History
was made today when
Barack Obama
became the 44th President of the United States.
Millions tuned in to not only watch the former
Chicago senator take the oath of office and swearing
in but catch a glimpse of the wardrobe selection
worn by the new first family.
Michelle Obama
wowed the crowd most in a stunning yellow lace coat
and matching sheath by Cuban-born American designer
Isabel Toledo, daughters
Malia and
Sasha popped
bright in blue and pink coats by J.Crew kids' line
Crewcuts and
Barack remained loyal
to his regular outfitter, Chicago tailor Hartmax.
The new First Lady complemented the look
with pea green leather gloves, green ribbon
and dark green leather pumps. The
crystal-trimmed neckline added major drama
for the day look. When Isabel Toledo's
husband, a famous fashion illustrator was
asked today how he and his wife felt about
her look worn by the most fashionable first
Lady since Jackie Kennedy for such a
momentous occasion, he stated: "We're
levitating - we really are. It's just
another shock, but a great shock."

First Daughters Malia and Sasha stood out in
Crewcuts coats accessorized with scarves,
gloves and ribbons tied around the waist,
the only element identical to their mother's
outfit. Malia's double-breasted cobalt blue
with a black faux-fur scarf was a nice
contrast to Sasha's pink coat with orange
scarf and matching ribbon belt. This is not
the first time the First Daughters have worn
Crewcuts for public outings. This Sunday
they wore the brand at the Jonas Brothers
concert for the "Kids Inaugural: We Are the
Future" event in Washington, DC.
