Michelle Obama's Inaugural Ball Dress: All the Details

Wu for the win! For her second-term inaugural ball, First Lady Michelle Obama went back to an old favorite: Jason Wu, the designer whose one-shouldered white gown she wore to the first inauguration celebration back in 2009. This time around, the 49-year-old wore a stunning new creation by Wu, a custom ruby chiffon and velvet gown, as she danced with her husband, President Barack Obama, sworn in earlier on Monday, Jan. 21, in front of the U.S. Capitol.

The FLOTUS -- who debuted her new bangs last week -- accessorized her bold gown with a handmade diamond embellished ring by Kimberly McDonald, and shoes designed by Jimmy Choo.

Michelle joined the President, clad in a tux, for their first dance: This time, it was Al Green's classic "Let's Stay Together," as sung by Jennifer Hudson. Ahead of Monday's very special dance, the President told a crowd he most definitely approves of his wife's talked-about hair switchup."First of all, I love Michelle Obama," he began. "And to address the most significant event of this weekend, I love her bangs. . . She looks good. She always looks good."

Huffington Post's social media editor spotted the epic photobombing incident while watching CNN's coverage of the inaugural parade. As the screenshot shows, 14-year-old Malia leans in to block the picture -- with a funny face, no less -- at the exact moment the newly sworn-in POTUS is puckering up for a sweet smooch with his wife.

And Malia's photobomb was not the only such incident on Inauguration Day. A few hours earlier, singer Kelly Clarkson was photobombed by former President Bill Clinton as she performed "My Country 'Tis of Thee" with the United States Marine Band. The hilarious snapshot was uploaded to Twitter soon after.
