The first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha looked absolutely stunning during the Inaugural festivities.  I was thrilled that Mrs. Obama picked Jason Wu once again to design her gown for the evening balls.  The ruby-red gown was made with chiffon and velvet.  She looked gorgeous.

During the day, she wore a custom-made Thom Browne dress & coat accessorized with J. Crew accessories (sparkle sash, shoes and leather gloves).  I thought this outfit was smart and polished.

I love how she can pair something beautifully designed for her such as Jason Wu or Narcisso Rodriguez along with very accessible fashion such as J. Crew and even H&M.

Malia Obama also wore J. Crew's coat and scarf for the day festivities.  I adore J. Crew's coats because of the beautiful colors and while we may not get the exact color that Malia wore or the exact accessories that the First Lady chose from J. Crew, there are so many gorgeous options from the retailer that look very similarly. Sasha wore a Kate Spade dress and coat.

See these beautiful ladies and some of the inaugural footage from ABC News.  Also, fashion coverage from Natalie Morales on the  Today Show footage featuring discussions with Thom Browne (00:57), Jenna Lyons (4:38) and Jason Wu (2:29).

A special day was had by all.  And for those designers who were chosen for this event, their pieces will go down in history.

Cheers!
