"Michelle Obama positively wowed us in her Doo.Ri dress at the state dinner last week, but what&amp;#x27;s even more impressive is the custom job she had the designer do to make it first lady-appropriate. See the changes that were made, plus more celebs who have donned custom jobs on the red carpet... Here&amp;#x27;s how The Washington Post tells it: &amp;quot;&amp;#x27;We were contacted after our spring show,&amp;#x27; Chung recalled. The first lady&amp;amp;#8217;s office told her that &amp;#x27;they really loved the strapless purple gown.&amp;#x27; But all parties both knew there were some modifications that needed to happen. &amp;#x27;What we showed was a lot more risqu&amp;amp;eacute; than what the First Lady could wear. Obviously a thigh-high slit would not work.&amp;#x27;&amp;quot; They also added a strap across one shoulder and a jeweled belt, taking the dress from youthful and chic to downright elegant. Pretty cool, huh? Check out a slew of other A-listers who have recently customized red carpet dresses to better suit their needs: When this futuristic striped dress made its way down the runway at Giorgio Armani&amp;#x27;s spring 2012 show a few weeks ago, it was a formal gown. But when Emma Stone chose it for a dinner last week, she had it cropped into a cocktail dress. Clearly the customization worked--she won our best dressed poll in this dress with 43% of the votes. Amber Heard was nothing but bombshell in this drop-dead red gown by Elie Saab, but it wasn&amp;#x27;t always this sexy. She accentuated the thigh-high slit by taking the sleeves off and going strapless. Jaime King attended the Veuve Cliquot Polo Classic in LA last weekend in this dress from Jason Wu&amp;#x27;s spring 2012 collection. When it walked the runway, it was pure white, but her version is a warm champagne. When this Christian Dior dress hit the runway in Paris, it was stunning...but slightly scandalous. Michelle Williams wisely had it lined to make it wearable for photo opps. What do you gals think of these custom creations? Do you like the dresses better the way the celebs envisioned them, or the designer? Wanna see even more? Check these out!
