Michelle Obama ha fatto tappa a Brooklyn per la presentazione del suo libro "Becoming. La mia storia", sorprendendo tutti con un look decisamente appariscente: abito giallo in satin firmato Balenciaga e un paio di lunghi e aderenti stivali-calza glitterati da 4'000 dollari.

That's a wrap! When I think about all the people who have come out to our events over these past few weeks, I think about a little working-class kid named Michelle LaVaughn Robinson—an ordinary girl who had some tales to tell, some failures and some successes, too. She had a lot to learn, a lot to experience, a lot to give—more than she ever could have imagined. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about my story lately, and what I keep coming back to is that no matter where we came from, we all share so much. People of all backgrounds, skin colors, and political persuasions can relate to feeling uncertain or overwhelmed. We’ve all been a little frustrated by the slow, frustrating growth necessary to get where we want to go. We’ve all struggled with the balancing act that can take over days, years, or decades of our lives. And I want us all to remember that these are the moments and lessons that make us who we are -- every little twist and turn, every little bump and bruise, and ultimately every joys and every triumph, no matter how large or small. So I hope all of you believe in your story. I hope you recognize that what you see as a weakness might actually be a strength. I hope you recognize the power of your voice. And I hope you remind yourself that there isn't one right way to be an American. There isn’t one way to make your contribution in this country. So thank you all for your part of our story. Thank you for being who you are. And to everyone who’s read my memoir, or come to one of our events, or posted something online, thank you for being on this journey with me. Thank you for helping me continue to become. I hope my story can serve as a boost in your own process of becoming, too. I love you all. #IAmBecoming

Una scelta che ha subito fatto discutere, sia in bene che in male. Se da un lato riviste come "Vanity Fair" festeggiano lo stile, lodando l'ex first lady per essere riuscita a mettere in ombra perfino l'icona della moda newyorkese Sarah Jessica Parker, dall'altro c'è chi critica il look. La rivista "Oggi" si è chiesta: "Michelle Obama, ma come ti conci?". A far discutere, in ogni caso, è più che altro il prezzo degli stivali, soprattutto sui social. "Inizialmente non ho capito che si trattasse di una scarpa. Qualsiasi cosa stia indossando, è orribile", ha commentato una donna su facebook, mentre un'altra sottolinea "4'000 dollari? Spesi malissimo" e un altro utente esclama: "4'000 dollari per un paio di stivali da drag queen, un totale spreco di soldi!"
