Michelle Obama became a style icon shortly after arriving at the White House. Taking advantage of her role as her first lady, Barack Obama’s wife wanted to give young designers like Jason Wu, who was also an immigrant, a chance. The dressmaker became one of her favorites when it came to dressing her for big events.
But Michelle also wanted to keep in mind the most veteran designers with her looks that captured all eyes. Oscar de la Renta was one of her favorite signatures in her first lady wardrobe, an idyll that continues today as demonstrated on the first day of the US Open organized in New York.
The former first lady attended the championship with her husband. Once again, her styling drew attention. For the occasion, she chose a denim dress, one of the most trending pieces of the moment, signed by Oscar de la Renta. A midi-length A-line piece, with an elegant sweetheart neckline and seams throughout the body and skirt, which she wore with platform raffia sandals, very comfortable shoes.
As we said, the denim dress is one of the star garments of the season along with the skirt in the same fabric, but Michelle has already shown how to wear this piece in the weeks between seasons, when it cools down in the morning and at night but during the day it gets colder. You can go short sleeved.
The lawyer opted for a black cropped style cardigan, to match the sandals. A perfect choice to complete a look that she wore with a ponytail parted on one side and full of braids.
Firms have already included the denim dress in their autumn collections. These are some of the proposals to imitate the look of Obama and that serves both for the office and for an informal plan.
