Michelle Obama wears bold floral print to first debate

(2008)

Company: Thakoon
Collection: Wardrobe


Collector's Notes: In the first debate Michelle Obama wore a floral red dress by Thakoon. She never seems to make the wrong choice because she looked amazing. She had an accented bow on her neckline. That is something that definitely makes it become a style of her own. Michelle Obama wore her hair loose and it had a lot of volume.

Collection: Wardrobe


Collector's Notes: On the cover of More magazine for the October 2008 issue Michelle Obama was in the front. She wore a Mario Pinto dress like the picture shown just a little lighter. It happens to be that Michelle Obama?s favorite color is purple. On the picture of the magazine cover we also see her having an accent on the neckline and a satin bow on the left side.

Company: Narciso Rodriguez
Collection: Wardrobe


Collector's Notes: Michelle Obama wore a beautiful Narciso Rodriguez dress to a Congressional Black Caucus dinner in September of 2008. At that dinner her husband Barack Obama was given the Harold Washington Award. This beautiful dress was a peachy color with black accents. Narciso Rodriquez is one of those designers that are amongst Michelle Obama?s favorites.

Company: Alexander McQueen
Collection: Wardrobe


Collector's Notes: On the September issue of Ebony magazine cover Michelle Obama was the one there. She looked as amazing as she always does in anything she wears. This time she wore a black suit from Alexander McQueen's Spring 2008 runway collection. This black suit had a really unique form-fitting cut with ruffles around the neck. This suit was perfect for her and it made her look very elegant.
 
Michelle Obama goes for bold colors. (Macy's and other clothing stores)

Michelle Obama goes for bold colors.

(2008)

Company: Macy's and other clothing stores
Collection: Wardrobe


Collector's Notes: Michelle Obama can be seen most of the time with a dress or pants on. She also wears suits and when she does she makes sure that they stand out. Her style revolves around colors that are strong and bold. This picture was taken at a rally in St. Paul on June 3,2008. Michelle Obama is wearing a red suit that has drapey sleeves. The sleeves are what make the suit so different compared to other suits worn before. I am unsure of where this suit is from but similar ones can be found in stores like Macy?s.
