The energy was palpable as Michelle Obama made her much-anticipated appearance at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The former first lady exuded confidence and style as she took the stage in a striking Monse outfit from the Resort 2025 collection.
Designed by the talented duo Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim, who are also co-creative directors at Oscar de la Renta, Monse has been making waves in the world of luxury fashion since its inception in 2015. Obama’s choice to wear a tailored sleeveless jacket with a unique crisscross silhouette, paired with matching trousers, demonstrated her impeccable taste and fashion-forward approach.

She accessorized the look with Jimmy Choo’s elegant Scarlett pumps and jewelry by David Yurman, perfectly capturing a blend of sophistication and modernity. Her sartorial game has always been closely watched and admired, with her previous appearances in outfits from renowned designers like Oscar de la Renta cementing her status as a style icon.
As she addressed the audience at the DNC, Michelle Obama delivered an impassioned speech, urging for continued efforts toward positive change in support of the US presidential candidate and current Vice President, Kamala Harris.
“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,” she remarked.
Obama continued: “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.’”

Following her speech, Michelle Obama was joined on stage by her husband, former President Barack Obama, adding to the significance of the moment. Together, they delivered a compelling narrative that emphasized the importance of collective action and shared responsibility.
The 2024 Democratic National Convention was also attended by prominent figures such as Vice President Kamala Harris, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and former President Bill Clinton.
