First Lady Laura Bush has listed the designers that will be creating her wardrobe for the inaugural week, reports the Washington Post. The formal gown to be worn during the week’s festivities, although not to the inaugural balls is to be created by Carolina Herrera, who designed the burgundy velvet and organza gown that the first lady wore to Buckingham Palace in 2003.

Bush’s favorite Oscar de la Renta has been tapped as well. The newspaper says he almost certainly created the official inaugural gown as well as the swearing-in suit. And then there’s first lady’s most trusted designer Peggy Jennings, who has created the formal evening gown to be worn to the candlelight dinners the night before the inauguration. Bush began wearing Peggy’s clothes back when she was a governor’s wife in Texas. Although not taking part in the seasonal fashion shows, and not using any celebrity endorsement, Jennings has been in business for more than 25 years. She is known for her feminine day suits, which incorporate simple lines and cheerful colors, and her eveningwear which is pretty rather than sexy and is often stitched from imported laces. Jennings is also one of the few high-end designers whose collections are manufactured in the United States.

Notably, Dallas-based designer Michael Faircloth, who created Bush’s inaugural gown in 2001 has not been listed.
