WASHINGTON – There are reports the First Lady and the Queen of Qatar recently closed off part of Madison Avenue to go on a shopping spree at a high-end lingerie store, according to the Daily Mail.
Michelle Obama ended up spending $50,000 on pieces from Agent Provocateur, which the Daily Mail says was founded by the son of fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.
The luxury brand’s celebrity clientele include Beyonce and Christina Aguilera.
Mrs. Obama’s reported purchase comes on the heels of criticism for the cobalt blue dress she wore for the President’s State of the Union. The dress reportedly sells for $2,000.
