Michelle Obama the belle of the ball!

I do think that the Americans as a rule are extremely “over the top” and the Obama’s inaugural ball was by no means an exception.
Yes Michelle Obama the new “first lady” looked stunning at the ball and it was all down to the amazing Grecian gown she was wearing which looked as though it had been designed for her wedding day!
It was designed by a young 26 year old up and coming Taiwanese US designer who actually sewed the dress by himself. He lives in New York and launched his line of designer clothing in 2006.
It is said that Wu had a somewhat secretive request from a mysterious “special” customer just after his fashion show back in September.The dress had a fitted bodice, gathered skirts with organza floral appliqués and was studded with Swarovski crystals.
Jason Wu the young dress designer, was noted as saying “The dress is soft, feminine but powerful. My main aim was to convey all that in a dress.” “I had an inkling who it could be for, but I did’nt want to think about it!”
It seems Barack Obama was worried before the inauguration ball about his ability to dance! He was said to be particularly concerned about stepping on his wife’s toes. He need not have worried though, it all went to plan they looked the perfect couple with him in a tuxedo and white tie and Michelle in her beautiful full length ivory gown.
Barack Obama on seeing his wife turned to the cheering crowd asking “First of all, how good looking is my wife?”
Their first dance used an extremely popular first dance wedding day song entitled “At Last”.
It seems fitting that Michelle Obama’s dress looked just like a wedding dress and to be truthful they really could not have chosen a better wedding day venue either! Lets just hope that this signifies a fresh new start not just for them but for the United States as a whole.
