Michelle Obama Vogue magazine cover girl! First lady Michelle Obama graces the cover of Vogue magazine 2009 March issue more than 10 years after former first lady Hillary Clinton did the same thing in December, 1998. Seen from the pic above, our very fashion-conscious Ms. Obama wore a magenta sheath dress while seating on a sofa in a hotel. The dress is by Jason Wu, the Taiwan designer who designed her white floor-length inaugural ball gown. Michelle Obama Vogue cover photo was taken by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz before her husband Barack Obama installed as USA's 44th President on January 20.
"Change was the clarion call of Barack Obama's election campaign, though I don't think any of us at Vogue initially realized that would include the difference that was going to be made by First Lady Michelle Obama's wardrobe ... It's inspiring to see our first lady so serene and secure in her personal style." said Anna Wintour, Vogue magazine's editor at large, why to choose Michelle Obama for the mag's March cover.
