(KTNV) -- It's the talk of the town this morning -- First Lady's Michelle Obama's stunning ruby inaugural ball gown.

Mrs. Obama sashayed around the dance floor in the chiffon and velvet grown, slow dancing with her husband to Al Green's "Let's Stay Together."

Many people are shocked that the first lady once again chose designer Jason Wu to design her dress.

We skyrocketed to the heights of fashion fame when the first lady wore a creation of his at the 2009 inaugural ball.

Earlier in the day, Mrs. Obama went with designer Thom Browne for the blue coat that she wore during the swearing-in ceremony.

Her outfit was carefully coordinated with the first daughters.

Malia wore J. Crew and Sasha sported a Kate Spade coat and dress.
