Michelle Obama Wore Her Slate Gray Pinstripe Power Suit With a Corset Top
She's been serving CEO-core on the campaign trail.
Michelle Obama is continuing her streak of CEO-approved power suits while hitting the campaign trail. As the former first lady ramped up her pre-election appearances in support of presidential candidate Kamala Harris, she leaned into a fall corpcore aesthetic with a slate gray pinstripe suit paired with a strapless corset-style top.
With singer Alicia Keys at her side, Obama rallied for the Democratic ticket in Norristown, a suburb of Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Nov. 2. While Harris headed to New York City for a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live, the Becoming author leaned into a moody fall color palette for her speech in the battleground state.
The former first lady stepped out in a tailored pinstripe suit, which featured subtle power shoulders and a relaxed fit. Obama wore her thigh-length blazer jacket open and unbuttoned, showing off a seemingly sleeveless body-con top in the same pattern and color underneath. The casual silhouette extended to her wide-leg slacks, which offered a glimpse of her nude shoes as she walked on stage.
The politician leaned into the gray colorscape with silver hardware, from the rows of buttons on her blazer jacket to her simple drop earrings. Several chunky silver rings also adorned her fingers. Obama added a black fabric headband and wore her mahogany-highlighted hair down in long loose curls. A subtle smokey eye and nude lip were the finishing touches of Obama’s weekend look.
In addition to recent appearances in Georgia and Michigan, Obama has been busy making a last-minute push for Harris on Instagram, including tagging her A-list “voting squad” with Kelly Rowland, Shonda Rhimes, Victoria Monet, Kerry Washington, Rita Wilson, Liza Koshy, Jurnee Smollett, and Patti Springsteen.
On Oct. 31, she also shared some throwback photos from her and former President Barack Obama’s past Halloweens in the White House, including shots of her and her husband handing out candy to kids. “This Halloween, make voting your superpower,” she urged. “Make sure you have a plan to vote.”
