9 showstopping outfits Michelle Obama has worn while promoting her books
Amanda Krause
- Michelle Obama has published two books since serving as first lady of the United States.
- She's also gone on book tours to promote her writing and has worn stylish outfits throughout.
Michelle Obama kicked off her first book tour in November 2018 while wearing a sparkling, off-the-shoulder shirt.
She also wore wide-leg trousers in a baby-blue shade that complemented her long-sleeved top.
Obama was promoting "Becoming" at the time, and she hosted her first event in her hometown of Chicago, Illinois.
A few days later in Massachusetts, she switched things up with a deep-blue jumpsuit.
Her satin top had long sleeves and a buttoned front, while her high pants had a paper-bag waistband — or extra fabric ruffled up top.
Obama looked chic in December of 2018 at the New York City stop of her first book tour.
Her all-white outfit included a V-neck shirt, a sharp blazer, and boot-cut pants.
She also paired the garments with unique shoes: grid-style ankle boots worn with no socks.
But it was at her second New York City event where the former first lady wore one of her boldest looks to date.
She wore a yellow wrap dress crafted from satin and sparkling Balenciaga boots that previously retailed for $3,900.
Not only did the shoes have 4.3-inch heels, but they also extended above her thighs.
During the second leg of her "Becoming" tour in May 2019, Obama continued to wear sparkles.
This time, however, black sequins covered her shirt.
She wore the dazzling top underneath a purple satin blazer, a matching belt with gold hardware, and purple pants.
This year, Obama began promoting her second book, "The Light We Carry," with a colorful appearance on the "Today" show.
She wore a neon-yellow suit with gold buttons designed by Proenza Schouler.
And for accessories, she chose pointed pumps from Anny Nord and gold jewelry created by Jennifer Fisher.
She then made an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" in a festive gold outfit that would be perfect for the holidays.
Her turtleneck top was form-fitting and covered in gold sequins, while her wide-legged pants were a more classic cream color.
The author wore the controversial Canadian tuxedo at the Washington, DC, stop of her second book tour.
Her outfit included boot-cut jeans with oversized pockets and a fitted jacket worn with no shirt underneath. It was designed by Ganni, and styled by Meredith Koop.
Obama's red, patent-leather boots, on the other hand, were created by Stuart Weitzman.
Obama then showed her edgy side while in Atlanta, Georgia, this month.
For the appearance, Obama was styled by Koop again. She wore a leather jacket and matching pants designed by Palmer Harding.
Koop paired the outerwear with a white Reiss tank top, Grace Lee jewelry, and studded boots from Stuart Weitzman.
