Michelle Obama Is a Fan of Latino Designers
Michelle Obama just loves Latino designers.
It has been eight years since Michelle Obama has moved into the White House, and she has since become a style inspiration for many women.
The First Lady of the United States isn't new to fashion, especially Latino designers. In fact, even before her White House residency, FLOTUS has been loyal to Latino designers and she has been known to wear their designs to the Obama administration's most historical events, according to We Are Mitu.
As she enters her final year as FLOTUS, we look back at the Latino designers she has supported along the way.
- Chilean Designer Maria Cornejo
Michelle Obama is in love with Maria Cornejo's fun yet classy ensembles. FLOTUS likes bright colors, so this is a no-brainer.
At a school event, the First Lady wore a bright lime-green irregular top with matching purple and silver accessories.
During one family trip, she wore one of Cornejo's chic black and white dresses and paired it with a slim and beaded belt.

- Dominican Designer Oscar de la Renta
One of the 52-year-old's best looks is Oscar de la Renta's blue-and-black ensemble, which she wore at the 38th Annual Kennedy Center Honors in December last year, according to People.
A strapless number, the dress was perfect in highlighting her toned arms. While stylish and classy, the design's swirly blue pattern balanced out the dress for the holiday season. She paired the dress with a slicked back and pinned hairdo along with statement earrings as an accessory. However, the perfect accessory to her outfit at the time was President Barack Obama, who appeared debonair in a custom tuxedo.

- Cuban Designer Narciso Rodriguez
Michelle's most recent Narciso Rodriguez number was at President Obama's State of the Union address. The bright marigold, sleeveless, wool dress with a high neckline came straight out of the Narciso Rodriguez Fall 2015 collection. She rocked that dress so well that it immediately sold out even before the president finished his speech.
Another Narciso Rodriguez ensemble that the First Lady took to a historical event is a body-hugging dress with a red design at the 2008 elections, which was the momentous day that her husband won the presidency.
Showing more love for the Latino community, Michelle Obama wore a Narciso Rodriguez number at the Latino Broadway celebration.

- Cuban-Born Isabel Toledo
FLOTUS wore Isabel Toledo at one of the Obama administration's most historical moments. Dressed in Toledo's lime-green lace midi bodycon ensemble and a matching coat, green leather gloves and green pumps, Michelle Obama made a statement at the 2009 Presidential Inauguration.
We Are Mitu reported that Michelle had been wearing Toledo's designs, which are sold at an Ikram, Chicago boutique, even before moving into the White House.
