Michelle Obama turns 45 today amid the neverending guessing game over what she'll wear to her husband's inauguration, a subject that continues to dominate faggy punditland. We have our own LOOK in mind, but should Michelle choose to go in a different direction, here's hoping she'll find a happy middle ground between the fashions embraced by two of our feyvorite FLOTUSes -- Lady BJ and Mrs. Reagan.
More inaugural gowns after the JUMP.
Hillary Clinton, 1993. It's a lotta look!
Laura Bush, 2001. So gross.
Jackie Kennedy, 1961. The klassiest!
Pat Nixon, 1973. At least it looks expensive.
Rosalynn Carter, 1977. Or is it the ghost of Diana Scarwid??
Eleanor Roosevelt, 1945. The Businesswoman's Special.
Mamie "lay me" Eisenhower, 1953.
UPDATE - by popular demand...Barbara Bush, 1989. A Claire Huxtable Christmas.
Wow -- amazing -- kinda want to see Barbara Bush now, too (never thought I'd say that).
Your wish is my command.
What's so bad about Laura Bush? Helluva lot better than the off-the-rack gown that Roslyn Carter bought in Plains!
