Right now “it’s every designer’s dream to dress Michelle Obama,” according to Marc Bouwer. The New York designer was asked by PEOPLE to sketch their creations for the future First Lady and family, if they were ever offered the opportunity. Bouwer’s design (above) takes inspiration from Michelle’s “modern approach to dressing.”

“She’s probably the most body-conscious dresser out of any First Lady we’ve had, and her clothes have a more modern silhouette,” he said. “The designer who gets this will snag a major part of history. This will be remembered now and for forever.”

Michelle Obama will surely remember last night, the night her husband was elected the first African American President of the United States, forever. And we’ll be looking at pictures of it forever.

So it’s a good thing the future first lady chose a stylish Narciso Rodriguez dress. The red and black frock was based on a design from Rodriguez’s spring 2009 runway show.

Barack Obama wore a dark navy custom suit by Hart Schaffner Marx.

While we’re not sure what designers the Bidens were wearing, we appreciate their use of bright color! Very optimistic.

After Michelle Obama caused chatter with her Maria Pinto dress at the Democratic National Convention, we were waiting to see what the Republicans pulled out.

It looks like Cindy McCain’s expedition to the Oscar de la Renta showroom earlier in the summer paid off. John McCain’s wife wore a gold shirtdress by the designer for her plea at the Republican National Convention about hurricane Gustav relief.
