LOS ANGELES: Michelle Obama officially entered the world stage on Tuesday in outfits by US designers paired with off-the-rack accessories, mixing glamor with practicality.
The first lady chose a sparkling sheath dress and matching coat in yellow-gold by Cuban-born designer Isabel Toledo for the swearing-in ceremony but added olive green gloves from chain store J.Crew and Jimmy Choo shoes.
For the inaugural balls, she wore a white, one-shouldered chiffon gown with a full skirt by Taiwan-born US designer Jason Wu, 26, whose dresses cost up to $6,000.
