Michelle Obama, The New Style Icon of America

Don't you just love how stylish the new First Lady is?

The new U.S. first lady, Michelle Obama, chose a glamorous yellow-gold hued sheath dress with matching coat by Cuban-born American designer Isabel Toledo for the presidential swearing-in ceremony. She elegantly accessorized her dress with a wide diamante necklace and matching mint green gloves and pumps. Don't forget her cute red clutch! A breath of fresh air from the boring pantsuits.

Michelle Obama is definitely the new deserving style icon in America. I love the fact that she chose a bright sunny color for the inauguration instead of the oft-familiar austere colors worn during high profile occasions. According to style experts, yellow is the color of optimism and hope as quoted here, "Yellow is the color of optimism and confidence and hope ... The whole ensemble radiated hope and optimism," Mandi Norwood, a former editor at Mademoiselle magazine who is writing a book on Michelle Obama's style. How apt in embodying the hope of Barack Obama's campaign and presidency!
