Video Description

Former First Lady Michelle Obama sits down with her glam team to revisit some of her most iconic and memorable fashion moments. Njeri Radway (hairstylist and braider), Meredith Koop (stylist and creative consultant), Yene Damtew (hairstylist), and Carl Ray (makeup artist) join Michelle on the couch as she flips from page to page, recalling not only some of the biggest moments of her life, but of many Americans’ lives as well. From her formative years at Princeton to her marriage to Barack, from the victorious moments of his inauguration to her Becoming book tour, watch how Michelle’s style has evolved throughout the years.
