Michelle Obama wears design by Isabel Toledo on Inauguration day

The dress and matching coat were made of a combination of fabrics—lace over wool, both of a slightly shiny, pale green-gold hue that Ms. Toledo dubs “lemongrass.” The designer incorporated a pashmina lining and handquilted cotton into the construction of the dress for warmth, since Mrs. Obama would be wearing the ensemble outdoors during the swearing-in and inaugural parade. (Mrs. Obama paired the ensemble with green patent-leather Jimmy Choo heels that were custom-ordered through Chicago boutique Ikram, according to the high-end shoe label.)
