First Lady Inauguration Style!

What will The First Lady Michelle Obama wear for Inauguration? It is every fashion designers dream to have the privilege to dress the first family, so who will take the honor? It will remain a big secret until Inauguration night! Our friends at WWD collaged from various designers whom they asked to propose an idea for the big night. Just take a look at these exclusive sketches. What is your favorite proposed look for Mrs. Obama, Malia and Sasha?

WWD reported that nearly 20 designers are believed to have sent clothes for this weekend’s festivities in response to requests from East Wing staffers. Those names include Michael Kors, Derek Lam, Naeem Khan, Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu, Bibhu Mohapatra, Thakoon Panichgul, Tracy Reese, Chris Benz, Tory Burch, Narciso Rodriguez, Zac Posen, Maria Cornejo, Thom Browne, Barbara Tfank and Laura Smalls. Odds are the first eight companies on that list are the more likely contenders to design the First Lady’s gown, but there very well may be other candidates.

While a few fashion insiders alluded to signed confidentiality agreements, one or two went so far as to refer to Mrs. O as “a client.” All of the industry sources contacted by WWD said they — like the rest of America — will not know what the First Lady decides on until she steps out for the Commander in Chief’s Inaugural Ball Monday night. That's it for now! Don't forget with Palette 2 Palate color is in all year round!
