Will Michelle Obama Attend the CFDA Awards? And if so, Who Will She Wear?

Michelle Obama has a pretty good track record when it comes to choosing up-and-coming fashion designers. In fact, by the looks of this year's CFDA nominees, we're thinking Mrs. O is a designer's lucky charm.

And since the CFDA awards ceremony -- where rising stars in fashion are recognized -- is fast approaching (Monday, June 15), here's the big question in fashion circles: Will Mrs. Obama drop in on one of the fashion industry's biggest nights? The bigger question: If so, who will she wear?

She's worn Thakoon looks to support her husband at the Democratic National Convention (above left) and to travel to Europe. Thakoon is up for the Swarovski Award for womenswear.

She's worn Narciso Rodriguez designs for election night (above middle), to the We Are One Concert, and to meet with Carla Bruni in France. Rodriguez is up for the CFDA womenswear designer of the year.

She's worn Jason Wu creations to meet the Queen of England, to travel to London and to the Inaugural Ball (above right). Wu is also up for the Swarovski Award for womenswear.

Our guess is as good as yours, but we have to say, the First Lady is very diplomatic. Perhaps she'll select someone not in contention for a trophy. Maybe old favorite Isabel Toledo?

What we do know, is that StyleList's high-profile blogger for the night, Nadja Swarovski, will be wearing a one-of-a-kind black silk faille sheath dress created exclusively for her by Jason Wu. Click here for a sneak peek and make sure to be here Monday night for our live coverage.
