Michelle Obama 'closed off Agent Provocateur's Madison Avenue boutique to spend $50,000 on lingerie'
The Telegraph claimed: 'Michelle Obama has risked the wrath of cash-strapped Americans by indulging in a $50,000 shopping spree at Agent Provocateur...'Along with the the Queen of Qatar, Sheikha Mozah, she closed off part of Madison Avenue to spend time in the luxury lingerie shop.'
The article also said that Mrs Obama's alleged spree had sparked the 12 per cent boost in sales recently released by the British label.
Agent Provocateur has refused to issue comment on whether any of the claims were true or false.
A spokesman for the label said only: 'Agent Provocateur declines to comment regarding celebrity and VIP customers.'
