While all eyes were fixed on her during the inaugural event at the White House, Michelle Obama chose to wear an outfit created by Cuban-American designer Isabel Toledo.
"In continuing with her tradition of selecting American designers for her clothing choices, Mrs. Obama is wearing an Isabel Toledo ensemble to her husband’s Swearing-In Ceremony and today’s Inaugural Parade,” a White House spokesperson told Access Hollywood yesterday (January 20).
The news delighted Isabel Toledo, who joked, “I’m in the White House! Well, I’m in the closet of the White House.”
This isn’t the first time that Mrs. Obama has confided in the former Anne Klein designer. Last June, she wore one of Toledo’s designs while on a campaign in New York.
