Washington DC was flooded with famous faces over the weekend for the 2013 presidential inauguration! The celebrities were more than happy to share their snaps through social media.

Alicia Keys' husband, Swizz Beatz, gushed over his hug with President Barack Obama during The Inaugural Ball. Katy Perry and John Mayer were also at the Ball and snapped a quick photo with Eric Benet and his daughter. At the swearing-in ceremony, Beyoncé Knowles sang the national anthem — it has since been reported that she lip-synched — but not before she got a quick pic with her mum, Tina. Wilmer Valderrama sat in the audience in front of the US Capitol to watch Obama give his big speech.

Barack Obama has been elected president for another fours years, which consequently means that we'll be happily seeing (and reporting) more of Michelle Obama's chic first lady style.

From start to finish, Michelle has been spotted rallying by her husband's side all over the country, clad in her signature mix of high-low wares.

President Obama Wins! See Pictures of His Celebratory Event in Chicago

It's four more years in office for President Barack Obama.

It's four more years in office for President Barack Obama. America re-elected him yesterday for a second term. His supporters were ecstatic while awaiting his official acceptance speech at his election-night watch party in Chicago, and it's apparent that the president appreciates them. Obama tweeted, "This happened because of you. Thank you," and it's already the most retweeted Twitter message of all time.

President Obama again thanked supporters and voters by starting off his speech saying that our country "moves forward because of you." He also had meaningful words for his wife of 20 years, Michelle Obama, and daughters Sasha and Malia, who all joined Barack onstage. He said, "Michelle, I have never loved you more. I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too." Barack then spoke to Sasha and Malia, saying he's seen them grow into two smart and beautiful young women, but joked that "for now, one dog's probably enough." See Obama give his speech alongside his supportive family and fans now!

On Her Style Trail: Michelle Obama's Best Campaign Looks

The US Election results will (hopefully) be known by the end of today, and whilst the future POTUS is the central focus of most news-coverage right now, we're zooming in on the First Lady and her killer campaign wardrobe.

The US Election results will (hopefully) be known by the end of today, and whilst the future POTUS is the central focus of most news-coverage right now, we're zooming in on the First Lady and her killer campaign wardrobe. Known for her penchant for sleeveless sheaths (who wouldn't want to show off those arms?), bold prints, and her eye for emerging designer talent, Michelle Obama regularly leaves us wanting more of her polished sensibility. From start to finish, Michelle has been spotted clad in her signature mix of high-low wares. Think knee-length dresses, sweet cardigan sets, eye-catching costume jewellery, and classic pumps. Our current favourite? Well, you may remember it from her 2008 campaign-style tour de force. Her purple orchid-print Moschino dress got the repeat treatment, with a final rallying twist. That's right. She wore it again to speak to grassroots supporters in Miami, but added a pair of green pumps to give the bold look an extra dose of colour. Now, as we await the final presidential race results, we're looking back on Michelle Obama's best campaign looks for a fresh batch of 9-to-5 styling inspiration.

Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z chatted with President Obama at a fundraiser in NYC last night. Beyoncé and Jay hosted the event at Jay's 40/40 Club in support of Obama's re-election campaign. Beyoncé chose a red dress for the occasion and said to the crowd, "I can't tell you how proud we are to host tonight's event with President Obama. We believe in his vision." The big-money event, the president's second of the day, raised approximately $4 million and featured lavish touches like a tower of 350 champagne bottles.

Barack and Michelle Obama Kiss For the Cam While Watching Team USA

How cute are the Obamas?

How cute are the Obamas? While watching Team USA's basketball team in Washington DC on Monday, President Obama got a do-over. When the kiss cam focused in on the first couple, the president demurred, opting instead to put his arm around Michelle. Perhaps he wanted to spare his teenage daughter Malia some embarrassment, but the crowd wasn't pleased. Since no president running for re-election wants to get booed, when he got a second chance, Barack went for it, planting one on the first lady. See photos of the couple enjoying a date night now!
