February 13, 2018•2 minute read

This isn’t the first time Barack Obama has stolen the social media spotlight. From his bromance with Joe Biden to “Thanks, Obama,” the 44th President of the United States has established himself as a regular social media star. Get ready, because he is breaking the internet once again.

This week, Barack and Michelle Obama’s presidential portraits were inaugurated into the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. While they stand next to traditional portraits of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the Obamas brought an extra element of finesse to the table.

The former president and first lady’s portraits have grabbed attention for a bunch of reasons. People are calling them radiant, and glam, and above all, really cool. We can’t get enough of them.

The Obamas are proving that portraits aren’t dead. All you need to transform your selfie into a glam portrait is a little magic.
