Former President Barack Obama Celebrates his Birthday in Style with Star Studded Martha's Vineyard Bash

The Former President Wore Fendi

Few Presidents past or present could be classified as 'cool.' However, Mr. Barack Obama takes the cake and should be referred to for all future reference, the King of Cool.

From his signature strut, to his basketball skills, to his epic playlists, he always seemed like the most swaggy, down to earth President. He showed us just how 'down' he was with his recent 60th birthday bash, held in Martha's Vineyard. With a guest list that included Eryakah Badu, HER, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, and many more, Barack's bash was the place to be this past weekend.

For what seemed to be a 'laua' themed fete (perhaps a nod to his Hawaiian roots) Mr. Obama wore Fendi. Specifically a Hortensia Floral Printed Button down, which retails for $650 at Nordstrom.

King Cool was, of course, flanked by beautiful women on all sides, from his beautiful wife Mrs. Michelle Obama, who wore custom Dundas, to singer HER, who shined in a sequined Lanvin shirt dress and Fendi slides.

Also in attendance were Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, who wore Lanvin and Givenchy, respectively:

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade also looked picture perfect in Prabal Gurung and Rich Fresh.

Stars even made an entrance deplaning for the festivities in Martha's Vineyard. Erykah Badu could not be missed in a fringed Karla Welch x Levi's Jacket, Jahnkoy pants, and a super coveted pair of Nike x Off White sneakers.

While Barack and Michelle undoubtedly skewed conservative while in the White House, it seems they both have been letting their hair down ever since, and showing that in addition to being exceedingly smart and capable of leading the free world, but they are also stylish.

I mean, how could we ever forget this?
