The man behind Michelle Obama’s bridal-esque inaugural confection from four years ago

The man behind Michelle Obama’s bridal-esque inaugural confection from four years ago returned to the White House inaugural stage — this time in ravishing red.

It was the first time a designer had scored a one-two punch since Nancy Reagan and James Galanos graced the balls in the 1980s. Some fashion watchers expressed surprise that the first lady didn’t opt to pluck another unknown designer from obscurity and put them on the fashion map. On her feet, Jimmy Choos!!

“Some may dispute the quality of our president, but nobody disputes the quality of our first lady,” President Obama said by way of introducing his “date.”

It’s true!!

Minutes after the unveiling, Wu’s website crashed.

Since he exploded onto the style scene in 2009, thanks to Obama, Wu has dressed everyone from Target shoppers (his 2012 collection sold out in hours) to red carpet walkers (Diane Kruger, Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Saldana).

Congrats to Jason Wu!
