A slew of stars flocked to the White House Friday night to honor President Barrack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at their farewell party.
Attendees included George Clooney and Amal Clooney, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Bradley Cooper, Steven Spielberg, Olivia Wild, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Kelly Rowland and her husband Tim Witherspoon, rapper Wale, La La Anthony, SNL alum Jay Pharoah—who parodied the president on the NBC show, Usher, Magic Johnson, Lorne Michaels, Tracy Ellis Ross, Oprah Winfrey and more celebrities were in attendance.
Some of the guests posted photos from the bash, which the White House
had said the president and the First Lady would pay for themselves. No
pics of them were released publicly. See more pics below:
The
party took place hours after Michelle gave her last public remarks as
first lady. She had made a speech honoring the 2017 School Counselor of
the Year and counselors from across the country in the East Room of the
White House.
"I
want our young people to know that they matter, that they belong," she
said. "So don't be afraid—you hear me, young people? Don't be afraid. Be
focused. Be determined. Be hopeful. Be empowered. Empower yourselves
with a good education, then get out there and use that education to
build a country worthy of your boundless promise. Lead by example with
hope, never fear."
