In keeping with tradition, First Lady Michelle Obama and designer Jason Wu went the Smithsonian on Tuesday to ceremonially hand over her inaugural gown.  The now famous gown will join 11 other dresses worn by former first ladies as part of the exhibit “A First Lady’s Debut.” 

The first lady humbly admitted to being a “a little embarrassed by all the fuss made over my dress. Like many of you, I’m not used to people wanting to put things I’ve worn on display.”  She also recalled the inauguration: the cold weather, the energy and the moment she put on the gown saying, ” I remember how just luscious I felt as the President and I were announced onto the stage for the first of many dances. And I’ll cherish that moment for the rest of my life.”

A beautiful moment, a beautiful dress.
