Jacob Elordi stands out for his sharp, tailored fashion sense, enhanced by his 1.96m frame that makes any outfit look exceptional. He recently solidified his role as a style icon, drawing inspiration from an unlikely figure: Michelle Obama. Both embrace Matthieu Blazy’s fresh vision at Chanel, donning the identical jacket mere months apart.
Michelle Obama’s Elegant Ensemble
Styled by Meredith Koop, co-author of The Look, Michelle Obama took the stage at the People Inc. event in New York City on November 5. She sported a custom wool-check suit from Matthieu Blazy’s debut spring/summer 2026 Chanel collection. The cropped jacket, featuring gold buttons, paired perfectly with pleat-front trousers—straight from Look One of the runway show.
Obama kept it true to the design: blazer open over a crisp white T-shirt and two-tone cream-and-black Chanel heels. Blazy revitalizes Chanel’s iconic tweed jacket with a modern twist, building on Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard’s legacies. This sleek update aligns seamlessly with Obama’s versatile style, from vibrant colors and cozy knits to flowing chiffon and A-line dresses.
Jacob Elordi’s Menswear Twist
The same Chanel jacket transitions effortlessly into menswear. Jacob Elordi showcased it at the Los Angeles photocall for his upcoming film Wuthering Heights. Embracing method dressing with a vintage-modern vibe, he layered the jacket over a black T-shirt. He completed the look with semi-wide white trousers, a black Chanel belt, and Celine loafers.
Behind the Style: The Look Book
Published on November 4, The Look offers an illustrated journey through Michelle Obama’s fashion evolution. Featuring over 200 photographs, including exclusive images, the book shares her insights in her own words. It traces her style from Barack Obama’s Senate campaign, through her tenure as the first Black First Lady, to her current influence. Obama explains how she leverages fashion’s appeal to amplify her messages.
