Michelle Obama

Taken in 1982, this blast from the past shows a young Michelle Obama in a leggy silk gown for her prom night. About seven years and two diplomas later, she would meet her husband, former President Barack Obama, while working at the same law firm in Chicago. They were married in 1992.

The power couple built a family and their respective careers in the years that followed. After the end of her husband’s presidency, Michelle published her memoir Becoming in 2018 and began a self-titled podcast in 2020. She and Barack currently live in an $8.1 million home in Washington, D.C.
