Description

Beautifully illustrated with more than 200 photographs, including never- before-seen images, 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. Read more

  • Forever My First Lady
Format: Hardcover
As a long-time admirer of Michelle Obama, I must say that 'The Look' is a stunning portrayal of her beauty and grace. The photos are not just beautiful; they capture the essence of a down-to-earth person who has become a role model for many. Michelle's ability to endure scrutiny and criticism, while always staying poised and assertive, is truly inspiring. Her motto, "When they go low, we go high, "is a testament to the strength of being a black woman in America. 'The Look' is not just a fashion book; it's a celebration of Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, the most excellent First Lady ever (to me). She is one of a kind and a true inspiration to everyone. ... show more

  • AWESOME! FABULOUS PICTURES AND INSPIRING TEXT!
Format: Hardcover
Michelle Obama is extraordinary! I received my book today, and I looked at all the pictures, from cover to cover. Now I am going back and reading the text. I only put it down because I am volunteering in our local elections, which would make my favorite FLOTUS happy! What makes this book so fascinating is that it reveals another side of Ms. Obama and how she perceived her role as the First Lady! Her wardrobe pieces were carefully thought out and pitch-perfect for every occasion. "The Look" shows us how captivated a "picture" book can be! This one is as elegant and engaging as the woman who is its subject! Thanks, once again, Mrs. Obama. Your openness makes us gasp in awe and helps us believe that we are all beautiful and deserving of praise, recognition, and the opportunity to "become" our own selves, with our own styles, ambitions, and looks! You are my forever FLOTUS! ... show more

  • Elegant, Empowering, and Gorgeous!
Format: Hardcover
This book is absolutely stunning — every page feels like a celebration of Michelle Obama’s style and confidence. The photos are beautiful, but what I love most is how she explains the meaning behind her fashion choices. It’s not just about clothes — it’s about self-expression, identity, and strength. Truly inspiring and visually breathtaking. ... show more

  • Wonderful Addition to the Coffee Table!
Format: Hardcover
Stunning! Regardless of your political views, if you are a lover of fashion, this beautifully illustrated coffee table book is a must have for your collection. I was a bit nervous that this book would be more of a "novel" with pictures when I saw that the book was also available in audiobook format but so far, this is a true pictorial story. I look at FFLOTUS Obama as a Barbie with infinite amounts of class, grace, and courage who has a wardrobe just as fitting! Please put this in your cart and enjoy! ... show more

  • Fabulous like our First Lady
Format: Hardcover
I waited impatiently for this book! Beautiful stories, inspiring text. Fabulous looks! However Amazon you have to do better with shipping this book. Book was not wrapped and freely floppy around in the box. Spine was broken and book dented. As it’s a gift for my 90 yo mother who adores the former First Lady I had to return for a replacement. ... show more

  • Beautiful book, HORRIBLE Amazon packaging
Format: Hardcover
I pre-ordered this book and was so excited to get it. It arrived on Tuesday, the 4th in a box with no packaging inside. When I opened the box, the corner of the book was dented and had a small tear. I immediately went online to return it and selected replacement rather than refund. The next day, my replacement book came, again with no protective packaging inside the box. This time, the binding on the back cover was torn and the cover would not close. I don’t understand why both books were so poorly packaged. How hard was it to put paper packaging inside the box to protect the book? Since two out of two books in two days were damaged, I won’t be purchasing another copy from Amazon. Instead I will purchase it somewhere else. The book, however, is gorgeous! I haven’t completely opened it, but I fanned through the pages to glance at the photos. Such beautiful photos of a beautiful First Lady. I’m waiting for my new book to arrive from a different store so I can sit down and read it thoroughly. PS: the book isn’t just about fashion. It’s about our first black First Lady and about how she had to thoughtfully select her look because she was critically judged by the color of her skin (and not by her intelligence, accomplishments, and gracefulness), and wanted to be sure that her presentation wouldn’t be misinterpreted. I admire her greatly and appreciate the wonderful gifts she gave to us as FLOTUS, and has continued to do so, even after the White House. ... show more
