Who Will Michelle Obama be Wearing?

Breaking from politics for a moment, Women’s Wear Daily has gathered the biggest names in fashion to submit sketches of the gowns they would create for MIchelle Obama to wear at the inauguration. Laura Bush’s favorite, Oscar de la Renta, is in there along with a host of others like Tracy Reese, Marc Jacobs, and Betsey Johnson.

So many of you have already booked tickets to Washington, D.C. to take part in the festivities, but only a few will be able to attend the ball. Check out the slideshow and tell us which dress she should wear.

I'm usually a fan of Betsy Johnson's design... but that red, white and blue costume dress? Absolutely not! this ain't no 4th of july hot dog ball.

my vote is on Isaac Mizrahi's sketch for Michelle, Sasha and Malia Obama.

i too am a fan of the mizrahi dress, but I gotta say, MO would rock that yellow marc jacobs dress, the only problem i have with it is that it may be too informal.
