Mrs. Obama’s forthcoming book, The Look, is a stunning journey through her style evolution, 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. Featuring the voices of Meredith Koop, Mrs. Obama’s trusted stylist, as well as her makeup artist Carl Ray, hairstylists Yene Damtew and Njeri Radway, 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.

This program will be a live podcast taping as part of a special six-part limited companion series to the hit podcast “IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson,” from Higher Ground, the media company founded by President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. Mrs. Obama will be in conversation with Wesley Morris, the host of “Cannonball” and a critic at large at The New York Times.
