Overview
- The new book The Look examines how she used clothing as representation and offers a behind-the-scenes account that pays tribute to the designers and glam team who dressed her.
- At a People Inc. event in New York, she said she avoided fashion talk as First Lady out of concern it would overshadow her initiatives and noted she chose to address it now after establishing her broader profile.
- Her tour featured a Loewe dress identified as Look 50 from the label’s unreleased Spring 2026 collection, sourced by longtime stylist Meredith Koop and tied to Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s recent runway debut.
- She also wore a custom pearl-embellished Simone Rocha gown on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and a gray Chanel suit for a separate conversation appearance.
- The rollout included a live taping in New York that will premiere on her podcast IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson, and the book includes stories from Koop, makeup artist Carl Ray, and hairstylists Yene Damtew, Johnny Wright, and Njeri Radway.
