She spent almost a decade in the White House, front and center in the public eye. And while in the spotlight she graced us with her class, intellect, sophistication and stunning attire. Now, this former First Lady is giving us an insider’s view into what went into all of her elegant, timeless looks. This month, Michelle Obama is releasing The Look a book exploring the joy and purpose of fashion and beauty.
The cover alone to Mrs. Obama’s latest work is stunning. She can be seen donning the blue gown she wears in her official White House portrait; which now hangs in the ground floor hallway of the White House; accessible to the public, alongside other presidential and first lady portraits. The sky-blue chiffon garment was designed by Jason Wu; a Taiwanese-Canadian designer who rose to prominence after designing Mrs. Obama’s first and second inaugural ball gowns.
Michelle Obama Releasing The Look- Exploring the Joy and Purpose of Fashion and Beauty
Now if you’re thinking you are just going to experience a regurgitation of imagery and quotes from Michelle, think again. The Look comes beautifully illustrated with more than 200 photographs, including never-before-seen images! This book is truly a stunning journey through Michelle Obama’s style evolution, in her own words for the first time.
The Michelle Obama Books website had this to say about the release,
“In this celebration of style, from the moment she entered the public eye during her husband’s U.S. Senate campaign through her time as the first Black First Lady and today as one of this country’s most influential figures, Michelle Obama shares how she uses the beauty and intrigue of fashion to draw attention to her message.
Obama’s intimate and candid stories illuminate how her approach to dressing has evolved throughout her life—from the colorful sheath dresses, cardigans, and brooches she wore during her time as First Lady to the bold suits, denim, and braids of her post-White House life and all the active looks and beautiful gowns in between.
In The Look, Michelle Obama explores the joy and the purpose of fashion and beauty and how—when wielded with grace and care—they can uplift and affirm the values one holds most dear. Confidence, she concludes, cannot be put on. But when you’re wearing something that’s intentional or beloved, clothing can make you feel like the best version of yourself.”
Sounds like an amazing read! We can’t wait to get our hands on this one. The Look goes on sale beginning November 4th. Happy reading everyone!
