Michelle Obama Is Racializing Her Wardrobe

In her new fashion book, The Look, Michelle Obama shares her philosophy and insight behind her style choices as the former first lady. Obama received backlash on social media for sharing her preference for wearing pieces from people of color, and her earlier comments in 2025 on her avoidance of wearing the color white. On this episode of The Spectator P.M. Podcast, hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo discuss Obama’s comments and criticize the racial motivation behind her fashion choices. They also talk about Obama’s recent appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, where Obama and Cooper make claims about objectifying women and women’s rights.
