In 2008, when Barack Obama was sworn into office, newly-minted first lady Michelle Obama proudly stood next to him. She held the Bible as he made the oath to our country, donning a custom lemongrass Isabel Toledo dress and coat, with her coily curls smoothed into a voluminous silk press. And while her outfit screamed modern and memorable—an aesthetic mirroring Jackie Onassis' clean-cut pink suit and unforgettable pillbox hat—we were ushered into an era not seen since that time: a first lady with influential style. Her relatable J.Crew picks sold out by the minute; small POC designers like Jason Wu became household names—diversity was represented on T.V. and became a part of history.
While Michelle's sartorial choices and mere presence in the White House seemingly illustrated progress in Western society, her hair choices conveyed that America still has a long way to go.
