Jacob Elordi, standing at 1.96 meters tall, commands attention with his sharp, tailored outfits. The rising star draws fashion inspiration from former First Lady Michelle Obama. Both recently showcased the same jacket from Matthieu Blazy’s debut Chanel spring/summer 2026 collection, months apart.
Michelle Obama’s Stage-Ready Ensemble
Michelle Obama appeared at the People Inc. event in New York City on November 5. Styled by Meredith Koop, co-author of The Look, she donned a custom wool-check suit featuring a cropped jacket with gold buttons and matching pleat-front trousers. Drawn from Look One of the collection, the open blazer paired seamlessly with a crisp white T-shirt and two-tone cream-and-black Chanel heels.
Jacob Elordi’s Photocall Style
Jacob Elordi layered the Chanel tweed jacket over a black T-shirt for the Los Angeles photocall promoting his film Wuthering Heights. Embracing method dressing with a vintage-modern vibe, he completed the look with semi-wide white trousers, a black Chanel belt, and Celine loafers.
Matthieu Blazy Revives Chanel Tweed
Under Matthieu Blazy’s direction, Chanel’s iconic tweed jacket gains a sleek, contemporary edge while honoring traditions from Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard eras. This piece aligns perfectly with Michelle Obama’s versatile style, from vibrant colors and cozy knits to chiffon gowns and A-line shapes.
The Look, published on November 4 and beautifully illustrated with over 200 photographs including exclusive images, chronicles Michelle Obama’s fashion journey. In her own words, the book traces her style from Barack Obama’s Senate campaign through her role as the first Black First Lady and into her current influential status. It highlights how she leverages fashion to amplify her messages.
