Michelle Obama has sent her second inaugural gown to the Smithsonian Institution for display.

The dress, along with Obama's Jimmy Choo shoes, will now be ready for public viewing.

This is a historical first for the museum as it has never before showcased a gown from a second inauguration because usually first ladies allow their first gowns to go on display at the Smithsonian, but reserve their second inaugural dresses for presidential libraries, the Washington Times reported.

The current First Lady's ruby-colored chiffon gown from Jason Wu is on loan to the National Museum of American History for the next year.

At the same time, the facility is showcasing its 100th anniversary collection of items of the first ladies.
