The most-watched woman in America in regard to fashion seems to be First Lady Michelle Obama.
This month, she graces the cover of Vogue. Sleeveless, of course. (You’ve no doubt heard all the hubbub about this, right? The next issue of People — hitting stands on Friday — will include a feature on several pieces of Michelle Obama’s wardrobe that show off her toned arms.)
She’s trendy and her wardrobe choices are often smart and stylish, so much that even the Huffington Post has a whole page of aggregated content dedicated just to her style. Everything that has been scrutinized about her can be found here: her choice of dress designer, her choice to go sleeveless in the middle of winter, her wearing a pants suit, the way she styles her hair, her flats, her makeup … it’s madness.
In a recent Reuters article, designer Jason Wu said that she is a “stimulus package for the fashion industry.”
Well, I’m sure. But I wonder if she’s tired of everyone looking at her yet.
This article appears in Mar 3-10, 2009.
Michelle Obama is an horrible choice for such mag.
I do not have a major problem with a political figure being on the cover,
The problem is rather about an UGLY woman being on the cover of a FASHION and BEAUTY magazine.
