First Lady Michelle Obama stunned in a red Jason Wu gown and diamond jewelry by designer Kimberly McDonald at the 2013 Inaugural Ball. The First Lady wore custom designed earrings and bangle bracelets featuring McDonald’s unique geode-outline shapes with rose-cut diamonds. The designer also worked with Jason Wu on the gown itself, which is adorned at the neckline with a diamond ring gathering the halter. Obama has sported Kimberly McDonald’s designs at other events, including the 2012 Democratic Convention.
