WASHINGTON (AP) - Michelle Obama is wearing a sparkling gold
sheath dress with matching coat by Cuban-born American designer
Isabel Toledo on the day her husband will be inaugurated as
president.
Barack Obama is wearing a red tie and white shirt with his suit
Tuesday morning.
Toledo, who just a few years ago unsuccessfully tried to infuse
more modern style into the venerable Anne Klein label, is
considered among the more avant garde U.S. designers.
Michelle Obama has been noted for choosing unexpected fashion
designers, including Narciso Rodriguez, Zero + Maria Cornejo and
Chicago designer Maria Pinto.
