Obama attended the inauguration wearing a matching overcoat and look by Sergio Hudson. The plum-coloured outfit consisted of a turtleneck, wide-legged trousers, and matching belt with a gold circle buckle cinched at her waist.
Sergio Hudson, a Black American designer who has also worked with Rihanna and Beyoncé, has long been a favourite of the former First Lady, harpersbazaar.com.
The outfit even impressed fashion icon and singer Lady Gaga, who told the former first lady “You look so wonderful” while exiting the dais after her inauguration ceremony performance.
