When it comes to fashion, Former First Lady Michelle Obama never disappoints. Whether she’s rocking something off the rack from J. Crew or designer duds from the latest Versace collection, she knows what looks best on her, and she’s not afraid to push the envelope. And her style has only become edgier since she left the White House.
Her time as First Lady may be over, but she’s still serving lewks as she hits the road to promote her latest book, “The Light We Carry,” braids and all. So we thought it would be fun to look at some of her book tour bests over the years. But knowing Mrs. Obama, we’ll definitely have to keep updating this one as the tour goes on.

The Dopest Denim
She’s even classy when she’s casual. Mrs. Obama shows up and shows out in Balmain jeans, Stuart Weitzman booties and Swarovski earrings for a conversation with Michele Norris at a stop in San Francisco. And the icing on the cake? The dress that was reimagined as a top.
Fly Girl
The First Lady was serving old-school hip hop vibes in this Fila jacket and pants she wore at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. All she’s missing is a pair of bamboo earrings.

Doing it in Denim
For her stop in D.C., Mrs. Obama rocked a denim on denim look from the Ganni Resort 2023 collection that was casually chic. But when it comes to this look, it was the red patent boot for me.
Fly in Philly
This all black look from Bottega Veneta’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection for her recent Philadelphia book signing event is stunning. She accessorizes with simple jewelry and Stuart Weitzman booties.

Balenciaga at Barclay’s

Pretty in Pink
If there’s one thing I can say about Michelle Obama, ya girl can rock a pantsuit. And the pink suit she wore at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif gave me life.
Wearing White Well
All-white is not for everyone. But Mrs. Obama looks flawless in a white wide-legged jumpsuit at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
Bringing it in Blue
We can’t get enough of Mrs. Obama’s monochromatic looks, especially this blue ensemble she wore for her stop at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on the “Becoming” tour in 2018.
A Perfect Pantsuit
Wearing all white for a stop on the “Becoming” tour at the Forum in Inglewood, California back in 2018.
Sweet Home Chicago
You have to bring it when you sit down with Oprah Winfrey. And Mrs. Obama did just that in an all-white ensemble at a Chicago stop on her “Becoming” book tour. We love the subtly sexy touches, including the peek-a-boo shoulder and pop of color with her pink pumps.
