Michelle Obama sure knows how to set a party off right.

On Friday night the former FLOTUS attended a Washington, D.C. stop on Bruno Mars' 24K Magic World Tour to give us all hardcore FOMO and some new Instagram pictures to obsess over.

The funky 53-year-old posed with Mars backstage to show off her brand new tour merch — a personalized pinstripe jersey. Can you name a more iconic duo?

Bruno — who clearly knew he was in the presence of greatness — captioned his Instagram, "Mrs. Obama came to the concert and blessed us with her presence," later sharing another photograph of Obama posing with him and his squad of "hooligans."

Though it's unclear if Michelle Obama flew solo to the concert (no Sasha, Malia, or Barack in sight), as we saw from Bruno's performance at the White House's 2015 Independence Day concert, she's a huge fan of the singer.

After enjoying his performance on-stage the former FLOTUS rushed over to give him a big hug and kiss in front of the crowd.
