Barack Obama wore the same tuxedo for all of his appearances during his eight years in office and was proud of it!
Michelle Obama opened up about her husband’s simple outfit choice while talking about the pressure for her to wear different things during every appearance.
According to Us Weekly, the former first lady revealed this during her talk at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference on Tuesday, adding “That’s the unfair thing, No matter what we do, he puts on that same tux.”
She also pointed out the double standard with men and women’s fashion saying, “Now, people take pictures of the shoes I wear, the bracelets, the necklace, they didn’t comment on that for eight years, he wore that same tux, same shoes.”
Lastly, she said “He was proud of it too, he was always like, ‘Mm! I’m ready. I’m ready in 10 minutes. Mmm — how long did it take you?’”

😊
8 years, same tux, same shoes! Nigerian Leaders comman see your mate oh! You people will be changing agbada and shoe like no man’s business sotey material was named after Atiku, You see your life.
That’s called simplicity and contentment. He was more concerned with serving his people the right than looking for house filled with too much tuxedo. He was a public servant unlike his counterparts in Nigeria
So, you expect me to believe it. What’s your point, Michelle? Obama didn’t wear the same tuxedo, he wore the same type of tuxedo. Stop the show of modesty. Nobody cares anymore.
Nobody cares anymore, you say…And yet, here you are still clicking and commenting on posts about her..
What’s with your spite and hostility towards her?
The great thing about post previews and free-will is that you can easily choose to ignore all posts about her/them…skip right along to the next post; But you instead choose to click to spew and insult..
Grow up! You’re only shortening your own life with your obsessive hate of a woman who doesn’t even know you exist and is busy living her life – as evidenced by the fact that this post is about a random comment she made at a CLOSED event.
I think you guys are also missing the point. He probably has several of the same tux and not just only 1 for each occasion. You also have to consider the price of each tux he owns and finally when people do this, it is to help reduce decision fatigue. He was a president and was making several decisions, a tux probably was the last thing on his mind and so standardizing for black tie events takes off that stress from him.
Men suits all look alike anyway so why not stick with your fave
She said one tux, one shoe. Why are you telling us several with one color?
Will a Nigerian woman allow her husband do the.same?
When Peter Obi said he wear one shoe and one writs watch, you guys were crucifying him.
