Watch: Michelle Obama's Inauguration Style

With the Inaugural Ball tonight, we're just dying to see which magnificent gown Michelle Obama will wear!

In our anticipation, we've already taken a look at sketches of gorgeous gowns Monique Lhuillier, Nanette Lepore and others designers created with the fabulous first lady in mind, and now we're turning to D.C. stylist Lauren A. Rothman for her first lady fashion predictions.

As it turns out, there's definitely a front runner rumored to be Obama's designer of choice, but Rothman also dishes on a few up-and-coming indie designers Mrs. Obama might turn to for her hubby's big day. It wouldn't be the first time she went with a young designer; she did help put Jason Wu on the map, after all, when she wore his stunning one-shoulder white dress at the 2008 ceremony.

But will Obama go with a more colorful choice this time around? And will she splurge on her dress, or mix high and low? Watch the video to find out what Rothman predicts for the fashionable first lady!
