Dotted with beads and covered in fabric petals, Mrs. Obama's gown was a star attraction at 10 inaugural balls held on a frigid Jan. 20, 2009 to celebrate Barack Obama's swearing-in earlier that day as the nation's 44th president. (AP Photo)

The one-shouldered, white chiffon gown, designed by Jason Wu has became a part of the Smithsonian's First Ladies Collection.
