With the election in full swing, it's a mere few months until the Obamas have to leave the White House. And we can’t help but wonder how we will be able to manage without First Lady Michelle.
From her inspirational speeches designed to empower young women to her hilarious anecdotes (did you know that she had a sleepover with the Queen?) - we take a look back at her most memorable moments in office.
When Michelle turned it up for children everywhere
Michelle is renowned for her dedication to encouraging young people to live healthier lives, no matter what it takes. Back in 2014, Michelle re-emphasised this with a Vine which turned viral.
The First Lady put an unlikely spin on hit Turn Down for What. The six-second clip entitled, Turnip For What?, was inspired by the White House planting turnips in the gardens and soon became an internet sensation with almost 50 million views. If only our parents could master social media in such a way.
When she made a guest appearance on Gilmore Girls
Who better to help you plan your summer reading list than self-proclaimed book enthusiast Rory Gilmore? Michelle Obama teased her guest appearance on Snapchat and fans of the cult noughties show cannot wait for the re-boot i.e. us. Bring on November 25.
When Michelle rapped with Missy Elliott
Carpool Karaoke is a hit with the celebs but what we didn’t expect was to find the First Lady in the passenger seat of James Corden’s car.
From Stevie Wonder’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered to Beyonce’s Single Ladies, we have never wanted to sing to the radio with anyone more. All of which was of course before Missy Elliott joined the pair on the back seat for a rendition of Get Ur Freak On. It has been eight years since Michelle has let loose in a car after all…
When she had a sleepover at the Palace with the Queen
Yes, seriously. When making a guest appearance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the First Lady revealed the highlight of her time in the White House. And it wasn’t what we were expecting.

Michelle spoke of how she once had a sleepover with the Queen at Buckingham Palace before requesting some French fries. You can take the First Lady out of the White House…
When she perfected 'mum dancing'
From the ‘go shopping, get groceries’ to ‘only the hands part of Single Ladies’, Michelle helped Jimmy Fallon demonstrate the evolution of mum dancing.
And it’s safe to say that the First Lady proved she’s just like any normal mum out there. In fact, we wouldn’t mind taking her on a night out…
When she inspired girls across the globe on International Women's Day
Michelle celebrated the first year anniversary of Let Girls Learn with a speech addressing the issues surrounding women's employment rights, gender discrimination and domestic abuse. The First Lady inspired young girls to study, work hard and transform the futures of others in what was a hugely motivational speech.
When Michelle rapped (again) to encourage kids to go to college
'Fill your head with knowledge'. It was undoubtedly catchy. Joined by Saturday Night Live comedian Jay Pharoah, Michelle made her debut music video in the grounds of the White House designed to encourage teens to pursure higher education.
We can't imagine daughters Malia and Sasha were impressed...
