I toured the Obama Presidential Center and saw 12 of Michelle Obama's best looks, including a $19 Target dress
The Obama Presidential Center has 12 iconic Michelle Obama dresses — including the former president's favorite dress worn by the first lady.
During my visit to the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, I had the opportunity to view 12 of Michelle Obama's most iconic dresses. The exhibit features dresses from various stages of the first lady's career, including her election night look in 2008, her inauguration outfit, and a green embroidered dress worn at the Metropolitan Museum's Anna Wintour Costume Center.
One of the standout dresses is a sleeveless black-and-red dress by American designer Narciso Rodriguez. The hourglass silhouette of the sleeveless dress is emphasized by silk fabric at the waist. Michelle Obama wore the dress on election night in 2008, which was both a significant political moment and an opportunity to showcase her fashion sense.
Another notable dress is the yellow-green Isabel Toledo dress paired with a matching overcoat. The dress is a lemongrass-colored dress with a matching overcoat featuring a satin-backed wool lace pattern in a classic silhouette. Michelle Obama wore the outfit as her first look as the first lady of the United States. The outfit was praised for its bright, optimistic feel and included crystal necklaces, green leather gloves, and matching Jimmy Choo pumps.
The exhibit also includes a Thom Browne coat and knee-high boots look, which Michelle Obama wore to welcome French President François Hollande to the White House. This outfit features a bright red coat with a V-neck and a refined A-line silhouette, paired with leather gloves and black Jimmy Choo knee-high boots.
