Michelle Obama graces the cover of next month’s Vogue magazine, marking the second time a U.S. first lady has appeared on the front of one of the world’s leading fashion magazines.
Obama, 45, who has been hailed by both U.S. retailers and the media as a new fashion icon, donned a magenta sheath dress for the cover photo. The dress was designed by Jason Wu, who also created her white inaugural ball gown.
Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz took the cover photo and several fashion shots featured inside the March edition of Vogue.
With the exception of Bess Truman, every U.S. first lady since Lou Hoover in the 1930s has been featured in Vogue, but Obama is only the second presidential wife to appear on the cover, Vogue said. Hillary Clinton did so in 1998.

Did Michelle Obama request for this role as a fashionista? I have no idea where it came from.
She definitely seems to be in the public eye when it comes to fashion – I just hope it doesn’t go to her head.
