Michelle Obama's fans are united on her Inauguration Day look.

Obama styled the monochromatic look with a turtleneck, wide-leg trousers and black leather gloves.

"THIS is how you step to an Inauguration!" one admirer praised on Twitter. 

"My Gawd, I just feel like Michelle Obama's look gotta be sworn in for... something. Just...I've seen enough, I'm calling this the best look of the inauguration. Projected Winner 99.9% reporting," another user tweeted.

Others applauded Obama’s statement-making style choice by choosing to leave the cashmere coat open. 

"Michelle left that coat open, like, You *will* see this belt. You will appreciate it," another fan praised. 

The coat's designer, Sergio Hudson, appears to be a favorite of Obama's. The South Carolina native, who has worked with the likes of Beyonce, Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez, has previously clothed Obama for events on her "Becoming" book tour as well as the Essense Festival in 2019.
