Parker Curry, the 3-year-old girl who melted the net earlier this year when caught spellbound, admiring the official portrait of Michelle Obama in Washington, celebrated Halloween in the best way: dressing as the former first lady.

This Wednesday the little girl resident Washington, DC posted on her Twitter account a photo where she appears posing just as Barack Obama's wife did for her portrait, which was made by artist Amy Sherald and hangs in a position of honor in the National Gallery.

In the snapshot, the girl appears seated, with her hair up, very smiling and with her chin resting on her right hand. Happy Halloween! Can you guess who I am?”

"Without hesitation, without hesitation, half a second later he said, 'I want to dress up as Michelle Obama,'" Jessica Curry explained of her daughter's decision to the Buzzfeed.com site. "I thought he was going to tell me he wanted to be Elsa or one of those characters."

Incredibly, this Thursday Michelle Obama herself responded to the beautiful gesture by sharing the photo and saying in a tweet “You made it perfect Parker! I love it!!!.

According to the minor's mother, the dress was made by Alisha Welsh of Magnolia Lake Children's Clothing and was made especially for her Halloween costume. "I knew it was like a last minute, but I hoped she could still do it and she did it for us," Curry told the site. "I don't even know how he did it, but it was incredible and it fascinated us."

Little Parker went viral in March when photos and videos of her totally frozen before the portrait of the former first lady began to circulate. Her mother later explained that she took her to the museum without even imagining her daughter's reaction, much less that she would become famous for her reaction to the painting.

"Parker was in front of the portrait and I really wanted him to turn because I wanted to take a picture of him, but genuinely and honestly he didn't want to turn around," his mother told CNN. “I was too focused on the portrait, studying it and was just fascinated. She believes that Michelle Obama is a queen and she wants to be a queen too."

Little Parker's admiration earned her the honor of personally meeting Obama, with whom she even danced, everything being recorded in networks, of course.
