The Doll World's very Own Jason Wu of Integrity Toys was chosen to design the inaugural ball gown for First Lady Michele Obama. She's shone here wearing a white chiffon, one-shoulder gown covered in fluffy appliques and beading.

"It's soft, feminine, but powerful; I wanted to convey all that in a dress," Wu told The Associated Press of the ivory, one-shouldered dress embellished with Swarovski crystals and fabric petals. "I wanted it to look like a sign of hope."
