The one and only Michelle Obama has been on the move! She just finished completing a world tour promoting her New York Times Bestselling book “Becoming”, and headed to Essence Festival in a few weeks. It’s no secret that our former (read: forever) First Lady serves looks!
Rocking a windowpane checkered Ralph & Russo suit above, Mrs. Obama single-handedly inspired us to up our suit game right before she hits the stage at Essence Festival.
If you’re ready to splurge, her two-piece ensemble goes for a pretty penny — the jacket running you a smooth $3, 667 and the pants going for $2,450.
However, if your bank account isn’t quite set up that way, no worries, we feel you. We’ve taken a look at her most recent suit wins and found some affordable options so you can slay as well. Shop below!
