Michelle Obama Inauguration Ball Gown: Like It Or Loathe It?
After scoring big with us on the Inauguration Ceremony dress and coat by Isabel Toledo, Michelle Obama donned a white, angelic (although some say almost bridal) gown by a newcomer: Jason Wu. And she scored WAY bigger! We didn’t expect the First Lady to pick a newcomer to dress her for the most important night in her life, but come to think about it… this is why we love the Obamas so much. Their fresh way of thinking!
Our First Lady believed in research, therefore, as she did with Isabel Toledo, she wore Jason Wu’s silk sheath dress from his Spring 2009 collection when she appeared on the Barbara Walters TV interview. Wu was excited about the dress and made a comment about why Michelle O worked his creation:
“There’s no muss, no fuss. It worked because she’s not ornate. She’s fresh. But beyond that, I think she’s made an even bigger statement by wearing brands that are more budget-conscious, like J. Crew.”
Speaking of J. Crew, those fabulous green gloves Michelle Obama wore earlier on the inauguration ceremony came from the brand. She also decided to dress Malia and Sasha in J. Crew coats. We guess it’s a not only a fashion statement, more importantly, it’s a statement of commitment to stay down-to-earth in this difficult time.
Anyway, back to the main question: Do you like or loathe Michelle O’s inauguration ball gown?

The dress really looks pretty, I just doubt about the hip part. On the whole I like Michelle Obama's wardrobe and find it both stylish and practical. And although there are critical acclaims about the costs of her outfit, it doesn't prevent them from ranging in celebrity clothes collection.
