Always The Diva...

Tree topper: Diana Ross looked perfectly dressed to top a Christmas tree in her black and white strapless ballgown at President Obama's Annual Christmas Concert in Washington D.C

Singer Diana Ross is well known for her outlandish couture creations, and her appearance at U.S President Obama's annual TNT Christmas Special in Washington DC was no exception.

Veteran singer Diana, 68, wore a stunning white ballgown to sing at the concert, and she looked perfect enough to pop on top of the giant Christmas Tree on stage.

Diana's white dress took up plenty of room onstage, and the President appeared to have some difficulty getting near her as she threw open her arms for a hug.

Her appearance came as she recovered from breaking her ankle at a party thrown by Naomi Campbell in early November. Still recovering from her injury, the veteran singer dressed up in a long royal blue gown complete with oversized gold pendant and earrings for the festive show.

She later changed outfit to appear onstage with the President, his wife Michelle and their daughters Malia and SashaSporting the festive monochrome gown with silver embroidery, the star performed a duet with actress and singer Megan Hilty. And her floor length gowns successfully hid any sign of  a plaster cast on her ankle.

The 68-year-old proved she is as good as her word - after previously reassuring fans she would be at the celebration. Her spokesman told Mail Online earlier this month: 'Ms Ross accidentally slipped and broke her ankle at the end of a show in India in November. She is fine and has been recovering. She will be performing next week for the President in Washington DC.'

Apparently Ross opened the show with a medley of Sleigh Ride, Jingle Bells and The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, then closed with the show with the rest of the cast with Amazing Grace.

The event will be shown on TNT on December 21st!

Maybe she was hiding a couple of hefty assistants under that skirt and castors to move her around? Jx
