Michelle Obama brought futuristic flair to the second day of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday in Chicago. The former first lady, one of the event’s main speakers, wore a tailored sleeveless jacket with a crisscross silhouette, which she paired with matching trousers.
Obama’s look was from Monse’s resort 2025 collection. She accessorized with Jimmy Choo’s Scarlett pumps and jewelry by David Yurman.

Monse is a luxury fashion brand founded in 2015 by Garcia and Laura Kim, who are also co-creative directors at Oscar de la Renta. During her time as first lady, she also wore Oscar de la Renta multiple times in her public engagements, including at the 2016 luncheon to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s 90th birthday. More recently, Obama wore Oscar de la Renta while attending the U.S. Open in 2023.
Obama took the stage on the second night of the DNC after Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff ‘s speech.

“Yes, Kamala and Tim are doing great now. We’re loving it, they’re packing arenas across the country, folks are energized. We are feeling good. But remember there are still so many people who are desperate for a different outcome,” Obama said. “So no matter how good we feel tonight or tomorrow or the next day this is going to be an uphill battle. This is up to us, all of us, to be the solution that we seek. It’s up to us to remember what Kamala’s mother told her: ‘Don’t just sit around and complain. Do something,’” she added.
