There is no doubt that Michelle Obama has the fashionista swagger that leaves everyone wondering what she will wear next.
We especially kept our eyes peeled on what she would rock on inauguration day! Our First Lady shined in a dazzling vintage-inspired yellow gown designed by Cuban-American designer, Isabel Toledo. Unlike most mainstream designers, Isabel is considered a newbie in the designer world. With only a couple of years in the fashion business she has already gained a reputation for recreating a modern avant garde look.
Redefining the meaning of traditional first lady attire, Mrs. Obama definitely picks her designers wisely and has worked with Isabel during Election season. Besides Toledo's designs, Michelle Obama has also picked evening wear designed by runway renegades, Narciso Rodriguez, Zero + Maria Cornejo, and Maria Pinto.
