Throughout the previous years, Michelle Obama has shown grace and class with her personal style. She has worn gowns from Marchesa, Zac Posen, Prabal Gurung, Phillip Lim and more. Many designers have felt honored to work with her in the past being able to represent her through fashion.

As Melania Trump is set to take over as the first lady of the United States, her legacy in fashion may stray differently from Michelle Obama’s as various designers have refused to dress her. However, in the upcoming inauguration, Ralph Lauren and Karl Lagerfeld have already been speculated to dress Melania. Whether or not she will leave an impact as great as Michelle Obama still remains to be seen.
