Michelle Obama: Countdown to the Gown

The World Awaits the Big Reveal

The Dress.  Who will design it?  Will it be couture or credit crunch chic?  Classic or modern?  These are the questions fashionistas, nay the world, have pondered for months when it comes to what future First Lady Michelle Obama will wear to all those inaugural balls on Tuesday.  In a town notorious for leaks, so far mums the word on what dress options are even in the running.

Why the intense interest? “In the fashion world, this is the Super Bowl,” Cynthia Leive, Glamour magazine’s editor-in-chief, said on the “Today” show.  So you know, no pressure or anything.

Given Michelle’s budget-balancing outfits, can you just imagine a J. Crew gown hanging in the “First Ladies at the Smithsonian” exhibit, alongside historic styles worn by Helen Todd Lincoln and Eleanor Roosevelt?  It would be a daring, populist-chic statement, ranking right up there with Sharon Stone’s Gap shirt and ball skirt Academy Awards ensemble.  And what about her shoes?  Everything from head-to-toe will be critiqued with the intensity of a missed field goal attempt during a Super Bowl game.  Whether designer or discount, the next First Lady still has time to shop for shoes at ShoeCompare.com.  We’re pretty sure they’ll expedite shipping to Blair House.

As we “Countdown to the Gown,” check out the fashions of First Ladies past.  Pleasing everyone will be an impossible task, but we’re sure that whatever Michelle O picks will have these frocks beat.  And stay tuned for ShoeMinx’s special:  Barack, Michelle, Sasha & Malia - Inaugural Fashion Predictions.
