Lordy they're a beautiful couple 😍 Michelle is absolutely killing it all the time, what an inspiration to dress how you feel beautiful and never apologize to those who might be poor enough in taste to try and criticize. She's such an icon 🙌🏼
Michelle Obama’s personal style has really evolved now that she doesn’t have to dress like a Politician’s Wife™️. (Not that she ever had to but I’ll never forget how cruel people were about her clothing and body.)
So true!! Michelle has always served and I loved all of her First Lady looks. But I love her more casual and flashy style now that she has more freedom even more. Ugh a true fashion icon.
She was so classy! I don’t love all her post-FLOTUS looks but I love that she’s getting to express herself. Being the first Black First Lady was a tough gig.
Agree with you and the commenter you responded to. She's a stunning woman. She has been vilified by certain individuals based on her height, skin color, gender, political affiliation, etc., but has there ever been any legitimate issue with the content of her character?
I can't remember a single incident where she was ungracious, unkind, insulting, or rude toward anyone ever. She has always been elegant and exuding positivity. Her critics must be very sad people.
Love how people were so upset about healthier meals in public schools but are totally fine with rfkjr’s beef tallow roadkill nonsense. Insanity. USA USA
It's wild to me because her arms are like... the arms of someone who works out and takes care of themselves. That's not a knock, she looks great, but it's not like she has some crazy huge bodybuilder arms or something.
Just racist dog whistling. White people tell me this all the time as a mixed person and I just roll my eyes. Yes, many women have visible muscles. It's like, get over it.
I never understood the tan suite thing and probably really never will. I’m not from USA but I loved these two! Loved seeing them listening to them. The words came from their hearts. Now omg I can’t look, listen, see the dung there now. Merry Christmas🤗
If Michelle had braids while living in the White House, every republican in the country would take it as a personal attack and probably have a stroke. 🙄
Right 😂😂 it’s ridiculous, because she looks beautiful and extremely put together. But you know it would offend the crap out of them as if she were meeting with world leaders rocking an unwashed messy bun lol.
He looked very weary at the end of the his presidency. I
Imagine knowing especially knowing what was taking over made it even worse. He looks 10 years younger here and it’s 10 years later…. Man, wish I could pull that off!
We wore them in the early 2000s, but underneath other shirts or sweaters to give the illusion of wearing a turtleneck. I love how old styles are remixed for a new generation
what m akes it a "gen z outfit". millenials have been wearing boleros and shrug tops for years. gen z didn't create these tops. women whove hadc old arms or wanted to cover their arms have used boleros tops forrever.
The tan suit bull was so stupid. Meanwhile we have a president who wears a diaper and suits that don’t fit and ties that are too long and is a pedophile
i noticed Michelle doesn’t have the sort of Eurocentric hair/hairstyle anymore as she did when she was First Lady (and on that note, her and Jill Biden are the First Ladies of my heart), she has let her hair down and let it be more natural and i LOVE this for this
He can get away from just suits and more suits. His suit game was great, but there is more to modern male fashion than that and he can explore way more now.
I remember during Trump's first term I saw a post with something like, "Can we maybe get Obama back on a month-to-month plan while we figure out a better president?" Still would love this 😭
Oh to have a president who could put down his damn phone and get off twitter. It's like he actually enjoys getting less attention, while Trump is going to keep stirring controversy until he dies lest someone not follow his every move.
To be fair, the current swamp monster in the White House makes us miss any half decent or even objectively bad previous president in the last decades. Even including men like Bush senior and junior. We are dredging such depths right now it is kind of unbelievable.
It is true that Obama was one of the better ones, though.
I miss Michelle. Such an inspiring woman. I love how she broke tradition and didn't attend the inauguration of fuck face in 2024. No need to fake nice. It seems like she is feeling more and more comfortable being herself and I love it. She looks stunning.
during his time in office, i wasn't the biggest fan of Obama and criticized some of his policies. after ten years of the shit show we have now though? you bet your ass i miss him
This year I thrifted a beautiful textile and upon a Google image search I realized it lies in the Barack Obama Presidential Library. I found a piece that was gifted to Michelle by the Ambassador of Mexico and this year it was one of my favorite finds. I will never part with it and it brings me joy to know I have a good eye!
What kind of holiday message is that? Where's the part excoriating his enemies? Crowing about his accomplishments (both real and imaginary)? This definitely didn't give me the same warm fuzzy feelings of the current president's holiday message. <smh over that f@#$ing orange a@@hole>
I love how Michelle is embracing HER time to shine. She supported him and the abuse her and her children had to endure because of the public nature of the role was/is obscene.
Live your life on your terms, woman. And I love to see a man hyping his lady up. 💚
