Michelle Obama says hubby's gray hair is 'sexy'

By Maria Puente, USA TODAY

Michelle Obama says she's seeing a lot more gray hair on her husband's head these days, but that's OK because she thinks it's "sexy."

The first lady accompanied President Obama to New York for two days of politics and diplomacy, including a presidential address to the UN General Assembly on Wednesday and Mrs. Obama's speech Tuesday at a rally/luncheon for Democratic women.

Late Tuesday, the Obamas attended another Democratic Party fundraiser and she introduced him, telling the audience that people are always asking her "how has he changed" after two-and-a-half years in the White House.

"The only difference that I can think of is that the salt is starting to catch up with the pepper in his hair," she said as the audience laughed. "I think it's quite sexy, but it's coming."

Big kiss and embrace followed. The president teased that his wife is "getting cuter."

"She is remarkable, and it is the reason that I've got remarkable kids," he said. "I have improved my gene pool." Lots of laughter at that.

Mrs. Obama looked plenty hot herself in a black halter-top gown, her hair up and sparkly earrings dangling. Earlier, when the couple arrived in New York, she was in a colorful ensemble, mixing a multi-print silk dress by Duro Olowu with a yellow cardigan, red belt and orange flats.

At the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday afternoon, she looked on from the audience wearing what appeared to be the L'Wren Scott burgundy jacquard dress she wore recently on the cover of the AARP Magazine, with the matching jacket.
