“When I’m not in the public eye, I’m active. I swim, I play tennis, I work out — I don’t want a stylist with me every minute,” she said. For her, braids offer both freedom and practicality.
She also emphasized the meaning behind wearing braids during her official portrait unveiling, explaining she wanted to contribute to the conversation about Black women in positions of power:
“Braids are an appropriate and beautiful way to wear your hair.”
Now an empty nester with daughters Malia and Sasha living on their own, Michelle says date nights with Barack Obama look a little different.

Whether she’s sharing family insights or redefining elegance with a new hairstyle, Michelle Obama continues to inspire millions — effortlessly.
