Michelle Obama Stocks Up on Custom Maria Cornejo

Proudly devoid of that pesky "Elect" title.

Maria Cornejo has custom-made a number of pieces for our new First Lady. She wore one, a purple jacket, on the train ride from Philadelphia to Washington on Saturday. A spokesperson for the designer reveals that Cornejo made a range of pieces "specifically tailored" to Michelle, including eight jewel-toned suits, two winter coats, and three dresses. [Style.com]
