Michelle Obama’s Best Fashion Moments of All Time

by Laura Lajiness Kaupke

Michelle Obama has been nothing short of inspirational over the past two decades. From her heroic speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention and her valiant championing for gender equality and female empowerment, to her love story with President Obama that gives us all the feels, the First Lady is the epitome of #goals. While her political endeavors are hugely impactful, we’re also big fans of her expertise in another area: her wardrobe, of course. From her iconic Inaugural Ball gowns (both by Jason Wu) to her penchant for modern looks by up-and-coming designers (who subsequently then see a meteoric rise in fame and sales), Mrs. Obama’s masterful approach to style is second to none. Though she’ll soon be departing the White House, we’re sure she’ll continue to top our best-dressed lists for years to come. Here, our favorite fashion moments to date from one of the most incredible first ladies of all time.
