I do think that the Americans as a rule can be extremely “over the top” and the Obama’s inaugural ball was no 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 resides in New York and launched his line in 2006.
It is reported that Wu received a somewhat secretive request from a mysterious “special” customer just after his fashion show back in September.The dress had a bodice which is fitted, gathered skirt with organza floral appliqués and was studded with Swarovski crystals.
The young designer, Jason Wu was noted as saying “The dress is soft, feminine but powerful. My aim was to convey all that in a dress.” “I had an inkling who it was for, but I did’nt want to think about it!”
It was said Barack Obama was worried before the ball regarding his ability to dance! He was said to be rather 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.
When Barack Obama saw his wife he turned to the cheering audience and asked “First of all, how good looking is my wife?”
Their first dance even used a 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 only for them but for the United States as a whole.
