Here it is folks! The much-anticipated March ’09 Vogue cover starring Michelle Obama. It seems it was accidentally posted on WSJ’s fashion blog ahead of its launch tomorrow, and quickly picked up by Jezebel for our viewing pleasure (thanks peeps!). Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, there has been plenty of chatter already on forums about the portrait and of course the choice of outfit – a sleeveless fuchsia dress by Jason Wu.
Inside the issue there is an eight-page feature devoted to the new First Lady, in which she concedes that her wardrobe is now under intense scrutiny.
“I’m not going to pretend that I don’t care about it,” she tells the magazine. “But I also have to be very practical. In the end, someone will always not like what you wear – people just have different tastes.”
Michelle was allowed to choose her own outfits for the Vogue shoot, which included Narcisco Rodriguez, who also designed that Election Night dress and J. Crew, a label favoured by her children.
“She doesn’t need any help [choosing outfits]. She loves fashion and knows what works for her,” commented Andre Leon Talley, who interviewed Mrs Obama. “She’s never had a conversation with me about, `What do you think?’ or `How did this look? And I’m glad for that.”

America’s first lady Michelle Obama deserved all the publicity. She is one of the best first lady of America.!!!!
A first lady should be like a best friend. That helps the president more open for and can understand

she is the one and the only one in the USA and in whole the world.she is really as a star of America.
Michelle Obama has her own persona and charm…but I believe that all ladies have a charm of their own, but famous people can show off their charm and odinnary people cannot..so it is important that the famous are good role models just like Michelle Obama who is trying to set an example..
