Being First Lady sure has its perks. Just ask Michelle Obama, who celebrated her husband Barack Obama’s Inauguration at the Commander in Chief Ball in a gorgeous white, one-shouldered Ivory chiffon Jason Wu gown. The many-layered dress had a one-shoulder strap and was flecked with organza flowers and crystals. “I have the special honor of being the guy who accompanied Michelle Obama to the ball.” President Obama told the miltary guests at the ball.
Per Us Magazine via The Dallas Morning News:
“(Michelle’s choice) is a balancing act between being a queen and a commoner,” Carl Sferrazza Anthony, a historian who’s written about first ladies, told The Dallas Morning News. “The inaugural gown is a metaphor for the first lady role. They reflect around the world an image of our country.”
Meanwhile, the president’s choice of attire was a custom tuxedo made by Chicago-based designer Hart Schaffner Marx. It has been said that President Obama hasn’t purchased a tux in 15 years.
