The stylish outfit that former first lady Michelle Obama wore during her speech Tuesday at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week is receiving buzz online.

Variety described her choice of a belted, sleeveless, navy-blue pant suit as “a fashion-forward ensemble” while InStyle wrote she put an “unconventional twist on the classic power suit.”

The crisscross jacket retails for $1,690 while the tuxedo pants sell for $890.

They’re created by the label Monse and part of its resort 2025 collection.

Monse posted to its Instagram account on Wednesday, saying Mrs. Obama “embodies the MONSE woman in every way, exuding the strength and confidence that we are at the core of our brand. We are honored to dress such an inspiring leader.”

The suit can be preordered and delivered to clients in November, according to reports.

She also wore Jimmy Choo kitten heels, which, according to Footwearnews.com, retail for $1,075.
