Recently, she joined Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, at the Joining Forces initiative at the Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach, VA. The First Lady co-founded the outreach program with Dr. Biden to support and honor America’s service members and their families.

First Lady Michelle Obama on the cover of Vogue

The fashionable First Lady Michelle Obama will appear on the cover of Vogue, on stands in New York and Los Angeles Feb. 17. For the magazine’s March issue, Obama chose to wear a beautiful fuschia silk dress from one of her favorite designers, Jason Wu, who created her lovely inaugural gown.

Praised for her style having glamour without having to sacrifice comfort, Vogue met with the First Lady after her husband’s election night in November. Obama is only the second first lady to grace their cover. Anna Wintour, the magazine editor at Vogue, chose Obama for the cover because “it’s inspiring to see our first lady so serene and secure in her personal style.”

The First Lady has favored the styles of new American designers, including Wu and Isabel Toledo, but she believes that women should wear what makes them feel comfortable. “First and foremost, I wear what I love,” she says. “That’s what women have to focus on: what makes them happy and what makes them feel beautiful. If I can have any impact, I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion.”

Election night was a historical event for many reasons. Not only was Barack Obama chosen as the 44th President of the United States but there was an increased in the voter turnout, proving that many people felt that their candidate of choice deserved their support. President-elect Obama stood proudly with his family, including his beautiful wife, Michelle who wore a red and black Narciso Rodriguez dress from the Spring 2009 collection. During the Democratic campaign, her wardrobe choices, which ranged from Thakoon Panichgul to Maria Pinto, captured the eyes of many fashionistas and placed her on Vanity Fair’s International Best Dressed List this year.

Now it looks like another fashion magazine is interested in the new leading lady. Vogue is very interested in having a Michelle Obama cover, according to a spokesperson from the publication. The tradition of a photograph with the new first lady originated with Eleanor Roosevelt. While the offer is still being discussed, if she does accepts, Obama would be the second first lady ever to grace the cover of the magazine. Former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared on the December 1998 issue.
