Michelle Obama, Bride of the Inaugural Ball
Michelle Obama unveiled (pun intended) her white chiffon one-shoulder gown by Jason Wu at the first of 10 inauguration parties they atteneded last night. Is it just us, or did it kind of look like a wedding dress? (Also check out Michelle's champagne-colored State Dinner gown by Indian American designer Naeem Khan)
Although white is the traditional colour worn by the first lady, some thought Michelle Obama might have put a colourful spin on her gown.
Fashion personality and stylist Robert Verdi commented " Nancy Reagan wore a one-shouldered Galanos, Laura Bush wore white and of course, Jackie Kennedy wore it. Wearing white is the historic route and I thought she'd do something different." Apparently Verdi wasn't thrilled with the style either. "I was expecting a different silhouette like a halter. It's an inauguration, not a prom."
Others, including Oprah magazine creative director Adam Glassman raved about her choice.

Top Wedding Gown Picks: May 1
Every week, SmartBride Boutique will be compiling our Top Picks from dresses posted across Canada to keep fellow smart brides on top of what's catching our eye! Hopefully some will catch your eyes too!
1. Trendy in Toronto mermaid style dress
One of this year's trends in wedding dresses is the mermaid dress because it hugs the body in all of the right places: cinching the waist and flaring at the bottom. This size 8 Alvina Valenta dress was purchased for over $2800 and is for sale on smartbrideboutique.ca for $1350 - a $1450 savings! The dress is made of very high quality silk-satin, with Swarovski crystals under the bust. The train is chapel-length, with a hook so that the train can be shortened for the reception. This dress was posted for sale by a Toronto smart bride.
