In early September, Michelle was photographed in Majorca, where she was staying with her close friendsJaime Costos and his husband Michael Smith. Costos is a former ambassador of the US in Madrid, and Smith is an interior designer who works with celebrities. She was then spotted in Madrid, where she showed off various outfits, including a stunning denim dress that she paired with some sandals and a colorful sweater.
On September 11th, Michelle shared a post of remembrance alongside some photos of the 9/11 memorial. “Today is a day of reflection and most of all, remembrance, for those we lost on September 11. May we never forget to tell their stories and honor their legacies,” she wrote.
