Former first lady Michelle Obama faces outrage for allegedly urging a boycott of white designers. Michelle faced criticism for allegedly urging women to boycott white-owned clothing brands.
In a recent conversation hosted by Storehouse and Friends, Obama spoke about being mindful when shopping for clothes, especially women who have the means to support fashion designers who are people of color.
But Obama’s critics changed her words to imply she urged women to boycott white-owned designers.
Political commentator Danielle D’Souza Gill, wife of U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill, tweeted: “Michelle, that skirt you’re wearing wouldn’t happen to be this $1,185 skirt made by Emilia Wickstead, a white designer, would it? Hypocrite much?”
Michelle Obama is facing a major backlash after calling for an anti-white boycott of all clothing brands.

Political commentator Avery Daye also called out Mrs. Obama on X (Twitter). Daye criticized Obama for wearing a skirt designed by a white designer.
“Michelle Obama urges women not to buy from white-owned brands… while wearing a $1,185 skirt created by a white designer. Michelle Obama is a privileged racist hypocrite who hates white people,” she tweeted.
X user @lilysm1965 wrote: “Maybe it is time for white owned brands to stop doing business with her instead.”
