Michelle Obama Attends the US Open In A Red, White, And Blue Striped Dress
Over the last three weeks, stars and notable figures of all calibers traveled to Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York to attend matches for this year's US Open. On Thursday, September 10th, one of the most notable guests in the crowd was none other than Michelle Obama.
The Becoming author was photographed sitting in the crowd on the sunny afternoon, cheering on players who made it to the women's singles semifinals, including America's Coco Gauff, who ended up losing to Elena Rybakina. However, she and other athletes had support from the Chicago native, who excitedly sat locked in throughout the day, watching the court. For the event, she also showed pride and support for her country with a red, white, and blue dress.
Michelle's striped dress was a button-down with a collar, long sleeves, and a long, straight silhouette. Its preppy aesthetic was paired with a beige designer handbag with a gold chain and her otherwise understated jewelry, including some small gold hoop earrings and rings on both hands. Her long, dark hair was worn in braids and tied back into a low bun, with small face-framing pieces left down.
