The First Lady to-be gets focused as her hubby blazed the campaign trail on Super Tuesday this fall. Michelle manages to make otherwise matronly-looking pearls appear modern and fresh. She has become known for subtle yet statement-making details like the puffed sleeves on this jacket.
During a campaign stop in Detroit last fall, Michelle shocked everyone by donning a belted sleeveless number from discount retailer H&M. Our soon-to-be First Lady continues to prove that good taste has nothing to do with money and also eliminated a few archaic fashion rules by fearlessly rocking horizontal stripes for the camera.
Like any busy wife and mother, Michelle Obama has become a master at multitasking. While maintaining a hectic schedule on her husband’s campaign trail last fall, our future First Lady kept her style game on point and picked up this cheery ensemble from jcrew.com for her Jay Leno appearance.
Michelle turned to fashion designer Maria Pinto for this simple yet sophisticated red sheath worn during the official tour of the house she’ll call home next month. Of her longtime client and muse Pinto says, “Mrs. Obama possesses a natural and unpretentious sophistication, which is reflected in her clothing. She will make an extraordinary First Lady.”
