Ah, the embodiment of the common touch.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama was recently seen in Los Angeles, casually toting a handbag that costs more than most people’s monthly rent—a $4,000 Bottega Veneta. Truly a woman of the people!
In a moment that seemed almost scripted, Obama was spotted wearing her wedding ring, dispelling whispers that her marriage to former President Barack Obama was in peril.
As reported by Page Six, “Michelle Obama was seen flashing her wedding ring while out and about in Los Angeles after shutting down rumors that she and husband Barack Obama are headed for divorce.”
In her new podcast, the former First Lady has been quite vocal about her less-than-rosy experiences in the White House, often expressing her disdain for the very country that elevated her and her family to multimillionaire status. It seems that the irony is lost on her.
The Obamas now enjoy the fruits of their labor with a lavish mansion in Martha’s Vineyard and a beachfront property in Hawaii, showcasing their remarkable journey from public servants to real estate moguls.


Indeed, Michelle Obama demonstrates her solidarity with the common folk by sporting outrageously expensive designer labels and sparkling accessories. After all, what better way to connect with the masses than through a pair of $4,000 Balenciaga boots paired with a rather unflattering mustard yellow dress?
Let us not forget her grand entrance in Copenhagen during her ‘Becoming’ book tour, where she dazzled in an $18,000 ensemble. The outfit featured a $2,300 Stine Goya pantsuit complemented by $16,000 diamond hoop earrings. Clearly, a relatable figure for the everyday American!
