As you’ve probably seen by now, the new First Lady, Michelle Obama, was wearing a sparkling yellow, knee-length dress along with a matching coat on Inauguration Day.
And we’ve just found out that the dress was made by one of our fellow Cuban Americans!
Designer Isabel Toledo made Obama’s outfit for the swearing-in ceremony.
Toledo attended New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons School of Design and she’s been designing under her name for more than 20 years.
Toledo is married to fashion illustrator Ruben Toledo and you can find her outfits at Barneys New York. She was also the creative director of Anne Klein for some time.
What do U think of Michelle Obama’s outfit?
