Obamas walking down Pennsylvania Avenue in inauguration day parade\u003cbr/\u003eWhen the US president Barack Obama was inaugurated in 2009 all eyes were on what his wife Michelle wore to the ceremony, the parade and the ball.\u003cbr/\u003eSince then Michelle has become a global style icon and there is much speculation of what designers she will favour this inauguration. \u003cbr/\u003eBarack Obama and his wife Michelle made their fashion debuts on the worldwide stage at Obama's first inauguration in 2009.\u003cbr/\u003eOver the last four years, the First Lady has cemented herself as a fashion icon, and the president generally scores high fashion marks too. \u003cbr/\u003eStylist Lauren Rothman says whatever they wear this time around should show respect for the country and offer gratitude to its voters. \u003cbr/\u003e\"And they want to be wearing an outfit that says that, that says, 'we're proud to be here and thank you for re-electing us.'\"\u003cbr/\u003eMichelle Obama has a lot to live up to for her husband's second swearing-in and inauguration parade. \u003cbr/\u003eRothman says she took people's breath away on that cold day in January 2009 when she emerged wearing a bold lemongrass Isabel Toledo dress with matching coat. \u003cbr/\u003eIt was unusual and unexpected , not what the country was used to seeing, as Rothman explains.\u003cbr/\u003e\"When they came out and said, 'we're here, and the nation is changing,'  And, that's what it said when she came out in that outfit.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMichelle Obama's colourful ensemble echoed her husband's campaign messages of hope and change.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe ethereal off-white, one-shouldered gown she wore to the inauguration ball that evening also made a statement.  \u003cbr/\u003eAgain, the nation was not used to seeing a First Lady with bare arms.\u003cbr/\u003eThe dress was made by an unknown American designer at the time, then 26-year-old Jason Wu.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe attention surrounding the dress helped launch Wu's budding career.  \u003cbr/\u003eHe now has a line of clothes and Michelle Obama still wears his creations.\u003cbr/\u003eWhoever designs the First Lady's outfits this year is one of Washington's best kept secrets.\u003cbr/\u003eRothman speculates on who the lucky designer will be - be it a he or she..\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think she will wear different designers.  I think she will stay American.  I think she may even continue to support emerging designers.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAs a stylist Rothman says she generally narrows down her clients' dress choices to three possibilities for a big night, and then there is the decision of the accessories.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think it really isn't until the final night that it goes to depending on how you're feeling and what you're in the mood to wear.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe same might be said for anyone lucky enough to snag a ticket to an inaugural ball.  \u003cbr/\u003eThey'll have some new fashion trends to consider, bold colours, dresses with straps and fabric cut-outs are popular in women's formal wear in 2013.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd don't forget the sparkles.  Gemstones both real and false are adorning everything from shoes to purses. \u003cbr/\u003eRothman says often you know when the right dress, pair of shoes and accessories come together.\u003cbr/\u003e\"You feel that energy, that it is something special.  That it is something different.\"\u003cbr/\u003eInauguration day is one of the United States' most important days, and turns into one of Washington's most glamorous nights.  \u003cbr/\u003eIt's a once-in-every-four-years chance to go all out and make a statement with your clothes.\u003cbr/\u003eThe world is poised to see what designers the Obamas will choose to endorse on the day.
