Barack Obama may be making history as the first African-American President-elect, but Michelle Obama is the one designers are clamoring to dress. The First Lady-to-be has proven her worth as a smart, talented political partner, wife and mom, but also her fashionista status. Over the months leading up to the election as well as on election day, she wore everything from designs from her fellow Chicago native and friend, Maria Pinto, to simple, classic looks from H&M and J. Crew, to her election day dress designed by Narciso Rodriguez. Now she’s preparing to ready herself for the January 20th inauguration, and the surrounding Presidential balls and galas. Sketches for her inauguration dress were submitted by all the top designers, from Michael Kors to Tracy Reese to Marc Jacobs and Badgley Mischka. Here are some of the best designs:
