"Michelle Obama wears a whole lot of fantastic clothes, but her most memorable looks are no longer hanging in her (quite probably EPIC) closet&amp;amp;#8212;and she&amp;#x27;s not borrowing any of them. While the practice of borrowing designer clothes might be a regular thing for celebs (and Real Housewives, if you remember that convo), it doesn&amp;#x27;t happen with the First Lady. &amp;quot;For official events of public or historic significance, such as a state visit, the clothes may be given as a gift by a designer and accepted on behalf of the U.S. government. They are then stored by the National Archives,&amp;quot; Joanna Rosholm, press secretary to the First Lady, told the AP. The White House said that she never borrows anything and often uses her own money to buy, though I&amp;#x27;d assume she&amp;#x27;s charging items from J.Crew and Diane von Furstenberg to her personal account, not the big-budget gowns. The above Carolina Herrera dress, worn at a dinner with the French president this year, was donated by the designer. Remember the gorgeous white Jason Wu dress she wore at the Inaugural Ball back in 2009? It was donated to the Smithsonian a year later and listed as &amp;quot;a gift of Jason Wu in honor of the First Lady&amp;quot; Michelle Obama. Are you surprised to hear that Michelle Obama doesn&amp;#x27;t borrow clothes like celebrities do? Would you swing by a museum to check out some of her dresses on display?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
