We tried real hard to find our lovely first lady Michelle Obama wearing something awful, but this amazing woman knows her style even when relaxed. With that we found the best of the best instead. With a year gone by since she got this picture taken for Vogue magazine we are bringing it back out for another look. Just a reminder that even extremely busy moms can look simply radiant.
We promise to be brief in this post. We just really need to show you, our superfly First Lady, Michelle Obama, on the March Vogue cover.

Michelle Obama wears pink sheath dress created by the designer who also created her inauguration gown, Jason Wu. She was photographed by world-renowned photographer, Annie Leibovitz at the Hay-Adams Hotel during the presidential inauguration. She’s the second First Lady to graze the cover of Vogue, following Hillary Rodham Clinton in 1998, also shot by Leibovitz.
The Obamas are fly and when it comes to fashion, we’re so glad that finally we can look up to people in the White House for guidance. Been a long time since Jackie O, and thank goodness for Michelle O.
Any thoughts on the dress?
After scoring big with us on the Inauguration Ceremony dress and coat by Isabel Toledo, Michelle Obama donned a white, angelic (although some say almost bridal) gown by a newcomer: Jason Wu. And she scored WAY bigger! We didn’t expect the First Lady to pick a newcomer to dress her for the most important night in her life, but come to think about it… this is why we love the Obamas so much. Their fresh way of thinking!
Our First Lady believed in research, therefore, as she did with Isabel Toledo, she wore Jason Wu’s silk sheath dress from his Spring 2009 collection when she appeared on the Barbara Walters TV interview. Wu was excited about the dress and made a comment about why Michelle O worked his creation:
“There’s no muss, no fuss. It worked because she’s not ornate. She’s fresh. But beyond that, I think she’s made an even bigger statement by wearing brands that are more budget-conscious, like J. Crew.”
Speaking of J. Crew, those fabulous green gloves Michelle Obama wore earlier on the inauguration ceremony came from the brand. She also decided to dress Malia and Sasha in J. Crew coats. We guess it’s a not only a fashion statement, more importantly, it’s a statement of commitment to stay down-to-earth in this difficult time.
Anyway, back to the main question: Do you like or loathe Michelle O’s inauguration ball gown?
While we haven’t heard First Lady-elect’s decision on whose creation she’ll be donning on inauguration night, we heard that Michelle Obama’s BFF, Oprah, had generously offered the blings. The most powerful woman in entertainment herself stated that Michelle Obama may borrow any piece from her personal jewelry collection. Known as a strong Obama supporter and a stylish lady herself, Oprah has a bunch of exotic and classic jewelries, simply everything from simple diamond stud earrings to necklaces worth millions in her collection and Michelle O is free to choose whichever she wants to wear! Wow.
If you were Michelle Obama, would you take the offer?
After supporting the Obama campaign a few months back by designing a cute tote bag along with other fashion designers and celebrity designers, the renowned lady of fashion, Diane Von Furstenberg has also submitted her design pitch for Michelle Obama’s inaugural dress. The designer is reported to be excited about this. Ms. Von Furstenberg’s thoughts:
“Well, they asked me to. Of course, everybody has. I’m so proud to be an American. Otherwise, right now we would all be so depressed.”
Well we would, probably. However, we took a sneak peek of Diane Von Furstenberg’s more casual designs and we just love them. Here are some of our favorites from the DVF collection.
Soffer Dress. Gotta love the print and the slim sleeves there.
Benny Dress in black. Not too crazy about another LBD? It also comes in green!
And finally the colorful Margot Print Dress! We like!
Should Diane Von Furstenberg gets chosen as Michelle Obama’s inaugural gown designer, well… based on these three dresses, it’s probably safe to say that she’s got our approval!
