Twitter Report! Inauguration Edition

by The Daily Front Row
To wear Jason Wu (again) or not to wear Jason Wu. That was the question on Michelle Obama‘s mind pre-inauguration. In 2009, the First Lady wore a white, one-shoulder gown by Wu to the Inaugural Ball, catapulting the designer to fashion stardom. Four years later, Wu again worked closely with Mrs. Obama’s team, yet there was no confirmation as to whether or not she’d remain loyal. As America watched her take the stage, the Twitter community exploded, starting with Wu’s shocked tweet. As for the rouge number’s next destination? Off to the Smithsonian! 

Jason Wu (‏@JasonWu): #Inshock!!!

Mickey Boardman ‏(@AskMrMickey): It’s INSANE how worked up we all are about FLOTUS’ dress! Mrs O is the biggest thing to happen to fashion in DECADES.

Not Bill Walton (‏@NotBillWalton): CNN is going nuts over Michelle Obama’s dress. I had to make sure I wasn’t watching The Chris Bosh Show on Bravo. Oh, the humanity!
