Michelle Obama, the nation’s new First Lady danced the first inaugural dance with President Barack Obama while Beyonce sang the Etta James song “At Last”.  Obama asked the crowd, “How good looking is my wife?” while Michelle wore a shimmering, one shouldered, floor-length chiffon ivory gown embellished with white floral details with a $3,510 price tag, designed by 26-year-old designer, Jason Wu.

I know most of you are anticipating what gown Michelle Obama will wear this evening to the Inaugural Ball.  But I’m guessing many will be after the outfit she wore for the swearing-in of her husband Barack Obama as the nation’s 44th president on Capitol Hill this morning.  Michelle Obama wore a sparkling golden yellow brocade dress with bejeweled collar and matching jacket designed by Cuban-born American designer Isabel Toledo.  It looks similar to her J.Crew ensemble - Michelle must like yellow! How long will it before we see a knock-off replica?
