And FLOTUS, 50, made sure everyone knew it when she gathered fashion designers, editors, and tastemakers at the White House for a Fashion Education Workshop on Wednesday, Oct. 8.
When asked at the conference for aspiring fashion students to learn about the industry if the First Lady has tried a pair of the slimming undies, Mrs. Obama swiftly replied, “We all wear them with pride!”
Throughout the event, President Barack Obama’s wife donned a navy blue halter dress, designed by one of the workshop’s participants: Natalya Koval, who attends the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.
