The big news out of the Smithsonian this week was the donation of Michelle Obama’s inaugural gown to the National Museum of American History. Mostly, I was pleased for Taiwan-born designer Jason Wu, who will forever be enshrined on the Mall.
But there was little mention of Michelle’s shoes–white satin Jimmy Choos, with what looks to be a 4-inch heel.
First, I’m impressed she made it through all those inaugural balls in these things. Second, Jimmy Choo may get the biggest publicity boost of all the players involved in this donation. Earlier today, when I stopped by to snap this, tourists kept murmuring his name as if chanting a mantra.
First Ladies at the Smithsonian is a permanent exhibit at the National Museum of American History.
