President Obama was dressed in a black tuxedo with a white bow tie, and the First Lady was beautiful in her Jason Wu full-length white gown.
Historian Carl Sferrazza Anthony, who's written about first ladies said of Michelle's dress choice: It's "a balancing act between a queen and a commoner. The inaugural gown is a metaphor for the first lady role.
"They reflect around the world an image of our country."
