Inaugural Fashion Lines Unfold At National Gallery
Thousands queued at the National Gallery to meet First Lady Lady Bird Johnson and Mrs. Hubert Humphrey as they preview outfits for the three day inaugural events. Johnson favors yellow and red gowns with a white ensemble for the oath and parade while Humphrey weighs empire gowns in red and blue. The First Lady’s gala look features a long white peau de soie with crystal embellishments. Humphrey considers two gowns for evening events, including an Empire red satin dress.
