What did you think of Michelle Obama's white gown?

Rating: 5 after 1 vote

Michelle Obama donned this gorgeously textured one-strap gown. Not only was the dress absolutely elegant (not to mention, way fun), we thought it was totally adorable that Barack wore a bow tie to match. Sigh. My heart fluttered as I watched the First Couple dance together to Beyonce's rendition of "At Last." You can tell they are sooo in love. Sigh again.

So here's the scoop: The dress was designed by Jason Wu, a 26-year-old Taipei native and former student of designer Narciso Rodriguez. And this wasn't the first time the young designer dressed Michelle. Remember that Barbara Walters interview where she wore this raw silk dress? That's the work of Wu, too! Fab job, mister--we are impressed.

They are a beautiful couple no matter what ....

I thought it made her look heavy and she was moving that thing out of the way all night long. That got on my nerves. But I forgot about the dress as I watched them dance and look into each others eyes with real love. ::sigh::; ▶ Reply to This

I honestly didn't get to watch much of the party:( I just did an article on Michelle's jewelry style for Beautiful!Fabulous! and I think she will definitely make her mark on the fashion world!; ▶ Reply to This
