The first lady dazzled the nation when she selected a gorgeous ruby red ball gown for the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Ball designed by Jason Wu — the same designer she wore at the 2009 ball! The young designer revealed he’s still ‘in shock.’
There’s no denying that First Lady Michelle Obama is a fashion icon, and during the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Ball, she stole the show in a gorgeous ruby red ball gown by Jason Wu. The fashion designer, 30, also designed the first lady’s dress for the 2009 Inaugural Ball, but even he was surprised his gown was selected again!
Jason Wu made a name for himself during the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Ball when he designed Michelle’s white one-shoulder gown when he was just 26. Her bold choice put him on the fashion map back then — and the designer, who has been incredibly busy building his line in the past four years, didn’t even expect his design to be selected again.
“#Inshock!!!” he tweeted on Jan. 21.
Michelle Obama’s Complete Inaugural Ball Look
While Michelle's look back in 2009 was very romantic, the red dress was definitely sexier, but still chic. Michelle's toned arms are one of her best assets, and the halter gown put her arms and shoulders on display. The dress was cinched at her waist, really showing off her figure, while in the back the dress dipped low and showed a bit more skin than one might expect to see from a First Lady.
Michelle knows how to make a fashion statement, and that's exactly what she did in her gorgeous red dress. A pair of Jimmy Choo pumps and a custom Kimberly McDonald ring added the finishing touches to her ensemble, as did the sparkling set of bangles that were on her arm.
We think she looked amazing — and congrats to Jason Wu for the honors again!
