First Lady picks Jason Wu, Isabel Toledo

    Absolutely exhausted (in a great, elated cried with joy a lot way)  islandistas so this will be a short post.

    First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama continued to buck the trend by going for little known designer Jason Wu for her inaugural gown and we say to her - well done!

    Her inaugural gown is a fluffy cream coloured confection with a cold shoulder bodice which shows off her great arms and shoulders. It has a long train which caused a few problems for the President at the Home States Ball - she had to keep lifting it away from his feet but that may be because the President, bless him, dances like he's feeling his white roots.

    For the inauguration ceremony itself she went with a sparkly gold sheath dress and coat by Isabel Toledo and showed her penchant for mixing high fashion with the high street as the Brits would say by rocking it with green J.Crew gloves. She finished it off with green Jimmy Choos.

    Mrs. Obama has been making some under the radar designers very happy with her fashion choices ever since the campaign. Some hardly seem to believe their luck.

    When asked in December if he thought he would design Mrs. Obama's inaugural ball, Wu reportedly said:

    "Oh, that's a long shot!"

    Toledo was equally awe-struck when she was interviewed on Inauguration Day, saying:

    "There is nothing that comes close to this moment."
