Well-heeled Michelle turns heads with her fashion
In typical fashion, all eyes were on Ms O’s trousseaux, which consisted of a beige trench coat, cashmere sweater, and trademark kitten heels offset by rust trousers for her Northern Ireland address. The politically discreet hue underscored the message of peace and neutrality to a 2,000-strong invited audience of young adults. Equally fitting were the style choices of her daughters: Colour pops of hot pink, neon green, and purple — a sign of optimism and future hope reflected in the first lady’s speech.
Style semantics can often get lost in translation, however, as proven by Mobama’s side-swept fringe, which has been the cause of recent tress distress. Having been branded “a bad idea” by outspoken designer Karl Lagerfeld, her locks caused similar controversy in Belfast with Twitter users decrying it as “distracting”.
