Michelle and Barack Obama share Christmas message with elegant holiday photo

Michelle Obama shared a festive message with her followers on Christmas Day, posting a photograph of herself alongside her husband, former US President Barack Obama, to mark the holiday season.

The image, shared on Instagram, showed the couple standing close together and smiling as they sent their seasonal wishes. Michelle wore a black lace dress featuring intricate crocheted detailing across the bodice, paired with a long-sleeved bolero-style wrap. Her hair was styled in fine micro braids with a centre part. Barack complemented her look in an all-black outfit finished with a tan bomber jacket.

Many followers praised the former First Lady’s appearance, with comments highlighting her dress and overall style. Others focused on the warmth of their message.

Michelle Obama has long been recognised for her fashion choices, both during and after her time in the White House.

Earlier this year, she released a book titled The Look, which reflects on her relationship with fashion, hair and beauty throughout her life and public career.
