On her podcast "In My Opinion," Michelle Obama revealed that she's added 10 new piercings to her look. In a conversation with co-host Craig Robinson, who is also her brother, he says, "What I learned is that you tried to pierce your ears and you thought I didn't notice. And I see you've got all these new piercings in your ears."
"I don't think you noticed," her sister replied, laughing.
She also claims that she has always thought about getting some additional piercings in her ears, although she had never gotten around to doing them.
"But these days, the young people in my life are getting more piercings. There's just more beautiful jewelry," Michelle says, showing off her piercing.
In their conversation, she also revealed that it took her husband, Barack Obama, three days to notice this change in his wife.
Another change the former First Lady has recently made to her appearance has been her braids, which she justifies with a desire for a more natural and protective look for her hair.
"Braids allow me to do them, and it's one less thing I have to think about. When I'm away from the public eye, I swim, I play tennis, and braids represent that kind of freedom for me," she said.
But during her years in the White House, Michelle Obama admits she didn't think braids were an option.
"I wasn't sure if the country was ready for this, I didn't want my hair to become a distraction," she says, speaking of her choice not to wear this hairstyle during her husband's two terms as President.
"But a few years after I left the White House, the time came. I wanted to send a message, to add to the discourse of black women in high positions of power, that this is also an appropriate and beautiful way to wear your hair," Michelle Obama claims.
