Ever one to buck the trend, Whoopi Goldberg showed up in basic (very basic) black.

Eva has it wrong. "Tiny" is not a word to associate with Michelle Obama.
"Presence" would be more appropriate.
We are all fortunate to have her there, including especially Barack. She is fortunate too.
God bless us all.
