Forget the Golden Globes, the Oscars, even Fashion Week. Michelle Obama’s dress for the inaugural ball was the most anticipated event in recent fashion memory.
After months of breathless speculation and CIA-like secrecy, the new First Lady made her official debut looking radiant and positively regal in an ivory, one-shoulder gown covered with rosettes by Jason Wu. Michelle O accessorized her Cinderella moment dress with long earrings, a dazzling - yet demure - diamond bracelet and ivory peep-toes (and some killer biceps, we might add). And despite predictions, she rose to the occasion in heels. She and Barack, Hollywood handsome in a Hart Schaffner Marx tux, were serenaded by Beyonce who sang Etta James’ timeless classic, “At Last.”
Mrs O, as always was ahead of the trends by picking the colour of the season and working it to the max. Her jewel encrusted coat could have been perceived as too over-the-top, but by keeping the rest of the outfit simple and understated, she looked nothing less than classy.
