Every one who watched President Obama commence his new term was also captivated by Michelle Obama's gorgeous Inauguration dress.
The Inauguration marked the beginning of Obama's second term as President of the United States and another glorious fashion statement for his wife. Mrs. Obama went for a regal and refined look with a stunning Jason Wu number. She radiated and solidified her rank as First Lady and counterpart to President Obama.
How the First Lady or any political woman dresses is an important part of their role. They are on a platform and are representatives of their country and must uphold a proper sense of fashion. When it comes down to it, political fashions and the Inauguration dress are equally important because they project an image to the people of a nation.
