So it wasn’t Diane von Furstenberg nor Kai Milla. It wasn’t even Oscar de la Renta or Narciso Rodriguez – though that would’ve been a very close guess, as she did wear Rodriguez again on Sunday.

Michelle Obama appeared at the much anticipated Inauguration Ball in a lovely ivory one-shoulder strapped Jason Wu dress, with crystal beaded embroidery and rosette embellishments.

Somehow it felt as if we were at their second wedding or something – or was I the only one who got that impression?

It was a lovely dress, lovely choice, and boy is the fashion world excited about Michelle Obama now being officially the First Lady of America.

“To have a First Lady who loves fashion, and who is promoting American designers, is so important and we need that so much, with the way the economy has impacted fashion, and everybody trying to make their way through it,” said Rodriguez.
