Michelle Obama in blue and burgundy sleeveless Reed Krakoff dress
The US First Lady Michelle Obama has bagged herself a second Vogue cover, it has emerged.
Wearing a blue and burgundy sleeveless Reed Krakoff dress, Mrs O was shot by superstar
photographer Annie Leibovitz, a woman known for her huge-scale theatrical fashion shoots.
During the interview, Michelle talks at length about upgrading her husband’s non-chalant dress sense, as well as a bit about her own style. One Vogue interview described her style - “she has inspired a modern definition of effortless American chic.”
“I always say that women should wear whatever makes them feel good about themselves. That’s what I always try to do. . . . I also believe that if you’re comfortable in your clothes it’s easy to connect with people and make them feel comfortable as well. In every interaction that I have with people, I always want to show them my most authentic self,” said Obama.
Both Barack and Michelle Obama were interviewed in the issue by Jonathan Van Meter.
“Who picked the music? I love this song.” The President apparently said during the shoot as Leibovitz played the Black Eyed Peas song Where Is the Love?
In the article Michelle explained that they stay in so much because they want to spend time with their young daughters. However as they are getting old, the Obama did admit that the kids have become more and more preoccupied with their own social life. They even admitted that as result they might start to expand their own social events.
“Now that they want less time with us, who knows? Maybe you’ll see us out in the clubs,” said President Obama.
“Saturday night! The kids are out with their friends. Let’s go party. Let’s put it this way: I did an awful lot of socializing in my teens and 20s,” quipped the First Lady.
