Michelle Obama Curls Steal Spotlight at Correspondents' Dinner

Michelle Obama's unexpected curls, unveiled Saturday at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, received nearly as much attention on Twitter as her husband's stand-up comedy routine.

The first lady, 51, arrived at the Washington Hilton hotel in a steel gray Zac Posen gown and wearing teardrop earrings. The tight curls were a notable departure from her usual straight hair.

Twitter buzzed with reactions to Obama's appearance.

We've never seen @FLOTUS hair like this, but we totally approve. http://t.co/mehV1YMwXn pic.twitter.com/yX1jsM0M6W
