Michelle Obama Blends Into The Curtains, Reminds Us Of Kim (PHOTOS) | HuffPost Life

PHOTOS: Michelle Obama Blends Into The Curtains

|

Let us preface this by saying that we know Michelle Obama and Kim Kardashian have very, very little in common. Save for being in the same room at the 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner and the president having opinions about them both, Kim and FLOTUS don't share much.

But just this once, we're going to draw a comparison between the first lady of the United States and the first lady of reality television. As one eagle-eyed Twitter follower pointed out to us, Michelle Obama's floral Prabal Gurung dress from yesterday's Mother's Day Tea blended perfectly into the flowery curtains behind her...

Which reminded us of the flower camouflage trick Kim Kardashian pulled at the Met Gala with her hand...

... and with imaginary inanimate objects.

@kimkardashian you make a good sofa twitter.com/TheIsabellaR/s…

It had to be said.

Seriously, she could have blended right in to this sofa:
