As we reported back on January 27th, First Lady Michelle Obama would grace the cover of Vogue. Well, here is the cover! Mrs. Obama said she is aware of how her wardrobe is being scrutinized, but she makes no apologies for her choices — even the Election Night combination of ripped-from-the-runway, fashion-forward dress and plain-Jane cardigan. The First Lady says "I'm not going to pretend that I don't care about it," she said. "But I also have to be very practical. In the end, someone will always not like what you wear — people just have different tastes." She did choose outfits for the Vogue photos by labels she has worn before: Wu, who made her inaugural gown; Narcisco Rodriguez, the designer of that Election Night dress; and J. Crew, which she and her children have famously worn. Most cover models have their clothes chosen for them by Vogue, or at least editors work as advisers. Not this time.
"She doesn't need any help. She loves fashion and knows what works for her," Andre Leon Talley said. "She's never had a conversation with me about, `What do you think?' or `How did this look? And I'm glad for that."
The magazine hits the news stands on February 17.
