«The Look»: Michelle Obama Writes a Book About Fashion and Style

It’s already an Amazon bestseller

Former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama has announced the release of her new book titled «The Look,» dedicated to the themes of personal style and self-expression.

In a social media post, Obama revealed that the idea for the book was inspired by her time in the White House, when her appearance was constantly scrutinized by the media.

«During our years in the White House, my appearance was always under analysis — what I wore, how I styled my hair. As a Black woman, I felt the need to show my femininity. I’ve long wanted to revisit that story,» Michelle wrote.

The book features not only her personal reflections but also insights from stylists, makeup artists, and close friends. The author shares her fashion principles, favorite brands, and everyday habits. Obama admits her fondness for Missoni x Converse sneakers and Michael Kors sheath dresses.

«Before choosing any outfit, I always asked myself: Do I like it? Does it represent who I am?» she writes.

She also emphasizes that she has always tried to balance accessibility and elegance in her wardrobe, aware that many people face financial challenges.

Although the book’s release is scheduled for November 4, «The Look» has already topped Amazon’s «Black and African American Biographies» category — a sign of tremendous reader interest and support.

It’s worth noting that Michelle Obama is also the author of the bestsellers «Becoming» and «American Grown,» which offer an intimate look at life inside the White House.
