Michelle recalled that she last had her ears pierced two decades ago, before she and Obama’s daughter was born.
‘I had a second [piercing] The hole I had before I had a child. But then I got lazy and stopped wearing earrings,’ she told Robinson.
‘But these days the young people in my life are getting more piercings. There are just nicer decorations.’
Pointing to her now heavily pierced left ear, Michelle told Robinson: ‘You see, there’s more of a cluster. A constellation style look.’
Although Michelle was pleased with her ‘beautiful’ new piercings, she admitted it was not her plan to get so many piercings in one sitting.
‘So, I was going in for a few days and then I did my normal thing and said: “Oh, put one and put one [there]. “Let’s try one there,” he explained.
‘So I got 10 piercings in one sitting.’
Robinson recoiled, thinking that the experience was painful for Michelle.

‘I always thought about getting extra piercings in my ear but never had the courage,’ he told the audience.
But he insisted it was ‘not bad at all’. ‘Not for me.’
Michelle also revealed her husband’s reaction to the new additions. ‘Barack finally noticed. “It took a few days,” he said, laughing.
According to Michelle, Obama said the reason he didn’t realize it sooner was a recent change in his wife’s hairstyle.
He said: “You didn’t tie up your hair. You left your hair open.” And I said, “Um, I don’t know. I sleep with you every night, man.”
“But he noticed yesterday,” he added.
Michelle’s piercing revelation comes just weeks after she appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she criticized the public’s obsession with her physical appearance. During Obama’s first presidential campaign.
He argued that articles about him often begin with ‘He was dressing’ rather than focusing on his professional career.
‘It started with appearance,’ he explained. “And as we got better, it got worse,” Michelle added, referring to her husband’s campaign.
She also revealed how long it took her husband, former US president Barack Obama, to notice her new additions.
Michelle said the decision was inspired by the “young people” in her life, citing her daughters Malia, 27, and Sasha, 24, who both have numerous piercings.
Although she did not take criticism about her appearance personally at first, she said she was hesitant to lean into her style for fear she would not be questioned about her role in her husband’s administration.
‘I realized that fashion and appearance were so powerful for women that if I spent too much time talking about it maybe no one would hear what I had to say,’ she admitted.
Michelle’s critics criticized her remarks as ‘hypocritical’ because she was speaking out against society’s obsession with women’s appearance while also supporting women’s appearance. A new book he wrote about fashion.
It was also stated that Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper’s first question to Michelle on the podcast was about her outfit and how she chose it.
‘The jokes write themselves (and a book, as the case may be),’ one commenter wrote.
‘But… is her own book about her clothes?’ someone else asked.

“Nothing gets the media and press behind you about your clothes like publishing a book about your clothes and going on podcasts about your clothes,” said a third.
Michelle’s style book, Look, was published last November and features over 200 photographs of her ‘style evolution’.
Koop, Michelle’s makeup artist Carl Ray, three of her hairstylists and many of the designers she works with also wrote for the book.
The Amazon description for The Look reads: ‘Obama’s candid and heartfelt stories illuminate how her approach to dressing evolved throughout her life – from the colorful sheath dresses, cardigans and brogues she wore during her time as First Lady, to the bold suits, jeans and knits of her post-White House life, and all the active looks and beautiful dresses in between.’
