They may be thought of as the most fashionable couple in politics but Michelle Obama has revealed that her husband knows nothing about fashion and wants her to tone down her own shopping habits.

She added that Barack often mocks her shoe collection and she can only wear one of her belts when he is not around because he has no sense of style. Michelle told the New York Times:  "He's always asking: 'Is that new? I haven't seen that before,'" to which she responds: "Why don't you mind your own business? Solve world hunger. Get out of my closet."

Her clothes are not the only thing the President has an opinion on, her shoes have also come under attack. Michelle says the President asks her: "You didn't need any more shoes. The shoes you had on yesterday were fine. Why can't you just wear that for the rest of the presidency?"

And the belt in question? A grey metallic one that Barack calls her 'Star Trek Belt'. Michelle explains: "He doesn't understand fashion."

Looks like whoever you are your man will always criticise your shopping habit!
