For her visit to the White House with husband, Barack Obama on Monday, she chose a bright coral dress straight from her closet.
The designer, Maria Pinto, had no idea Obama had elected to wear a piece from her collection to the White House until she saw her on TV.
“That’s what I love about her,” Pinto told Women’s Wear Daily. “She has things in her wardrobe, in her closet, and she’s ready to go.”
Pinto said that fashion choices “come very naturally” to Obama.
“In working with clients I have found that everyone has a button,” she told WWD. “For some, it’s angst-driven. For others, it’s more natural. Michelle is very natural.
She moves beautifully, and is naturally confident and comfortable. She knows what she looks good in but, at the same time, she’s open to suggestion.”
What does Pinto see Obama wearing for the January 20 inaugural ball?
“I see her sleek…. I don’t see her in a big, poufy ball skirt.”
She added: “A lot from the collection is sleek, but also with embellishment.”
