- D MurphA Beautiful Blend of Style, Confidence, and HeartLove the work that was put into this book. “The Look” was full of color, history, and with a lot of stunning photographs and reflections, Michelle turned fashion into a story. It’s an inspiring, easy read. Must buy.
- DaraForever My First LadyAs a long-time admirer of Michelle Obama, I must say that 'The Look' is a stunning portrayal of her beauty and grace. The photos are not just beautiful; they capture the essence of a down-to-earth person who has become a role model for many. Michelle's ability to endure scrutiny and criticism, while always staying poised and assertive, is truly inspiring. Her motto, "When they go low, we go high, "is a testament to the strength of being a black woman in America. 'The Look' is not just a fashion book; it's a celebration of Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, the most excellent First Lady ever (to me). She is one of a kind and a true inspiration to everyone.
- lzf48Beautiful book, HORRIBLE Amazon packagingI pre-ordered this book and was so excited to get it. It arrived on Tuesday, the 4th in a box with no packaging inside. When I opened the box, the corner of the book was dented and had a small tear. I immediately went online to return it and selected replacement rather than refund.
The next day, my replacement book came, again with no protective packaging inside the box. This time, the binding on the back cover was torn and the cover would not close.
I don’t understand why both books were so poorly packaged. How hard was it to put paper packaging inside the box to protect the book? Since two out of two books in two days were damaged, I won’t be purchasing another copy from Amazon. Instead I will purchase it somewhere else.
The book, however, is gorgeous! I haven’t completely opened it, but I fanned through the pages to glance at the photos. Such beautiful photos of a beautiful First Lady. I’m waiting for my new book to arrive from a different store so I can sit down and read it thoroughly.
PS: the book isn’t just about fashion. It’s about our first black First Lady and about how she had to thoughtfully select her look because she was critically judged by the color of her skin (and not by her intelligence, accomplishments, and gracefulness), and wanted to be sure that her presentation wouldn’t be misinterpreted. I admire her greatly and appreciate the wonderful gifts she gave to us as FLOTUS, and has continued to do so, even after the White House. - Brenda S.Beautiful book full of designer fashions and tidbits about Michelle ObamaThis is a beautifully photographed book - suitable as a gift, coffee table display or simply because you enjoy well written books.
- CMALKAH428AWESOME! FABULOUS PICTURES AND INSPIRING TEXT!Michelle Obama is extraordinary! I received my book today, and I looked at all the pictures, from cover to cover. Now I am going back and reading the text. I only put it down because I am volunteering in our local elections, which would make my favorite FLOTUS happy!
What makes this book so fascinating is that it reveals another side of Ms. Obama and how she perceived her role as the First Lady! Her wardrobe pieces were carefully thought out and pitch-perfect for every occasion.
"The Look" shows us how captivated a "picture" book can be! This one is as elegant and engaging as the woman who is its subject!
Thanks, once again, Mrs. Obama. Your openness makes us gasp in awe and helps us believe that we are all beautiful and deserving of praise, recognition, and the opportunity to "become" our own selves, with our own styles, ambitions, and looks! You are my forever FLOTUS! - MAGGreat book!Great coffee table book. It’s a great addition to any library. Great price for a large hardcover book! Beautiful layout and design. Great gift idea for anyone that’s into fashion, styling or just wants to know more about someone in the public eye, such as the former First Lady Michelle Obama.
- SusanGreat book, beautiful pictures and love the hard cover!Beautiful book, reflecting on the years First Lady Michelle Obama spent in the White House. The reason I gave it 4 stars is that the book was not wrapped in proper packaging material to protect it during shipping and when it is placed outside the door in the Rain!!!
- IraMy birthday was complete!Such a beautiful book. Put together perfectly. When it came out a few weeks ago, I knew I had to have it. November is my birth month so when my husband ask what I wanted, “The Look” by Michelle Obama was first on my list. If I didn’t get this, I didn’t want anything. The photos of the First Lady are exquisite, perfect, with vibrant colors and she looks radiant. Don’t forget her amazing story, and her team is to be congratulated. Just look at her fashion, always with purpose and deliberate detail. I’m so excited to have this book.
