In a new interview forVogue’sAugust 2021 cover story, the First Lady tries to shy away from talking about her style before telling the outlet, “It’s kind of surprising, I think, how much commentary is made about what I wear or if I put my hair in a scrunchie.”

“And they weren’t fishnets. They weren’t lace. They werevery pretty stockings,” she clarified about the look, which got Twitter buzzing with some social media users praising, and others critiquing, the choice.
During the interview, Dr. Biden — who doesn’t work with a stylist — also spoke about supporting young, emerging and diverse designers.
“I think that’s important: You try to lift up other people. I like to choose from a diverse group of designers,” she said, adding, “When I was planning my inauguration outfits, that’s one of the things I considered.”

Dr. Biden has continued to make thoughtful fashion choices throughout the Biden Administration’s time in office. Back in April, the First Lady donned anupcycled navy versionof thewhite Gabriela Hearst dressshe wore the night of the inauguration during the president’s first address to Congress.
Just like the white dress, federal flowers from every state and territory were included and according to the press release, the repurposed navy garment also included the flower of the District of Columbia.
“The Silk Wool dress ( and mask) was made entirely of existing fabrics,” the designer wrote onInstagram. “Made and embroidered in New York. It was originally used to fit the inauguration one. The First Lady requested to salvage for another occasion. Double repurposed. New is not always better.”
And earlier this month, the First Lady chose ajacket with the word “LOVE” written across the backin silver embellishment while she and President Biden met with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie in Cornwall ahead of the upcoming G-7 Summit.
For the outing, Dr. Biden teamed her polka-dot Brandon Maxwell dress with a black Zadig & Voltaire blazer, featuring studded appliqués on the back that spelled out, “LOVE.”
