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."
You can take her out of the ghetto but you cant take the ghetto out of her.
I think sixty-one year old Michelle is having a mental break with reality.
........she’s going berserk to defend her horrid fashion choices.............
Not to mention her horrible attitude while serving as First Lady. Remember the “Target” event? Somehow she was in Target shopping and a short person, not recognizing her as Michelle Obama, asked her to get ann item off the top shelf. So what did Michelle claim, “ because I am black she thought I worked there”.
