Michelle Obama Interviews Conan O'Brien In A Red Bodycon Top & Low Ponytail

Over the last few years, since her husband, Barack Obama's, second term as president ended, the Becoming author has been taking on a lot of neat projects. One of the most popular has been the podcast she hosts alongside her brother, Craig Robinson, IMO.

 

On the show, she's been sporting some pretty stylish and trendy outfits, and the one she wore during this week's episode was no exception. The brother-sister duo spoke to famous comedian and talk show host Conan O'Brien, and she wore a deep red bodycon top with a turtleneck top. The long-sleeved top hugged her figure and coordinated with some matching leather pants, creating a cohesive look.

 

The mom-of-two also had a youthful, trendy hairstyle, as her hair was in small braids and worn back in a low ponytail, putting together a fun look for the interesting episode.

Fans React To Michelle's Outfit On Social Media

There was a lot to unpack during this episode, as fans of the Obamas and regular listeners loved the siblings' conversation with the show host.

 

One viral moment was when Michelle opened up about her days in the White House, and how she felt her family had to be on their absolute best behavior compared to what the Trump administration had been getting away with. However, aside from the subject matter of their conversation, fans also thought she looked great in her red outfit.

 

"Our First Lady looks so beautiful!" wrote a fan on Instagram.

 

"Mr. Obama is a blessed man to have her," added another.

 

"A class act," commented a fan, as another wrote, "she is amazing."

 

We'll be curious to see what other looks Michelle and her hiring team put together this year, but so far, she's off to a great start by her fans' standards.
