Michelle Obama Wears Thom Browne for ‘The Look’ Press Tour

Michelle Obama appeared during The Look press tour wearing a bejeweled Thom Browne suit from the designer’s Fall 2025 collection, bringing a measured dose of ornamentation to one of fashion’s most controlled shapes.

The charcoal-grey tweed ensemble consisted of a long blazer and matching maxi skirt, detailed with oversized gemstone embellishments arranged in abstract linear patterns. Rather than overwhelming the tailoring, the designs followed the structure of the suit, tracing its lines and showing Browne’s emphasis on form and proportion.

She styled the look with a crisp gingham shirt, a navy striped tie, and black-and-white brogue heels, keeping the palette restrained and the focus on construction. A low updo and black manicure completed the appearance, maintaining a sharp, contained finish.

This marks another moment in Obama’s long relationship with Thom Browne. She previously wore the designer during Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013, selecting a navy coat-and-dress outfit that introduced Browne’s precise tailoring to a global audience. More than a decade later, her return to the brand shows a comfort with its more embellished direction.

The look landed quietly yet decisively, showing Obama’s preference for clothes that rely on structure, intention, and restraint even when ornament enters the picture.
