Fashion at the DNC: After speech, Michelle Obama's outfit has internet buzzing

Former First Lady Michelle Obama spoke at the second night of the Democratic National Convention Tuesday. As with her tenure in the White House, many online were curious about what she was wearing.
Women's Wear Daily said the "futuristic flair" came from luxury fashion brand Monse's resort 2025 collection. Vogue also covered the collection, which apparently included Obama's belted, crisscross, and sleeveless jacket with matching pants.
Fashion also came up in Obama's husband's speech, when the former president made a joke about vice presidential nominee Tim Walz's apparel, saying "those flannel shirts he wears, don't come from some political consultant. They come from his closet and they have been through some stuff."

Michelle Obama swipes at Donald Trump, urges crowd to 'do something'
Obama took both direct and indirect swipes at Republican nominee former President Donald Trump throughout the speech, pointing to Trump's birtherism and failures during the COVID 19 pandemic. The speech took a considerably more direct tone for the former first lady, who once famously uttered the phrase, "when they go low, we go high."
"Who's going to tell Trump that job he wants might be one of those 'Black jobs,'" Obama said.
The former first lady argued that Kamala Harris is one of the most qualified people to seek the office and connected the experience of Harris' mother to her own, who died in May.
Obama sought to energize fence straddling Democrats to turn out in November in the speech, turning the phrase, "do something" into a call and response chant.
"She is the most dignified (candidate)," she said. "That is a tribute to her mother, my mother and your mother too."
