First Lady Michelle Obama Wears Bibhu Mohapatra on The Tonight Show
Michelle Obama & Olympic Gold Medalist Gabby Douglas with Jay Leno
Back in May, we told you that America’s First Lady, Michelle Obama, favoured wearing designs by Mumbai-born Naeem Khan to various State occasions. And now it appears, another Indian designer is on her shopping list – Orissa’s Bibhu Mohapatra.

Last night, Michelle Obama was a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, along with Olympic gymnastics star Gabby Douglas. Mrs. Obama looked very chic wearing a sleeveless printed dress by Bibhu. The designer was naturally thankful and tweeted:
Bibhu's tweet
Mrs. Obama’s continuous fascination with Indian designers is quite inspiring. We only wish that our home-grown socialites would opt to wear more home-grown designers to Page3 events, rather than predictable foreign designer labels.
Our Indian designers have so much talent and so much to offer. It’s amazing that the wife of arguably the most powerful man in the world, seems to prefer them over American brands like DKNY, Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta or Ralph Lauren.
Don’t you agree?
