Victoria Beckham Would Love to Dress Michelle O.

via HuffPo:
Victoria Beckham has clothed Blake Lively and Jennifer Hudson...and Sarah Jessica Parker even went clad in a Beckham frock to visit the White House. But Victoria hasn't yet realized her ultimate dream: dressing Michelle Obama.

At Elton John's Oscar party, Beckham exclaimed, "I would love to dress Mrs. Obama absolutely absolutely absolutely! I just think she's incredible and she's a very strong woman and she's beautiful."

She added, "I love women and I just want to make women feel good and beautiful and it's just been a huge compliment that ladies have enjoyed wearing my dresses and they look great! It just goes to show they can flatter women of all different shapes and sizes, all different heights, and that's what it's about. It's about creating an illusion and having a great cut."

Michelle O. Wears Prabal Gurung to Donate her Jason Wu Inaugural Gown..

First lady Michelle Obama (wearing Prabal Gurung Spring 2010) and inaugural dress designer Jason Wu look at the inaugural gown she wore to the inaugural balls.

Michelle O. Will Donate Her Inaugural Gown to the Smithsonian

Via HuffPo: The one-shouldered, white chiffon gown first lady Michelle Obama wore to the inaugural balls is going on display. Mrs. Obama is donating the gown to the First Ladies Collection at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History on Tuesday.

Dotted with beads and covered in fabric petals, the gown was a star attraction at 10 inaugural balls held in January 2009 to celebrate President Barack Obama's swearing-in. Designer Jason Wu, 27, of New York, planned to join Mrs. Obama for the event.



The Smithsonian is scheduled Wednesday to open a new gallery for the first ladies exhibit, one of its most popular attractions. The new addition will serve as a showcase for first ladies from Mamie Eisenhower, who served from 1953 to 1961, to Mrs. Obama.

All first ladies since 1912 have contributed to the collection. The Smithsonian asks each one to donate something that represents her. While donating the inaugural ball gown has become tradition, it is not required. The collection also has White House china and other personal items.



With Mrs. Obama's gift, the new gallery will have 10 inaugural gowns on display. There were no inaugural celebrations for Gerald Ford, who became president after Richard Nixon resigned during the Watergate scandal, so Betty Ford donated a dress she wore to a state dinner.

The entire exhibit will show 24 first ladies' dresses, including 12 inaugural gowns. Mrs. Obama has invited students studying fashion at Huntington High School in New York to attend Tuesday's ceremony.
