Michelle Obama Wears A White Silk Chiffon Gown
By Jason Wu

Yes, Jason Wu, a young New York designer, designed the gown. Wu, born in Taiwan, studied at Parsons in New York. Wu had no idea the First Lady had picked his gown-he found out at the same time everyone else found out! Wu told People Magazine “I was in awe when I saw her. I was emotional, I was amazed.” Wu also shared that he along with four friends sewed the flowers onto the dress by hand. “I wanted the dress to reflect hope, fantasy, a dream [because] this is a pretty surreal moment we’re living in," Wu said.

Micheel wore Loree Rodkin jewelry: 60-carat white gold and triple rose cut diamond drop earrings, a 10 carat center stone white gold and black rhodium rose cut diamond ring, and white gold and diamond bangles.
