Michelle Obama’s Dress: A Bold Choice in Designer Isabel Toledo.
President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, who wore an Isabel
Toledo ensemble to the Inauguration.
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.
