It's official: Following much speculation, First Lady Michelle Obama will grace the cover of Vogue's March issue. The magazine hits newsstands on February 24th.
Obama was interviewed by Vogue Editor-at-Large André Leon Talley and photographed by Annie Leibovitz.
First Lady Michelle Obama is to feature on the cover of the March edition of US Vogue wearing a sleeveless magenta dress as she reclines on a sofa.
The glossy's website, vogue.com, previews the appearance by Obama, only the second First Lady to make the cover after Hillary Clinton.
All other first ladies - except for Harry Truman's wife Bess - have been featured in the US edition of the fashion magazine, although not on the cover.
Obama was photographed by Annie Leibovitz in a Jason Wu dress for the issue. She picked the same young Tawian-born designer for her inauguration ball gown on January 20.
In an interview with CNN television, Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley said the magazine had sought to portray the "real Michelle Obama."
"It's a cover about her warmth, which comes from within, it's not about her being a fashion icon," he said. "We're not trying to put her on a pedestal and make her into a fashionista.
