Michelle Obama wore a necklace that spelled out VOTE while speaking at the virtual Democratic National Convention on Monday night.
The designer of the gold V-O-T-E necklace Michelle Obama wore when she spoke at the virtual Democratic National Convention Monday night says “it was surreal” to see the former first lady wearing the creation and that the necklace has been selling extraordinarily well since its big moment in the spotlight.
Obama, the final speaker during the DNC’s first night, discussed the importance of voting in this fall’s presidential election while wearing the V-O-T-E necklace. She encouraged listeners to register to vote and to “vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris like our lives depend on it.”
After her speech, there was such buzz about her jewelry that its designer quickly offered it for sale online.
While Obama never mentioned the jewelry, and the necklace was subtle, many viewers not only noticed but wanted one of their own. As soon as her speech ended, social media users began posting asking where they could buy the necklace.▰
