Obamas' big day: Michelle wears avant garde

Associated Press

Washington: Michelle Obama wore a sparkling gold sheath dress with matching coat by Cuban-born American designer Isabel Toledo on the day her husband Barack Obama was inaugurated as President of the US.

Obama is wearing a red tie and white shirt with his suit on 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 US designers.

Michelle Obama has been noted for choosing unexpected fashion designers, including Narciso Rodriguez, Zero + Maria Cornejo and Chicago designer Maria Pinto.
