Michelle Obama has been serving one effortlessly chic and stylish look after another on her podcast with brother Craig Robinson – and her latest outfit didn’t disappoint either!

On the August 20th episode of the IMO podcast, the former First Lady was joined by NBA legend Dwyane Wade and Bring It On actress Gabrielle Union to talk about what they’ve learned when it comes to keeping communication strong with their siblings as adults.

Michelle Obama Rocks A Chic One-Shoulder Top In New Podcast Episode

The Becoming author, 61, looked stunning in a white sweater with one long sleeve, teamed with equally stylish dark-wash jeans. She accessorized with a chunky silver bangle and matching earrings, which were visible due to hair being worn in a sky-high pony. We also have to pay attention to her blue manicure, which complemented the blue hue of her jeans perfectly!

While the episode focused on sibling dynamics, the mom-of-two also reflected on the very different ways she and former President Barack Obama parented their two daughters – Malia, 27, and Sasha, 24 – especially during their White House years.

Michelle Obama Talks About The Difference In Parenting Her Two Daughters

Michelle explained that their eldest daughter Malia had a knack for connecting with her dad in interesting, perhaps even unexpected, ways. "I'd say this to Barack when it comes to [our] oldest Malia, she is going to figure out who you are and what you like and discuss it," Michelle said.

She shared a classic example, and said: "When Malia was a teenager, it wasn't that she was going out any less or doing anything differently, but she would tell me, 'I'm going out this weekend, but I'm going to go in and give dad like 15 minutes.'"

Michelle said: "She'd go into the Treaty Room and go, 'Tell me about Syria?' Then she'd be like, 'Ok, we'll I'm gone.' Barack would come out of the Treaty Room going, 'I just had an amazing conversation with Malia,' and I'm like 'ok.'"

Sasha, on the other hand, couldn't have been more different. Michelle described her younger daughter as "like a cat," meaning she was more independent and far less interested in people pleasing.

"She's like, 'don't touch me, don't pet me, I'm not pleasing you, you come to me,'" Michelle said, noting that her husband sometimes found that challenging. "He's like, 'well, she's difficult,' and I was like, 'no, the first one was a pleaser, right?'"
