The March 2009 issue of Vogue featuring Michelle Obama hits the stands tomorrow. On the historical cover, the first lady is dressed in an outfit by Jason Wu.
Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, the same famous photographer who shot her for Paris Match, Michelle Obama is seen wearing a magenta gown from the same designer who did her inaugural ball gown.
Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour says, “Change was the clarion call of Barack Obama’s election campaign, though I don’t think any of us at Vogue initially realized that would include the difference that was going to be made by First Lady Michelle Obama’s wardrobe.”
