Barack Obama wore the same tuxedo for 8 years and no-one noticed
<p>During the time of Barack Obama’s presidency, Michelle became a style icon pulling off various designer looks but her husband took a different approach.</p>
<p>At Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, Michelle Obama revealed that while she wore hundreds of gowns at various events, Barack Obama got away with wearing the same tuxedo.</p>
<p>“This is the unfair thing — you talk about Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers — no matter what we do, he puts on that same tux,” she said during her appearance.</p>
<p>“Now, people take pictures of the shoes I wear, the bracelets, the necklaces — they didn’t comment that for eight years he wore the same tux, same shoes.”</p>

<p>Michelle shared that Barack noticed the double standard but enjoyed the fact he could wear his tux on multiple occasions.</p>
<p>“And he is proud of it too. He’s like, ‘Mmm, I’m ready. I’m ready in 10 minutes. How long did it take you?’ I’m like, ‘Get out of here’.”</p>
<p>In 2014, Karl Stefanovic wore the same suit for a year to prove a point about different fashion standards between men and women.</p>
<p>“I’ve worn the same suit on air for a year — except for a couple of times because of the circumstance — to make a point,” he said at the time.</p>
<p>“I’m judged on my interviews, my appalling sense of humour — on how I do my job, basically. Whereas women are quite often judged on what they’re wearing and how their hair is.”</p>
