Did Michelle Obama Surprise Jason Wu?
So, Michelle Obama chose a Jason Wu design for her inaugural ball gown, and if you believe what was shown on CNN last night, Jason Wu didn't know about it until he watched their coverage of it.
Someone calling himself Jason Wu called CNN last night during the ball coverage and was put on the air to talk about the dress. This man said he had no idea Mrs Obama would be wearing the dress until he saw the pictures on CNN.
I guess that's possible. If they really wanted to keep things under wrap, what better way to do so than to keep even the designer himself in the dark?
As for the dress itself, it was originally a strapless gown but a strap was added in the interest of comfort. It's nothing special. In fact, I don't see it as an inaugural gown. To me it looks more like what a debutante would wear, not a first lady. So, no applause from me about the dress, but my applause to Michelle Obama for continuing to be a fashion risk taker.
Bee fashionable!

Like you, I love that the First Lady is willing to break the mold. She isn't Barbara Bush-- she's a highly-educated/well-known lawyer and professional. She knows what she's doing. And with that figure, she can just about wear what she wants. :)

True. She'll definitely make her mark fashion-wise as a first lady.
