Introducing 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 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 fairytale castle weddings The dress was designed by a young 26 year old up and coming Taiwanese US designer who actually sewed the dress all by himself. He lives in New York and launched his line of designer clothing in 2006.
It is said that Wu received a 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 recorded as saying “The dress is soft, feminine but powerful. I wanted to show all that in a dress.” “I had an inkling who it was for, but I did not want to think about it!”
It was said Barack Obama was rather worried before the inauguration ball about his ability to dance! He was said to be really worried about treading on his wife’s toes. He need not have worried though, it all went to plan and they looked the perfect couple with him in a tuxedo and white tie and Michelle in her full length ivory gown.
When Barack Obama saw his wife he turned to the cheering crowd asking them “First of all, how good looking is my wife?” Even their first dance used a popular first dance wedding 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 must signify a fresh new start not only for them but for the United States as a whole. If you need a fairytale venue, visit this castle hotel.
