According to the Huffington Post, “Sections of the exhibition are devoted to the first ladies’ impact on fashion, her role as the nation’s hostess, inaugurations and formal events and the changing role over time.”

This is the 10th version of the exhibition in nearly 100 years.

We can’t wait see what beautiful dresses are featured!
