On the latest episode of her "IMO" podcast, former First Lady Michelle Obama revealed she recently got 10 new ear piercings in one sitting. She discussed the spontaneous decision with her brother and co-host, Craig Robinson.
"I have always thought about getting some extra piercings in my ear and just never got around to it," Obama explained. She was inspired by younger people and the trend of "beautiful adornment," describing her new look as a "constellation" of twinkles.
The conversation took a humorous turn as Obama noted it took her husband, Barack Obama, a few days to notice the new piercings, while her brother claimed he spotted them sooner.
This revelation follows Obama's recent comments to PEOPLE about enjoying new freedoms in her personal style, including wearing braids, which she felt was less scrutinized outside the White House.
