“Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts interviews former first lady Michelle Obama in a new ABC News Studios special, “Michelle Obama: The Style, The Power, The Look – A Conversation with Robin Roberts – Special Edition of 20/20,” set to air this Sunday, Nov. 2 on ABC.
The special, which air at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday and will stream the next day on Hulu, is timed to Obama’s upcoming book “The Look.” Roberts’ interview, which was filmed at Marymount University in Virginia, focuses on Obama’s style and other fashion-oriented topics.
“The Look,” which is set to be released by Crown on Nov. 4, was written by Obama with help from Meredith Koop, who worked as Obama’s stylist and creative consultant both during the President Barack Obama administration and after. “The Look” centers on the former first lady’s style from when she first entered the public eye.
Per the description for the ABC News Studios special, “Obama shares the important role and at times complex role fashion has played in her life, from designing her own prom dress at a young age to navigating living in the spotlight as the first Black first lady of the United States and helping define who she is today. A passionate supporter of future generations and education, Obama surprises past and present students who are working to make their own marks on fashion.”
Other interviews in the special include Koop, as well as Obama’s makeup artist Carl Ray and hairstylists Yene Damtew and Njeri Radway. Also in the special are designers Diane von Furstenberg, Jason Wu, Tracy Reese and Narciso Rodriquez, as well as several fashion commentators.
ABC News Studios and 20/20 are behind “Michelle Obama: The Style, The Power, The Look – A Conversation with Robin Roberts – Special Edition of 20/20”; Janice Johnston and Karen Leo are executive producers while David Sloan is senior executive producer.
