See Michelle Obama’s Second ‘Vogue’ Cover

Barack Obama has already said that he has a lot in common with Jay-Z (noting they both have daughters and wives more popular than themselves). Now in the April issue of Vogue, he’s comparing wife (and the magazine’s cover star) Michelle to Beyoncé.

Why? Because she’s glad that his high-powered job required him to get more suits and lose the pair of khakis he’s had since he was 20. “Michelle’s like Beyoncé in that song,” he jokes. “‘Let me upgrade ya!’ She upgraded me.”

Also on his style team: daughters Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11. “The girls and I are always rooting when he wears, like, a stripe,” Michelle says. “They’re like, ‘Dad! Oh, you look so handsome. Oh, stripes! You go!’”

President Obama isn’t the only one whose style has changed over the course of his administration; case in point, Michelle’s hair is definitely different than it was on her first Vogue cover in 2009.

But her style philosophy remains the same: “I always say that women should wear whatever makes them feel good about themselves,” she says. “That’s what I always try to do.” And with a second Vogue cover under her belt, it appears to be working for her! For more from the President and First Lady, visit Vogue.com and pick up the new issue, on newsstands March 26.

What happened to when actual models graced the cover of Vogue? Now it’s just pop tarts, celebrities and celebrity wannabes.

yankeesrj12 the reason they are so popolar is b/c they are LIKED. They dont have to do mags and shows to get liked.

So they are saying she is like Beyonce (bouncy as my father called her) so she is possessed by Sasha Fierce too like Beyonce and has demons loving inside her too?

TheyKnow on March 14th, 2013

Karen she is beautiful and you sound just like someone who was not loved as a child. Her dresses are always classy.

She looks good, we saw her in person recently, however, that photo has been seriously retouched. She’s not that thin, more of a normal, healthy weight. Why do they feel the need to distort the image? She looks great in person, the way she is, they didn’t need to do this! Normal weight is ok. I think leaving it untouched is a nice inspiration.

FYI Vogue had to ask her to be on the cover dummies. SHE didnt just show up there for no reason. Why be mad with her, be mad with Vogue..LOL!! YAll are pathetic losers!!

Karen on March 14th, 2013

Does she think she is a movie star? Give me a break, she is on the down side of average. I hate her dresses no matter where she gets them.

KATHY on March 14th, 2013
