Michelle Obama Announces New Book to ‘Reclaim’ How Her White House Looks Were Portrayed
Today ^ | 06/05/2025 | Scott Stump

Michelle Obama is giving fans a glimpse at "The Look," her new book coming out in the fall. In the book, reflects about how her appearance during her time in the White House was "constantly being dissected" and aims to "reclaim more of that story" for herself.

The former first lady, whose memoir "Becoming" was a bestseller in 2018, announced on Instagram on June 5 that her new book will be released on November 4. "The Look" is her first book since her 2022 bestseller, "The Light We Carry."

"During our family’s time in the White House, the way I looked was constantly being dissected — what I wore, how my hair was styled," she wrote. "For a while now, I’ve been wanting to reclaim more of that story, to share it in my own way. I’m thankful to be at a stage in life where I feel comfortable expressing myself freely — wearing what I love and doing what feels true to me. And I’m excited to share some of what I’ve learned along the way."

Obama, 61, wrote that "The Look" is "a reflection on my lifelong journey with fashion, hair, and beauty."

"Inside, you’ll find some of the outfits that have meant the most to me, but more importantly, the moments that I lived through in them — big and small, personal and political, historic and ordinary — that were as memorable as the clothes themselves," she continued.

The former first lady is also sharing the stories of her stylist, makeup artist and hairstylists who helped shape her appearance during her time in the White House.

"The Look is about more than fashion," she wrote. "It’s about confidence. It’s about identity. It’s about the power of authenticity. My hope is that this book sparks conversation and reflection about the ways we see ourselves — and the way our society defines beauty."

Some day we’ll all finally come to realize that Michelle is Michael and that the US had a homosexual couple in the WH for eight years.

I think she is actually referring to her advisors. She said the people weren’t ready for her to wear braids, but I wasn’t asked. I wouldn’t have cared.
Michelle can’t stand herself. Another book won’t fix that.

AARP said this Versace number was "the epitome" of her fashion sense.

Look for this misguided quote on every page of her fashion book:

“Michelle Obama is known for her elegant and fashionable White House attire. At the final state dinner of her husband’s presidency, she wore a stunning gold Atelier Versace gown, which cemented her status as a fashion icon according to AARP. “

“The dress, made of rose gold and chain-mail, was both regal and approachable, and the color perfectly complemented her skin tone according to AARP. Her wardrobe during her time as First Lady was frequently praised for its style and sophistication. “
