In this live podcast taping, former First Lady Michelle Obama is joined on stage in conversation by award-winning actor Tracee Ellis Ross (Girlfriends, Black-ish) for one night only at BAM. These two icons of culture discuss Mrs. Obama’s forthcoming book, The Look, which traces her style evolution—from her husband’s U.S. Senate campaign to her years as the first Black First Lady and her role today as one of the nation’s most influential figures.
Featuring the perspective of Mrs. Obama’s trusted stylist, Meredith Koop, as well as her makeup artist Carl Ray and hairstylists Yene Damtew and Njeri Radway, The Look brings readers behind the scenes to reveal how her most memorable looks came together and to tell a powerful story about how we present ourselves.
Higher Ground, the media company founded by President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, announced a special six-part limited companion series to its hit podcast IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson. The new series is an extension of the The Look (Crown Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House) on sale November 4, 2025. We hope you’ll join us for this very special live-taping of part of the companion podcast.
Please note that signed copies will not be available for purchase, and there will be no book-signing portion of the evening.
