While the world waits to see what First Lady Michelle Obama will wear on inauguration day, there is still plenty of style news surrounding the inauguration including designer collectibles and reflections on Michelle Obama’s previous fashion choices.

Here are some of the stories:

First Lady Michelle Obama set the style world on fire with her chic looks, which included a yellow lace dress and coat from Isabel Toledo, an ivory gown from Jason Wu, and a camel and black suit from Narciso Rodriguez.

Nobody in recent fashion history has been as watched (and admired) as First Lady Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama’s inaugural dresses — from a golden lace dress to an ivory ballgown — set the tone for a very stylish White House.

Sasha and Malia
“Pretty! Pretty! Pretty!” shouted my 6-year-old daughter as she caught a glimpse of Sasha and Malia Obama’s inauguration day looks. Both of the girls were dressed in Crewcuts, J. Crew’s kids’ line. If you’d like this look for your own budding fashion lover, you may be out of luck because J. Crew made these styles especially for the Obama girls. I really love that Michelle Obama chooses to dress her girls in age-appropriate clothing instead of letting them wear looks that are too grown up (like some 7- and 10-year-olds wear). One thing is for sure: the First Family really loves J. Crew.
The Obamas’ young daughters set the style standard for youngsters with their adorable, ribbon-belted Crewcuts looks for Inauguration Day.

Own a Piece of (Designer) History with Inaugural Collections
Tory Burch, Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Karan and other major designers have created pieces especially for the inauguration. Tory Burch and DVF each did a canvas tote ($70) with their individual interpretations of President Obama. Zac Posen, Donna Karan and Derek Lam all created T-shirts ($45) and Alexander Wang has created a $40 scarf.

Michelle Obama’s Style: Sheath Dress
Michelle Obama’s favorite public appearance look features the no-nonsense, work-ready standby: the sheath dress. From long-sleeve to sleeveless sheaths, Michelle Obama favors the silhouette’s body-skimming cut that flatters both her height and her curves.

Michelle Obama’s Election Night Dress
She’s been named the best-dressed woman in the world, but Michelle Obama’s election night dress left some fans wondering if the First-Lady-to-be could still lead the style world. My vote’s in for Michelle Obama to still set a wonderful fashion vibe (in fact, many of the dress styles she wear work for most women); the red and black Narciso Rodriguez (thanks to Fashiontribes for digging up that one) that she wore on election night was simply ruined by a black cardigan. I know I’ve been guilty of tossing an errant sweater over a perfectly good outfit. But, then again, my hubby has never been named the leader-elect of the free world.

Michelle Obama’s Makeup for the Inauguration
Makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Myles (MsIngrid) is the talented artist chosen to do Michelle Obama’s makeup for the Presidential Inauguration on Tuesday January 20th. She has worked with a multitude of politicians and celebrities in the past including the Obama’s, Colin Powell, Sarah Ferguson, Caroline Kennedy, Katie Couric, and many more. MsIngrid is very familiar with Mrs. Obama’s style and features, since she has done Michelle’s makeup in the past and has been a friend to the Obama’s for the past five years. So what will the new first lady wear for the inauguration? According to Marie Claire’s Australian website, she will be using Australia-based ModelCo’s Colorbox Eyeshadow for her daytime look. Unfortunately this will not be the case since MsIngrid’s communication director informed me that Mrs. Obama will not be endorsing any certain products and MsIngrid will come up with the appropriate color schemes depending on the event.

Michelle Obama’s Inaugural Hair
With the Presidential Inauguration just days away, there’s only one big question on my mind right now. How will Michelle Obama wear her hair?

The real man of the hour, Mrs. Obama’s long time hair stylist, Rahni Flowers of Van Cleef Hair Studio in Chicago will be flying in to Washington DC to style the new first lady’s hair for all the events that surround the inauguration, according to this article in the Chicago Tribune on January 13th.

I can’t imagine being responsible for the hair of the first lady for such an important series of events, but rest assured this isn’t Mr. Flowers’ first rodeo, as he was also the artist behind her look on election night. So, how will Rahni style Michelle for the inauguration? If history repeats itself, I can imagine that she’ll wear a soft, turned under style like in the photo here during the democratic national convention. Personally, I love her hair pulled into a soft, elegant updo, and with the amazing gown that she’ll likely be wearing, I can only imagine that an updo would be perfect.
