They’ve broken free of the White House
bubble and they’re not looking back
Barack and Michelle Obama
have been keeping busy since
leaving office, and as the former
president’s new go-to leather
jacket might suggest, it’s been
more play than work (although
they’ve also managed to
squeeze in book deals, surprise
school visits and meetings on
Obama’s presidential library
and foundation).
As the former first couple
has been settling into their new
8,200-square-foot home in
Washington, D.C., they’ve been
exploring the city in a whole
new way, including a recent
visit to the National Gallery of
Art that ended with a round of
applause from fellow museumgoers.
This was also the first
time Obama was spotted
wearing his sleek brown leather
jacket and new and improved
dad jeans — both of which
have earned rave reviews from
the PEOPLE style team.

Pippa Middleton weds
Pippa Middleton and James Mathews wedded
on 20 May, 2017. Philippa Middleton, known
to most as Pippa, is the middle child of the three
Middleton children- Catherine, Duchess of
Cambridge, and James William Middleton, an
entrepreneur whose company sells cake-making
kits for birthdays. The 33-year-old socialite
graduated from the University of Edinburgh with
a degree in English literature, something she later
put to use by releasing her own non-fiction book,
Celebrate, in 2012. However, she is most known
for almost stealing the spotlight on her sister’s
wedding day to Prince William by wearing a
figure-hugging bridesmaid’s dress that turned her
bum into a national talking point.
