Oscar de la Renta has divulged details about the gown Hillary Clinton will wear to the inaugural ball on Tuesday. The future Secretary of State will wear a custom piece by the renowned designer, who also happens to be a favourite of current First Lady Laura Bush - de la Renta designed Bush's gown for the 55th Presidential Inaugural Ball, and she is often seen wearing his women's suits.

De la Renta says she will be “wearing a very, very beautiful dress…pink and grey with this beautiful embroidery.” Oscar continues on to say that he “love[s] Hillary,” but they do fight about her revealing more skin. “You know, Hillary, in a sense, is sort of very prudish about the type of clothes she likes to wear and you know from the waist up she really looks great.

De la Renta also designed Hillary's day look, which will adopt royal blue hues.

Still no word yet on what Michelle Obama will wear; details surrounding her inaugural ball gown and its designer have been kept tightly under wraps.

"From the waist up" - is that supposed to be a compliment?

My pick's still Cassandra Bromfield for Michelle's dress.
