So which dress did the new First lady choose?
Michelle Obama opted for one-of-a-kind,  one shoulder, white Jason Wu gown in ivory silk chiffon with silk organza flowers, Swarovski crystal rhinestones and silver thread embroidery.

The 26 year old, Taiwan-born, New York based Wu has now – overnight — become nothing short of a household name.

The First Lady previously donned one of the designer’s outfits when she appeared on the Barbara Walters’ Special on the year’s most intriguing people episode along with her husband.

The First Lady will also appear on the cover of the March issue of Vogue.
