When our invitation to the Inaugural Ball finally arrives, we’ll definitely need something stand-out fabulous to wear. Right—we know the invitation isn’t coming (an oversight we’ll forgive this one time) but if did get one, we’d pick something elegant in a rich color—after all, this is a celebration, right? We like this Maggy London gown for its flattering shape, pairing it with feminine metallic sandals, for less than a hundred bucks:
 
Maggy London Chiffon Gown with Charmuese Waist, $78.90, Nordstrom
