How to Dress up Like Michelle Obama
Get some style inspiration from the classiest First Lady yet.
She may be on her way out of the White House, but she’ll never depart from the public’s sartorial eye (or our hearts).
To celebrate Michelle Obama‘s eight years of fashionable attire in the White House (alongside eight years of tireless crusading against childhood obesity and unequal educational opportunities through her FLOTUS campaigns), we wanted to dedicate this celebrity-inspired post to her.
[Note: Because the outfits are largely based off of warm weather outfits, you will need to add a coat or other piece of outerwear to your look for winter wear. Also, if you’re looking for more Obama fashion inspiration, check out my last article, “How to Dress up Like Malia and Sasha Obama“!]
Style Inspiration #1: Feminine & Floral
Style tip:
To update the classy-meets-preppy style that Michelle Obama favors, trade in her favorite brand of turquoise pearls and embroidered flowers for hip twisted beads and floral prints. It’ll be more youthful than the original look, but just as snazzy.
