Michelle Obama Election Night Dress Misstep

(Inauguration Update! Check out Michelle Obama in her Inaugural Ball Gown choice: a gorgeous, ethereal white one-shoulder number by Jason Wu.)

The normally impeccable Michelle O made a questionable choice for her husband's historic election night victory: a red & black Narciso Rodriguez frock from Spring 2009.  While eyecatching on the runway, it's less than flattering in real life, especially paired with a black cardi which throws off the proportions.  (If you want to rock the look yourself for less - CLICK HERE.) However, every fashionista worth her salt takes risks (two words: Carrie Bradshaw) which means the occasional misstep.  But happily, as the chic camel & black Narciso she wore to the pre-inaugural events & this mini Michelle Obama fashion retrospective by British Vogue proves, a fabulous new day will dawn on January 20th for fashion in the White House come Barack Obama's swearing in as the 44th U.S. President:
