The former First Lady returned to the White House alongside Barack Obama as their official White House portraits were finally unveiled.The portrait unveiling event marks their first joint visit to the building since they left in 2017, and a return of the tradition of official portraits, which was last celebrated ten years ago.
The artist behind Michelle's portrait describes her work as "contemporary realism," and it captures the mother-of-two beautifully. Her hair is painted into a short blow-out, and she has both minimal make-up and jewelry, with simple eyeliner on her eyes and wearing only her engagement ring on her hands. Per CNN,"the artwork was painted from photographs taken in different locations on the White House’s State Floor."MORE: Michelle Obama marks end of an era with tribute message to Serena Williams following retirement
