First Lady Michelle Obama picked fashion insider Isabel Toledo, 47, to design her Inaugural ensemble.

The glamorous, creamy yellow dress and matching overcoat were made of satin-backed wool

guipure, a kind of lace used most often in French haute couture. Obama accessorized the look.

with a sparkling crystal necklace and green leather gloves and shoes. Although the First Lady’s

office repeatedly said that Obama would not decide on her outfit until this morning, the choice

— including the color, fabric and accessories — shows a lot of confidence

and planning on the wearer’s part.
