Thomas wasn’t the only one blown away by the first lady’s dress, also known as THE DRESS.

I don't care what ANYONE says. @MichelleObama is/will always be the definition of how women should dress at her age. She is FABULOUS!

Update: Thomas has reconsidered her original tweet.

@michellemalkin I will admit I do like the First Lady's dress but the Beyonce reference went to far. Thanks for making me think about it.
