She also doesn't have stylists anymore (I mean she totally could I suppose but I assume she doesn't have people picking out her clothes every single day for multiple events a day as she did before) and that freedom has lead to some errors. It also looks like she is reaching for loser fabrics that flow and its a completely wrong move. When you are heavier you need cleaner lines with more structure.
How Michelle Obama Decides What to Wear, According to Her Stylist Meredith Koop
Koop lifts the curtain on the former first lady's fashion choices.
Luckily, Obama found someone who could help her navigate that hornet's nest of hot takes: her longtime stylist, Meredith Koop. "I met Meredith when she was a young sales associate about a decade ago, and ever since, I’ve been blessed to have her by my side," she said. "She’s ridden with us through eight hectic years. She’s been a friend and mentor to our daughters."
Unfortunately for Michelle Obama, she won't have Koop around forever. "I don’t want to be styling people in five years," Koop admitted. She will, however, stick around for at least the duration of Obama's book tour.
And that recent ELLE cover? Yeah, that was Koop's work, too. It even has her tell-tale, down-to-earth ethos, albeit merged with the glossy magazine's vibe. As she wrote on Instagram, "fashion but make it relatable."

My God, these choices were made with a stylist.
