Jason Wu Designs Michelle Obama's Inauguration Gown
January 20, 2009 by: ANI ESMAILIAN

Michelle celebrated her husband Barack Obama's inauguration Tuesday night wearing a white chiffon, one-shoulder gown by 26 year-old designer Jason Wu. Remember that name, because it's about to become a house hold name.
The appliqué and beaded chiffon gown will no doubt go down in history as one of the most beautiful and sophisticated dresses worn by a First Lady.
"First of all, how good-looking is my wife?" the president asked a cheering crowd.
Obama and his gorgeous wife Michelle were serenaded by Beyonce as she covered Etta James' "At Last" during the evening's first dance at the Neighborhood Ball at Washington's Convention Center. And what a ball it was!
So who is Jason Wu? This low-key designer has only been on the radar since 2006. He briefly worked at Anne Klein but is considered relatively avant-garde.
One things for certain though, with the Oscars right around the corner, we wouldn't be surprised if we saw more Wu originals on the red carpet.
