Michelle Obama made a meaningful fashion statement at the inauguration of the Barack Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, Illinois, choosing a look that doubled as a tribute to her late mother, Marian Robinson.
The former first lady wore a custom Acne Studios FW26 RTW pencil skirt featuring a sepia portrait of her mother as a young woman, paired with a dark short-sleeve top and accessorized with Spinelli Kilcollin and Yvonne Lyon jewellery. The look was styled by her longtime collaborator Meredith Coupe. See the original skirt on the runway below:
Obama was joined on stage by former President Barack Obama as the couple addressed stakeholders at the historic event. Her choice to honor her mother through her clothing added a deeply personal dimension to the occasion.
