President and Michelle Obama Attend Inaugural Balls

I love red. And halter tops. Soooo, I think you can guess how I feel about Michelle Obama's second inaugural ball gown. I liked it. I liked it a lot.

There's been a lot of chatter about what it means that MObama went with Jason Wu again this go-round; personally, my theory is that she just liked this dress the best of all of the ones she saw. The red is patriotic, the cut is flattering, and it looks fun to dance in. That Jason Wu just knows what he's doing.

I think those of you who regularly read this site can guess how I feel about the fact that she decided to wear some really good bracelets. If Portlandia suggests you stick a bird on it, I am the person who always suggests you put a bracelet on it.

The back view. I want you to have the 360 degree gown experience, while at the same time being beyond relieved that there is no Inaugural Glam Cam.

Michelle Obama at the Inauguration

I...love this Thom Brown coat (with J Crew belt). I love it. I need a patterned coat. I need one immediately. I live in Los Angeles, but I need another coat NONE OF MY COATS HAVE PATTERNS.

I'm being silly, but I actually also am completely sincere in digging this coat.

Swearing In Ceremony

The pop of color from the gloves is also fun.

Marian Robinson (Michelle's mom), Sasha and Malia, Michelle

Sasha is in Kate Spade, Malia is in J Crew (a coat that I already OWN. But mine is boring and basic black and also doesn't really fit me very well anymore because: sandwiches). I like that they're coordinated but not actually matching. (I don't know who Mrs Robinson is wearing, but she looks very smart.)

This just cracked me up because I think both the President and Mrs Obama are telling Sasha to put her sweater back on and PAY ATTENTION.

I am not as crazy about this cardigan as I was about all the rest of her everything yesterday. I mean, it's not bad -- it's a cardigan, how bad can a cardigan REALLY GO? -- but I am not a fan of the cropped cardi in general.

Is this the same cardigan? What do you think? I can't decide. It isn't, is it? I think the buttons are different. Regardless, this employment of a blue sweater works better -- I actually like her entire outfit. I also love how Sasha is obviously not paying any attention again. She is SO 11 years old. She is thinking about One Direction here or something.

This was (I think) (perhaps) the debut of the bangs. I am really really really torn on the bangs. I can not decide on the bangs. One moment, I think they are good and then the next one I think I might not be a fan. I can't decide. This is clearly a question that will echo through our great nation for weeks if not months to come.

Well Played Inauguration Events, First Family
Regular readers know we don't often cover Michelle Obama because we tend to steer away from anything that could veer into a political discussion. That being said, how could we not take a look at what FLOTUS wore to yesterday's Inauguration and attendant events? I am confident that Fug Nation can set aside their politics (if need be) to enjoy OUTFITS and COATS and BANGS and DRESSES and GLOVES and BRACELETS. [Photos: Getty]
