What will Michelle Obama wear to the Inaugural Ball? Everyone is on pins and needles to find out and all the designers are scampering around with sketches, hoping their design will be picked. Here’s a bunch of designs that have been submitted for consideration. What will she pick?
Michelle Obama Inaugural Ball Gown?
Betsey Johnson design
American fashion designers are lining up to dress Michelle Obama for the January 20, 2009 Inaugural Ball. Rumor has it that she’s been in talks with Narciso Rodriguez, the New York designer who dressed her in the red and black number she wore on election night. A lot of people are speculating that she’ll go with Rodriguez again for the Inaugural Ball. But who knows?
We must fuss over this as she is being touted as having the fashion sense, style and grace of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Those who want to, will see her that way. Those who don’t, won’t. Regardless, the fashion world is all aflutter. Big name designers are ready, willing and able to dress her. And as we all know, with the Obama’s, money is of no concern.
The sketches here were offered up by names like: Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel), Badgley Mischka, Betsey Johnson, Carolina Herrera, Chado Ralph Rucci, Christian Lacroix, Diane von Furstenberg, Isaac Mizrahi, Koi Suwannagate, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Monique Lhuillier, Oscar de la Renta, Peter Som, Rachel Roy, Rodarte, Tracy Reese, Tuleh, Zac Posen and Zero + Maria Cornejo
Canadian designers sketched some designs for her as well. Although I hope she is proud enough of her country at this point that she’d pick an American designer.
A lot more designs are below - which should she choose? (Click on images to enlarge)
Thanks to Southern Sass on Crime for the heads up about the gowns.

It’s amusing how the people who spent the past eight years trashing Bush now want to call anyone who does not have an orgasm upon seeing Obama “bitter and petty.” It’s hilarious.
Michelle’s ball gown dress looked like those dresses kids make out of toilet paper at parties. Really, folks - I’ve seen the lady in some classy and beautiful outfits. But the yellow dress for the swearing in and the toilet paper dress for the balls were just abysmal. However, since she is Michelle Obama, all the liberals and the MSM will salivate and talk about how beautiful and classy they were. Ha! If anyone else had worn them, they would have been ridiculed. They’re the teflon family.
Beth, doncha know that all th world will LOVE American now that Obama is president.
