ICONIC INAUGURAL GOWNS

I always love seeing the fashion choices of prominent women in our society. The Inaugural Ball gives the First Ladies the opportunity to "introduce" herself to the people, if you will. I can only imagine how fun it must be to pick out a gown for an event such as this. I'm sure it's an honor for any designer to get to work with the newest leading lady in office.

Here's a look at the most iconic Inaugural gowns through out history.
