Inaugural ensemble
With a personal style being compared to that of former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, the eyes of the fashion world are resting on First Lady Michelle Obama. Fashion experts across the nation, and even some in Europe, took special note of today’s inaugural ensemble — a lemongrass-yellow jacket and matching dress by Cuban-born designer Isabel Toledo — saying that the outfit, like her husband’s speech, kindled a sense of hope among Americans. “I think the yellow symbolized hope and renewal,” Sasha Charnin Morrison, fashion director for US Weekly told the Baltimore Sun. “This has been their message all along.” While I have to admit, I did not get the same reaction from her ensemble, I have taken special note of the off-the-rack brands she has been photographed in. I think it gives the sense that her personal style incorporates her American upbringing, something I do find truly inspiring.
