Working with @MeredithKoop has never just been about clothesâitâs about the meaning behind them. Iâve long trusted Meredithâs eye, her thoughtful research, and her ability to understand the cultural context behind every look. She helps me communicate through what I wear, always keeping my voice at the center.
Writing The Look with Meredith brought that same depth and intention into a new kind of partnership. Iâm grateful for the substance, clarity, and care she brought to this book.
I hope youâll read #TheLook and see for yourself just how exceptional she is!
During her eight years in the White House, Michelle Obama avoided talking about her style so her clothing wouldnât be a âdistractionâ from the many initiatives she championed during her time as first lady. That silence didnât stop fashion media, however, from devouring every look. And through it all, her longtime stylist Meredith Koop has been her sartorial secret weapon. At the link in bio, read as Koop talks about working with the former first lady, the messaging behind Obama's looks, and more.

We couldnât wrap up our special @imopodcasts : The Look limited series without a conversation with my stylist and The Look co-author @meredithkoop .
For more than a decade, Meredith has helped me navigate nearly every public moment, from slippery staircases to last-minute push-ups to carefully planned State Dinners. What has always struck me is her unyielding belief in the power of style to tell a story. Her work may have happened behind the scenes, but the larger messages she helped craft were always center stage. And a special thank you to @elainewelteroth for moderating such a heartfelt conversation.
