OBAMA INAUGURATION STYLE

TUESDAY PART 1 OF 1
MAHALO FASHION SPECIAL EDITION: (Updated)

WEDNESDAY

Micheel at the fifty-sixth Presidential Inaugural Prayer Service at the National Cathedral in Washington. She's apparently wearing Isabel Toledo again. Loving the 50s style here.

TUESDAY Like most as soon as I saw 10 to twelve on my computer screen I ran from my desk down to the lobby where it was packed full to watch Obama make history. Yes, like a lot of people here in Canada we are more interested in American politics lately then our own, especially considering we've had no government for the last two months and they are not due to resume till the January 26. The Govenor General suspended it because of this whole 'coalition government' that the opposition had decided to form in order to overthrow the current government in power. It was that or have our fourth election in 4 years (so ridic). Drama, but who cares Barack Obama is the president of the United-States.

Obama is rumored to be coming to Ottawa (my city, the capital) in the next couple of weeks for his first official visit as President. I just hope they can solve the transit strike issue before then so we don't look like a bunch of incompetent bums. Anyway, onwards to fashion!

MICHELLE OBAMA
IN JASON WU I think this dress was a perfect pick for her tall statuesque body. Jason is totally freaking right now, I heard on CNN he had no idea that Michelle was going to wear his dress till he saw it on TV and started crying. Such a great achievement for only being 26! Don't expect to find it on style.com because it was made especially for her;) Michelle is still dancing as I'm typing this, they have 10 inaugural balls to go too and they have to dance their 'first dance' at every single one. Wow. I can't keep up with all these traditions.

Beyonce serenaded them with Etta James' At Last. Why didn't they get Etta James herself? She's still performing. The whole Beyonce thing just seems a little ill fitting to me. I think she's wearing the Gucci dress that Rihanna wore to the UNICEF benefit a month or so ago. I could be completely wrong because I haven't seen any upclose pictures. I just saw upclose pictures of Beyonce (See below), it's definitely not the same, but the color is flattering on both of them.

Dancing with service men and women.

Diamond Joe, that's my name for Joe Biden because he looks like he could have a gold chain around his neck and gaudy rings on his fingers. Love it. Jill totally wowed everyone with her dress, she looked amazing.

IN ISABEL TOLEDO

I think this goldish lemon yellow is a perfect for Michelle and it makes her look regal. Though I have to agree with the pea green gloves, they were a bit of a missmatch.

Isabel Toledo was born in Cuba, but now lives in Brooklyn, NY. "We had no idea. We hoped she would wear something because she has bought Isabel's clothes before. We never know what's going to happen," said her husband."It's just another shock, but a great shock"

Michelle also wore Jimmy Choo 'Glacier' pumps.

I love this "Good job daddy" thumbs up.

SASHA AND MALIA
IN JCREWI'm not surprised that the girls are wearing JCrew because Michelle has been wearing so much of their stuff as well during the campaign. I hope JCrew are kissing their feet, because now everyone is going to be flocking there. They have a congratulations banner on their site for the Obama family.

Cutest first daughters ever! Gosh darn, I can't believe how packed it was! How can you see anything? I guess just the feeling that you were there is good enough.

CELEBS BRAVING
THE COLD Kerry Washington looks adorable here in her Louis Vuitton camo scarf.
