable 50th birthday two years ago-featuring a performance by Beyoncé and a serenade from John Legend-Michelle is now taking her turn at planning. Here's hoping for more moments like these tonight:
