Michelle Obama Inaugural Ball Dress

Posted by Kari on Jan-20-2009

Michelle Obama has shown nothing less than class and fashion that is so “today”.   I love her style that she has shown throughout the campaign and now the inaugural events.   She exemplifies beauty for a fabulous over forty woman.  And the first children – could you just die at how adorable and beautiful they looked in their J. Crew?  I LOVE it!

Finally it was revealed that Jason Wu was the designer she wore tonight at the anticipated Neighborhood Ball.   She looked beautiful in the one shoulder, flowy dress with a slight train.  She looked comfortable and relaxed and ready to have fun through all 10 inaugural balls.    And the best part?  President Obama thought she looked beautiful and he let the world know.

I’m on the fence whether I liked this dress or not – was it sophisticated enough?   Or was it just so new and fresh looking that I don’t know if I’m quite there or not.   I’d love to hear your opinions.

    I am a huge fan of MO’s and usually love her sleek ensembles – but I thought this was shapeless, dull and looked rather like an ill-fitting prom dress. Really disappointed. I thought she might go with the one-shoulder look but the fabric, full skirt and ill fitting bodice just ruined it for me. Oh well, it’s only a dress!

    The dress is so-so, rather a let-down after all the hype. I do wish Wu would have given some thought to how functional it would be – the dress was not made for walking or dancing. I dare say that the First Lady would have appreciated something that would have given her the freedom to move about.

    I think the fabric was beautiful, but the color and shape of the dress were certainly not flattering, as if she was trying to hide her figure, which is very nice. There surely must have been a better choice for her than this!

    I thought the dress was beautiful but it certainly didn’t allow a great deal of freedom on the dance floor. Even wedding dresses with trains have a hook to keep the train out of the way. The 1st Lady certainly didn’t get very good advice when choosing such an important gown. Bad choice. To much work to move around in.

    The dress looked like the designer took an old chenille bedspread and turned it into a terrible looking gown. She needed to be in sync with Biden’s wife. Her’s was classy.
