*Former President Barack Obama recently shared a nostalgic post on social media, recalling the moment he wore a tan suit during his presidency, which sparked controversy at the time.
In a post on X (formally Twitter) he commends Vice President Kamala Harris for donning a similar tan suit at the recent Democratic National Convention, Indy 100 reports. Obama reflected on the fashion moment from 2014, when his choice of attire stirred debate, with critics deeming it “unpresidential.” A decade later, he posted a side-by-side comparison of himself and Harris, both wearing the tan suit.
“How it started. How it’s going,” Obama wrote. “Ten years later, and it’s still a good look!”
The post, which you can view below, has received nearly 80 million views.
As we reported earlier, Barack and Michelle Obama endorsed Harris for president last month after President Joe Biden announced he would end his presidential re-election campaign and threw his support behind the vice president.

As PEOPLE reports, in a video released by the Harris campaign, Michelle said, “I can’t have this phone call without saying to my girl Kamala: I am proud of you. This is going to be historic.”
Barack added: “Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.”
“I just wanna tell you that the words you have spoken and the friendship that you have given over all these years mean more than I can express,” Harris said. “And we’re gonna have some fun with this, too, aren’t we?”
Michelle replied, “We’ve got to work now. All of us, you know. It’s time to stop wringing our hands, it’s time to stop complaining, it’s time for us to rally around you, your candidacy. This is not on you, it’s not just on you and Doug, it’s on all of us.”
