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."
“but more importantly, the moments that I lived through in them”
Because, to this shallow, low IQ, mean-spirited, racist, it’s always all about me.
Big Mike sure has delusions about how much people supposedly like him.
I’m confused, all of the media portrayed Big Mike as a fashion icon, and the most beautiful, elegant, classy first lady that ever existed. Why does she feel the need to reshape that story?
Ugghh...I can remember her wearing what looked like one of her teenage daughter’s sweaters & shirts... Not to mention those awful, big under the bust belts. She had NO TASTE.
And NO, they weren't talking about their dog.
I thought she got her fashion ok’s from her dog?......snx
“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.
“Honey, does this make me look fat”?
“An Ape In Heels - My Journey” ~ Big Mike Obama.
Not a bad summary of her “ME, ME, ME” whining.
She looked like a chenille bedspread in her first lady "ball gown."
50 ways to wear a boob belt.......
There was a woman who had a website devoted to showing what Michelle was wearing each day and heaping praise on her “fashions”. I would check in on it from time to time just for the cringe.
I very much doubt that all her books are “best sellers “. Probably purchased in bulk to make it appear that way. Her Podcast has very low ratings. People don’t listen to her; unlikely people-REAL people- will purchase and read her blather on about her sense of fashion. Yikes!
my beef is/was the comparison to Jackie Kennedy. Please! Jackie WAS graceful and elegant, Michelle is not in any way.
But IIRC, the media also tried to push Stacy Abrahams as being slender and beautiful, too. “her supermodel moment”
don’t give them any ideas!!!! PS look at that smug mug on Barry- what a punch- me face.
The look is a Wookiee trying to be graceful and fashionable on the outside while hiding his Johnson.
LOL !!! I would take too much Bandwidth to express how REALLY feel about the zer0 and it’s Ilk...
Indeed. Yet the media constantly reminded us how beautiful and elegant she was.
If ANYONE purchases and reads this “book” they are announcing to the world that they are mentally deficient and mentally disturbed.
Seek help NOW!
LOL!
looking at her now ? one phrase - “cultural appropriation”
