Michelle Obama Sports Capri Pants & A Small Cardigan During New 'IMO' Episode

It's no secret that one of today's top podcasts is Michelle Obama's In My Opinion, which she hosts alongside her brother, Craig Robinson. This week, the show was back with a new episode and, in Michelle's case, a stylish new outfit.

 

The former First Lady recorded the new podcast episode in a look that's perfect for springtime without any super bright colors. She had on some capri pants made from a cargo material and secured around her waist with a black belt that had a large buckle.

 

She paired the capri pants with a tiny, cropped, sleeveless cardigan top, which allowed her to show off her toned arms. The top was beige, which coordinated with the pants, and had black, white, and brown details on it. The Look author had her long, black hair in braids and worn in a half-up-half-down style.

Michelle Talks To Ryan Michelle Bathe and Sterling K. Brown About Entering A 'New Phase' With Barack Obama

Though most of their podcast is dedicated to talking to their guests, who are often experts, about their field, the mom-of-two and her brother do tend to open up about their personal lives from time to time.

 

Things get especially interesting when Michelle brings up the current state of her relationship with former President Barack Obama, her husband of 33 years. During the March 11th podcast episode, where the sibling duo interviewed Ryan Michelle Bathe and Sterling K. Brown, a Hollywood power couple who have been together since college, she started talking about life with Barack after their time in the White House.

 

"It's a new phase," she admitted. "Which takes time. We're in a new phase of life...The level of muscle Barack and I have in our marriage is earned. It's earned over time, and it's only gotten better. That's the point. It only gets better. We've done the work."
