Today, Jan. 20, 2009, will surely be a day to remember for the history books—but one ya might wanna forget when it comes to fashion.

First lady Michelle Obama looked like a literal trophy wife as she stepped out with Prez Obama at the Inauguration in Dee-Cee today. Babe kept it classy in the cold, but did she have to look like she'd dipped herself in gold prior to the celebration?

The whole glittery yellow ensemble seemed a little bit too glitzy-grandma for us, espesh on a gal as young as Michelle. Still, coulda been worse—we coulda been criticizing Cindy McCain's duds. Shudder.
