As predicted First Lady Obama was absolutely ravishing at the Inaugural Ball in D.C. She was a vision in a white chiffon one shoulder gown by up and coming designer Jason Wu. Again, it wasn't my favorite favorite dress on the First Lady, but I think she looked glamorous. It showed off her enviously toned arms and the silhouette drenched in floral appliques complemented her statuesque figure. Even the President was in awe of his First Lady. "First of all, how good-looking is my wife?" The President asked a cheering crowd at the Neighborhood Ball at Washington's Convention Center.
I think its cool of Mrs. Obama to choose innovative designers such as Isabel Toledo and Jason Wu to begin her reign has a fashionable First lady. "The gown will be donated to the Smithsonian, according to tradition," the first lady's spokeswoman said. Mrs. Obama was dignified and stylish in her first day as First Lady, and had to walk endless fine lines in her green kitten heels on her way to the White House. To keep in tradition like First Ladies before her, to be beautiful but to not overshadow the inauguration of her husband, all while appearing stylishly humble and not ostentatious in the midst of our country's economic turmoil. The First Lady succeeded brilliantly. She'll become one of the most photographed women in the world. Her personal style will be copied by millions and her chic je na se quis will be written and talked about for at least four years, and certainly for decades to come. First Lady Michelle Obama is a style icon.
