The last time I blogged about election clothing, it was about the brouhaha over Cindy McCain's gazillion dollar outfit at the Republican Convention.

Now, there's an even bigger brouhaha surrounding the buzz about Michelle Obama's Inaugural ball gown. Women's Wear Daily posted a feature showing what various designers sketched for her for the Inaugural Ball. The post has had nearly six million hits, and climbing.

WWD's What should Michelle wear?

I, for one, have been surprised that Michelle Obama is constantly called a style icon and compared to Jacqueline Kennedy. Most of her dresses are so plain, no spunk, and what were the red blobs on the election night dress all about? What do you think? Will Michelle Obama be the next Jackie O or Lady Di, the style icon of our time?
