Speaking with Greta Gerwig for American Vogue, Wintour applauded Michelle Obama’s versatile wardrobe and argued that donning a so‑called "power suit" isn't essential for women at work. She contrasted that admiration with a reserved comment about Melania, observing that the former first lady invariably presents a consistent, recognisable look when she appears in public.
Wintour also praised New York City's new first lady, Rama Duwaji, calling her stylish, modern and authentically herself — noting an ease that lets her move between vintage and contemporary pieces.
