Hollywood’s elite showed up and showed out for President Barack Obama’s 55th birthday party, held at the White House on Friday, August 6.
Considering this was Obama’s final birthday celebration in the presidential home, first lady Michelle Obama made sure her husband partied in style — hosting an epic birthday bash that included the likes of long time friends Beyoncé and Jay Z, as well as rapper Kendrick Lamar, Stevie Wonder, and R&B crooner John Legend.
