Narrado por: Michelle Obama, Meredith Koop, Farah Jasmine Griffin, Carl Ray, Njeri Radway, Yene Damtew

The Look is a stunning journey through Michelle Obama’s style evolution, in her own words for the first time.

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.

Featuring the voices of Meredith Koop, Obama’s trusted stylist, as well as her makeup artist Carl Ray, hairstylists Yene Damtew, Johnny Wright, and Njeri Radway, and many of the designers who have dressed Obama for notable events, The Look brings readers behind the scenes not only to reveal how her most memorable looks came together but also to tell a powerful story about how we present ourselves.

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.

Historical Stories

I am looking forward to purchasing the hardcover to see the photos up close of the designs First Lady Mrs Obama memorialized.

The Look about hair style and clothing for the occasion

Excellent book by First Lady Michelle Obama written by her and her stylists. It’s a story that I was unaware of when it comes to African American women. Very enlightening. Mrs Obama is such a classy lady and served our country during the 8 years her husband was our President. She served as a wonderful role model for girls and women worldwide. I strongly recommend this book.
