Throughout the years, Michelle Obama has become a style icon.
Her stylist, Meredith Koop, has helped Obama become the noted fashion icon she is today.
Koop and Black professionals weighed in on the lasting impact of Obama's style and what it says about power dressing.
Daniella Carter said if she's learned one thing from Michelle Obama's style, it's what an unapologetic Black successful woman looks like "even when there are people in the world spewing hate."
Carter is a Black trans activist and founder of the eponymous "Guest Book" which highlights creators of color.
She grew up in foster care but said seeing Obama "suited-and-booted" made her always remember that though she may not have had a mother who looked like her, she would learn to carry herself so that she and her future daughter could both grow up to be unapologetic Black, successful women.
