💫 Michelle Obama’s ‘The Look’ Drops This Fall

Our Forever FLOTUS is ready to reclaim her story—on her own terms and in her own style. On Thursday (June 5), Michelle Obama announced her latest project, “The Look,” a visually stunning and deeply personal book set to release on November 4, 2025.

In a heartfelt social media post, Michelle wrote:

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.

For a while now, I’ve been wanting to reclaim more of that story, to share it in my own way.

👗 Inside “The Look”: A Visual And Emotional Journey

Beautifully illustrated with over 200 photographs—many never-before-seen—”The Look” traces Michelle Obama’s evolution through fashion, beauty, and public life.

It’s 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.

Here’s what you’ll find inside the pages:

  • Behind-the-scenes stories from Michelle and her glam team—stylist Meredith Koop, makeup artist Carl Ray, and hairstylists Johnny WrightYene Damtew, and Njeri Radway.
  • Candid reflections on everything from White House cardigans and brooches to post-presidency braids and bold suits.
  • A deeper message about self-expression, the power of intention, and how style can reflect our values and strengthen our voice.

The Look is about more than fashion.

It’s about confidence. It’s about identity. It’s about the power of authenticity.

🧠 The Power Of Showing Up Authentically

Michelle makes it clear—this isn’t just about the clothes.

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.

She hopes the book will spark thoughtful conversations about how we view ourselves—and how society defines beauty.

“My hope is that this book sparks conversation and reflection about the ways we see ourselves — and the way our society defines beauty.”
